What Is Learning?
“I try to distinguish between contexts of productive and unproductive learning. And by productive, I mean that the learning process is one that engenders and reinforces wanting to learn more. Absent wanting to learn, the learning context is unproductive or counterproductive.”
“Information will be learned slowly and doomed to rapid forgetting unless they are quickly attached to a framework of knowledge that we already possess.”
How is Learning
Different in 2013?

“When a 14 year old kid can blow up your business in his spare time, not because he hates you but because he loves you, then you got a problem.”

Chris Avenir
Ryerson University sites 3 reasons for the case against him.
1.Learning should be hard.
2.There is no structure of regulation for online behavior and that makes it incompatible with academic work.
3.It is our job to protect academic integrity from any threat.
i.e. Unless learning is hard and is directed by others, it fails to meet the standard for academic rigor.

“We may not be able to measure learning, but we can document it”
“If you say you don’t have time for assessment, you assume that the teaching is more important than the learning. Feedback is the key to reaching goals.

Saying there’s no time is to confuse causing learning for mentioning stuff.” Grant Wiggins
