Learnification

Philip Kerr, Worldview V, Aug 04, 2014

Good paper that I wish were longer. The last few paragraphs are especially abbreviated. Philip Kerr first addresses the rise of the terms 'learner' and 'learning' in education, these reflecting an increased focus on the role of the learner and an emphasis on process. But correspondingly, there has been a focus on outcomes, especially in commercial learning, and the rise in technology in learning. These suggest that satisfactory outcomes can be achieved merely my the application of the correct learning theory. This, Kerr suggests, is incorrect.
