Traditional Asian education and education 2.0: how close is the fit?

Abstract

This paper is situated in the global context where Asia is seeking to redefine itself as an entity with values of its own that weld it together as a block sufficiently distinct from other blocks. Conceptually, the paper aims to gauge the closeness of fit between traditional Asian education and the set of information and communications technologies employed by the so-called Education 2.0, and inspired by the Web 2.0 movement
