Paul Bradshaw of the Online Journalism Blog created this Slideshare presentation for his students. He is a Senior Lecturer in Online Journalism, Magazines and New Media at Birmingham City University’s (UK) School of Media. and intends to share his lessons online. As a Web Marketing Strategist and Instructor at Georgian College in Barrie, Ontario, I intend to follow a similar model and post some lectures to my blog as well. I love this concept of information sharing, it is like open source, for education.

This is a further indication of the paradigm shift directly relating to the age of the Instructor, Teacher or Professor.
I find that some faculty put up any barrier they can possibly think to avoid sharing their intellectual property. However, here we have someone who wants to teach the world, not just the class in front of him.

I love this teaching model. The internet IS the place for learning, we just have to increase the number of credible sources that the information comes from and this is the perfect way to do it.

Wasn’t this one of the first lessons we learned as children? Share and share alike.

Enjoy the SlideShare presentation, it is well worth the read.
