Digital Information Networks and the Future of Online Learning

Digital information networks, with their tremendous amounts of data, constitute a challenge to the capacity for an individual to know the relevant aspects of society, a knowledge that international agencies often acknowledge as being an essential aspect of citizenship. Are there solutions for this very practical question? Is it possible to make profit from those big quantities of data? What are the role and importance of education, science, technology, and the humanities for contemporary societies, particularly for online universities? (Calhoun, 1996).
