Powers of the Internet for Learning

“The need for a new design in learning is there. … Schooling changed to take on elements of the industrial revolution (factory-line classes, assembly-line curriculum, and teacher-foremen) that worked for the needs of the industrial age. New designs are needed to create the "knowledge workers" who will define the information age.”

One of the Definitions of Learning

“Learning exhibits itself as a change in behavior and the inference of learning is made by comparing what behavior was possible before…and what behavior can be exhibited after participation in the learning process.”
