I think this is an interesting paper, and it certainly brings together a great deal of research relevant to learning theory, but they have approached the subject strictly from the perspective of current educational systems. We are told that in a formal setting, for example, "individual face-to-face tutoring is the most effective form of instruction." I have no doubt, but is instruction what we ought to be doing? Have we construed the standards of 'effectiveness' properly?
