No learning?“Your So-Called Education”, The New York Times May 14, 2011; http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/15/opinion/15arum.html?_r=3
Arum & Roska:
45% of students showed “no significant improvement” over one year of study (freshmen in fall 2005 through spring 2007). 36% after 4 years of college “education”.
“American higher education is characterized by limited or no learning for a large proportion of students.”

Learner is not the center22
Audrey Watters
In an LMS, students are not in control of their content, their data, their connections. …the course is behind a wall. Everything is meant to take place therein. At the end of the course, the student loses access to the course, and to any of the content or data they’ve created.
There is one instructor. Maybe two. Maybe some course assistants. They grade. They monitor the forums.
The instructors are the center. The content is the center.
The learner is not the center.
The Web, of course, does not work this way.

“What we found was that in a MOOC, instead of the classroom being the center, it becomes just one node of the network of social interactions."

Let's shutter our "learning management systems" and build "understanding augmentation networks" instead, moving away from educational assembly lines toward intellectual ecosystems of interest and curiosity. --Gardner Campbell

The enormous multiplication of books in every branch of knowledge is one of the greatest evils of this age; since it presents one of the most serious obstacles to the acquisition of correct information.--Edgar Allan Poe
The multitude of books is a great evil. There is no measure of limit to this fever for writing.--Martin Luther
