He envisioned placing the “control ofcontent...into the hands of every individual...where everyone in need of a given skill orknowledge can be connected directly with those who have it… to have potentially billions ofauthors and publishers” [2, p. 81]. Years later, it is clear that this vision—to democratizeeducation by empowering billions of people to reach and teach one another—has largely beenfulfilled.

Other methods includecalling on students according to their seating arrangement or alphabetically. Moderate careshould be exercised so that each student is being asked nearly an equal number of questionsthroughout the semester. The next step is to reduce a lecture into explanations, short questions, opinions anddiscussion topics. Each part has its own purpose in conveying material. A primary goal is to askquestions to at least 20 different students during a 50 minute class. Questions should flow veryfast and move from student to student.

As business and industry assimilate IT tools to enhance digital globalizationthe factory-silo model loses its relevance and is not flexible enough to accommodate innovations ina timely fashion. Increasingly, IT is used to define next generation manufacturing where worldclass firms do a better job of engaging groups outside the firm.
