from The Adult Learner
…by and large, the adults we work with
have not learned to be self-directing
inquirers; they have been conditioned to
be dependent on teachers to teach
them. And so they often experience a
form of culture shock when first exposed
to truly adult educational programs.

from The New Social Learning
Social learning is not just about being
social. It’s not just a matter of having the
right tools. It’s about making learning a
priority and using the tools of social media
to facilitate a culture where we get better
at getting better. It’s about being a stronger
contributor and a savvier learner.*
- Tony Bingham and Marcia Conner
