  • The challenge (and the right question) then becomes "what does it mean to teach in this environment?" And before that, "what does it mean to learn here?" What can be learned? How does learning happen? What happens to learning when it becomes more social, when we can more easily make connections between course content, personal interests and interests shared with others? In the conventional classroom, everyone has to learn the same content in the same way at the same time. That is, everyone sits and listens to the same lecture. Of course, it could have been a different lecture and with a different professor it would have been. The same course, with the same goals and the same general content, but a different experience because each professor has her own take, her own perspective. The traditional asynch class just intensifies that experience. But there's no reason now why we can't radically multiply it, so that students can form affinity groups in relation to the content and take it up in different ways: the same goals and the same general content, but now the students have some stake in the approach to the material.
