This webinar series was based on the book Education for a Digital World - Edition 2.0, edited by Sandy Hirtz and Kevin Kelly. The series was organized in partnership with Steve Hargadon, manager of Learn Central. Book chapter authors were invited to give an overview of their chapter, followed by Q&A from the live audience. These sessions were then recorded.

Education for a Digital World 2.0: Innovations in Education (edition 2) published by the BC Ministry of Education and OpenSchool BC in July 2011, is a two-volume compilation of 34 chapters from 98 contributors representing thirteen countries. The collaboratively authored book, and its predecessor Education for a Digital World, represent a shift in how educators are sharing their research, experiences and best practices in online teaching and learning. Facilitated completely through virtual interactions, this new model of authoring went beyond writing and editing to become an international effort in community building and professional growth.
