Quote:“The RLO/RCO approach assumes that learning is largely
information dispensing, that content can be clearly categorized into
narrowly defined slots, that an objective, all-encompassing system can

not having perfected the system. It is the brain child of analytical

the act of teaching is information mediated by personality. It doesn’t
bode well for all-encompassing systems. Comment: via OLDaily” [Serious Instructional Technology]
