"Universal Literacy: The Digital Age Engages the Learning Brain"
Dominic Massaro,
Research Professor, Psychology, UC Santa Cruz
Society faces increasing challenges in the ability to support the
infrastructure of a literate society. Virtual teachers, the internet, and
the ceaseless access to information hold promise. To date, however, these
potential solutions do not consider the learning brain. This talk
illustrates how universal literacy can be achieved with minimal cost,
allowing a revolutionary new age that challenges the survival of our
educational institutions and society as we know them.
