I agree fully. But, I'd take it one step further. Within online education it does need to be about flashy presentation, that is presentation of student work. Students shouldn't just learn about subjects; they should do subjects and subject matter experts are experts because they produce high quality products. Students should use the tools of Web 2.0 to produce high quality demonstrations of mastery. (Of course, I'm not minimizing the importance of teaching. I'm I'm emphasizing the centrality of learning.) Just a thought!! - Andrew Pass Wed, 19 Nov 2008 09:21:42 +0100
