We had to develop our capacity for asking awkward questions
AndragogyThe Art & Science of helping people to Learn
Assumes the Student’s ability, need and desire to take control and responsibility of their Learning. Assumes a move to an independent Learning environment with Students building on their experiences. Learning time changes from ‘postponed’ to ‘immediate’ and curricula changes from ‘Subject-Centric’ to ‘Performance-Centric.
PEDAGOGY
PedagogyThe Art & Science of Teaching
Most dominant form of instruction in Western Europe & North America based on the Monastic approaches to Learning. Teacher is in control of the Learning process and puts student in a submissive role within the Learning environment. Equally applied to Children & Adults and based on the assumption that Learner need only know what the Teacher teaches them.

Institutional ImpactIts all about change:
The Learner
What learners want?
I want a LEARNING ENVIRONMENT that provides me with the equivalent tools and services as my social environment. One that:
supports my media-rich creativity and expression,
encourages me to collaborate with others and work as a team,
adapts to my individual learning style and needs,
and that accommodates my mobile lifestyle.
What does great education look like?
Education must be about preparing learners for their future, not our past
