Reality Check
Thursday, November 6th, 2003Right along the lines of my “Learning objects to learning objects” post. Thanks for the pointer, David. And are you coming to edBlogger SF? Free housing available.
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
be created and the fact it hasn’t worked well yet is just a matter of
not having perfected the system. It is the brain child of analytical
(as opposed to global) thinking. Too bad reality is more vague,
ambiguous, and complex. Too bad education is largely an art, and that
the act of teaching is information mediated by personality. It doesn’t
bode well for all-encompassing systems. Comment: via OLDaily” [Serious Instructional Technology]
