- First of all, I would characterize formal learning, in the pre-digital/industrial time as:
  
  listening,
  watching,
  remembering
- In the digital age, where information is abundant (overwhelming) and the future is always a BIG question, I think that learning expands out of listening, watching, and remembering to include:
  
  questioning your learning experience,
  engaging your information environment,
  proving (and disproving) what you find,
  Constructing (inventing) new learning and knowledge [added later]
  teaching others what you have learned
  being respected for the power of your learning, and
  being responsible for your learning and its outcomes [added later]
  
  [All were reworded 25 aug 2009 mostly as result of comments]
Ritualization of Progress « Deschooling society

finances education on 2009-09-02
- The university graduate has been schooled for selective service among the rich of the world. Whatever his or her claims of solidarity with the Third World, each American college graduate has had an education costing an amount five times greater than the median life income of half of humanity.
- The school system today performs the threefold function common to powerful churches throughout history. It is simultaneously the repository of society’s myth, the institutionalization of that myth’s contradictions, and the locus of the ritual which reproduces and veils the disparities between myth and reality.

- - The American university has become the final stage of the most all encompassing initiation rite the world has ever known. No society in history has been able to survive without ritual or myth, but ours is the first which has needed such a dull, protracted, destructive, and expensive initiation into its myth. The contemporary world civilization is also the first one which has found it necessary to rationalize its fundamental initiation ritual in the name of education. We cannot begin a reform of education unless we first understand that neither individual learning nor social equality can be enhanced by the ritual of schooling. We cannot go beyond the consumer society unless we first understand that obligatory public schools inevitably reproduce such a society, no matter what is taught in them.
  - School initiates, too, the Myth of Unending Consumption. This modern myth is grounded in the belief that process inevitably produces something of value and, therefore, production necessarily produces demand. School teaches us that instruction produces learning. The existence of schools produces the demand for schooling. Once we have learned to need school, all our activities tend to take the shape of client relationships to other specialized institutions. Once the self-taught man or woman has been discredited, all nonprofessional activity is rendered suspect. In school we are taught that valuable learning is the result of attendance; that the value of learning increases with the amount of input; and, finally, that this value can be measured and documented by grades and certificates.
  - In fact, learning is the human activity which least needs manipulation by others. Most learning is not the result of instruction. It is rather the result of unhampered participation in a meaningful setting. Most people learn best by being “with it,” yet school makes them identify their personal, cognitive growth with elaborate planning and manipulation.
  - This transfer of responsibility from self to institution guarantees social regression, especially once it has been accepted as an obligation. So rebels against Alma Mater often “make it” into her faculty instead of growing into the courage to infect others with their personal teaching and to assume responsibility for the results. This suggests the possibility of a new Oedipus story-Oedipus the Teacher, who “makes” his mother in order to engender children with her. The man addicted to being taught seeks his security in compulsive teaching. The woman who experiences her knowledge as the result of a process wants to reproduce it in others.

- The results of the binary and ordinal logistic regression analyses suggest that social presence is a significant predictor of course retention and final grade in the community college online environment. Two effective interventions are recommended: establishing integrated social and learning communities; and building effective blended learning programs

- Online learning takes more than a webcam in the classroom
- Two-thirds of colleges and universities in the United States now have online courses. Yet most professors write their lectures and discussions as if for a live class, upload lecture notes or video to the Internet and call it a day. Because we want to reproduce on the Web what happens in the classroom.

- - Educators must consider carefully what business we're in. We're not in the classroom business. Neither are we in the technology business. Technology has value only if it increases our ability to teach the knowledge and problem-solving skills that we need to teach. My graduate students want to be political organizers and advocates; they'll need skills mobilizing constituencies with Web 3.0 tools and mobile technology. But they also need face-to-face relationship-building skills. Sometimes classrooms and chalk serve best.
  - We need new, hybrid professionals. We need technologists who are trained educators, and educators who can wrap technology around their learning objectives.
  - We must transform our internal academic processes, which, like those of the print media, remain dependent on outdated decision-making standards and cycles. The course development process, for example, requires a sample bibliography comprising printed, peer-reviewed monographs.
  - College administrators and well-intentioned policy makers must abandon their sense that the Internet will save them money. Gov. Tim Pawlenty has said that he wants 25 percent of public college coursework online by 2015. He also has a habit of blocking state revenue increases. We can't have it both ways. Simplicity is expensive.
