Student-Centered Learning in the New Millenium
A Participatory PresentationAt Duke University, October 16, 2002

My Major Themes
1/ For the next decade, teaching & learning (as well as tenure & promotion) will be dominated by experiments in pedagogy that are newly enabled by computers.
2/ The individual student will be the apex of all data-collection and the center of all learning strategies.
2
Although the “computer revolution is still in its infancy, already we know that---
1. Hybrid courses are best (Central Florida) 2. Students on more wired campuses benefit from more effective
teaching. (Kuh&Hu)3. Most gains come from better communication. (Wake Forest)4. New learning items are slow in coming, expensive to develop,
& fairly perishable.5. Five learning strategies are suddenly receiving much more
attention.6. Manufacturing & education are newly customized and just-in-time
