Teacherless Learning

Shaun, again, we need other "sets of eye balls" to do a professional reality check on what you have done to date.  You could start with submitting what you have to SmarThinking.com.  You pay for it in your tuition.  You need not to accept its feedback as definitive; it might provide some fresh insight, perspective.  I suggest you start here.  Above all, you are positioning yourself to be on trend, big time.  The challenge will be - as always - budget to change the systems.  We are moving toward "teacherless" learning.  As Peter F. Drucker put it, "Teaching is what we do to people.  Learning is what we do for ourselves.   Educational technology emphasizes, focuses on learning, not teaching."  He saw it clearly.   He died in 2005.  He also predicted that the drop in costs of learning technologies will enable poor countries to train workforces quickly ("overnight") to the surprise of this country and others in our Western league.  In short, as we move from bricks and mortar to clicks, we can drop the costs of buildings - and yes, reduce teaching, teacher costs too in the process.  The pedagogy, andragogy (adult learning theory) for this paradigm shift is waiting.  You are going to carve out a fantastic career future here if you "play your cards right."  I am excited to play a small part as your professor in this exciting future for you.  Lead it!   Happy 2013!  Dr. Rux
