George Siemens, Connectivist and author of the book Knowing Knowledge, put a presentation together called Being Human in a Digital Age in Aug of 2016.
Being Human in a Digital Age
I’m exploring what it means to be human in a digital age and what role universities play in developing learners for this experience. Against the backdrop of everything is changing, we aren’t paying enough attention to what we are becoming. The Becoming is the central role of education in a machine learning, artificial intelligence era.
It’s great to see people like Michael Wesch exploring the formative aspect of education. Randy Bass’s work on Formation by Design is also notable and important.

Microsoft can embed office docs in web pages like ours, but their document size limitation thwarts this 23MB file)
kudos to Gary for this catch.
