Jason, look for educational
technology, e.g. simulations, which are cheap and self-paced to more and more
displace teachers, professors. Digital technology has the capacity now to
"automate" learning and relegate teachers to the role of facilitators
more and more. Teaching is what somebody does to us. Learning is what we do for
ourselves; what we do for ourselves in the final analysis has more lasting
impact. Call it discovery learning if you need a theory, name for it. The
teacher unions here in Wisconsin are already worrying about this looming trend;
higher education will also embrace the trend. We are in short looking at
"teacherless" education, one of the core workshops at the 2012 World
Future Society in Toronto, which your humble servant here had the good fortune
to attend. 2013 is in Chicago! Closer.
