Perhaps the key to pedagogy in the age of the Internet is teaching 
people how they can find enough common interest and trust to work 
together, online.

In presentations on green ICT, I avoid debating climate science. I 
explain that I am not a climate scientist, but researchers who's 
judgement I trust say it is real.

ps: Education is not just of academic interest, as it is Australia's 
second largest export industry (after mining). If we can teach people 
how to work together online, that export industry can grow.
