Good post arguing that learning software design is better based on a principle of 'nudge', not management. David Jones writes, "It's my suggestion that almost all of the current institutional attempts to improve learning and teaching suffer the same fundamental flaw. They attempt to herd cats, they focus on what management does, rather than focus on what the teachers and learners do every day and in particular the tremendous problems created by the systems within which they operate." I think the 'NUDGE' acronym is overly cute, but it reflects a good design approach.
