Learning Continuum
2 likes636 views
The document discusses using a "learning continuum" theory to rethink formal education systems with a focus on stimulating student learning rather than facilitating teaching. It presents the learning continuum as having four dimensions - purpose, context, content, and process - each with three extremes. Examples are given of innovations like Khan Academy that have found more balanced approaches along the continuum, better stimulating learning. The conclusion advocates balancing the dimensions to continually shift closer to approaches where students learn best.

- 12. purpose context formality content process
- 13. purpose context nonformality content process
- 14. purpose context informality content process
- 15. so what?
- 16. an example of innovation in formal education: Khan Academy
- 17. purpose context Khan Academy content process
- 18. an example of innovation in non- formal education: Human Library
- 19. purpose context Human Library content process
- 20. reality - constantly shifting
- 21. purpose context a typical seminar content process
