Retail Learning

Tony Hirst, OUseful Info, Oct 20, 2009

"So it seems," writes Tony Hirst, "that Lord Mandelson 'says he expects students to adopt a more consumer-led approach to their university education' (Mandelson backs consumer students). So as well as students championing their (consumer) rights, I guess that means the marketing folk will also get the opportunity to hatch all sorts of new marketing plans…" Meanwhile, Mark Oehlert is saying the term "Learning 2.0" is "torquing" him off because it "puts all the burden of change on the learner. If they are all 2.0 and changed then clearly we (The Organizations) don't need to do anything on our end." Which is not true at all, but if that's how he wants to think of it... Finally, John Connell reports on an even more extreme opposition to learning 2.0 and related ideas.
