"As a result of personal digital platforms, the potential is for society to return to the form of inquiry and discussion between individuals based on asking and answering questions that stimulates critical thinking and the illumination of ideas. This is, in effect, the Socratic method poular across Europe prio to the Industrial Revolution. . . .
given that we have retained the tradition of fact recall assessments written in ink, technology has been used in the tradition of automating learning and de-skilling the craftspeople, i.e the teachers.
But imagine a world where it became compulsory and expected that students in a high-stakes exam would collaborate with their colleagues and use their connected devices." (Brown-Martin)
