Abstract:
It is important to recognize that the context for learning in our society is undergoing profound change, from a focus on teaching to a focus on learning. As with all technological change people are spread across a predictable range of relative satisfaction with the present situation (Rogers,1995). There are those who argue that change is unnecessary because we have the best educational system in the world, and those who argue that "School's Out"--that the entire American system of education is more than inefficient. It is "irrelevant", and should be replaced by some technologically mediated system of just-in-time "Hyperlearning" (Perelman,1992). I believe the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
