I think your emphasis on the community is excellent, and very much in keeping with McLuhan's arguments about the city and world as classroom, and recent ideas about service learning and engaged academics.Lance Stratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13033954765699126246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101859138648955033.post-15582873906041293552011-07-26T09:22:56.920-04:002011-07-26T09:22:56.920-04:00I left the comment from "online education&quo...I left the comment from "online education" up here to show how the practice is associated with shams and questionable practices, using the web to replace the mill in diploma mills. Please don't consider this individual's website a serious alternative. And if anything, the comment shows a lack of thoughtfulness, and a very bland and basic use of language, that does not reflect well on the educational services they claim to offer.Lance Stratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13033954765699126246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101859138648955033.post-34935338416047375522011-07-26T03:36:08.099-04:002011-07-26T03:36:08.099-04:00We need to think more about online education becau...We need to think more about online education because this is not only a good source of getting knowledge and degrees but also a way to save your time.online educationhttp://www.onlineedublog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101859138648955033.post-81489727283201573512011-07-26T01:21:29.713-04:002011-07-26T01:21:29.713-04:00I enjoyed this post a lot.

I just posted in response to some comments at the listserv again and dropped in here. <br /><br />To tag onto my last comment, in your previous post, I think that the key to effective online education is de-institutionalization, but to be clear I think that means de-institutionalizing on behalf of a structure that more suits the community needs of the 21st century context.<br /><br />I suppose, I'm talking about de-institutionalizing and re-institutionalizing. Reform, to me, or tweaking the system by adding online courses, only does so much. The entire school/academic institutional system has evolved to the point where most of its work is based on perpetuating itself rather than serving the needs of learners. That's what happens to institutions typically. <br /><br />Personally, and I could be wrong, I like the Black Mountain College model a lot. I like the idea that the school is a self-contained community of sorts with democratic organizational functions, autonomous learning projects with regular mentoring, and socialization amongst members in the form of performance, discussion, and so on. In a way, I think it reflects some of the things Postman dealt with with Weingartner in The Soft Revolution. <br /><br />It's really a bridge to prior eras of education rather than some bridge forward, yet it serves the future just as well as it did the past (provided it's not a completely closed system).Mike Plughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180838171989998353noreply@blogger.com
