“Excellent! :) Recording of a British academic, captured in Hasselt, Belgium and listened to in Oklahoma. I love the internet! I was really please Guy agreed to do this. He's been a tutor on a couple of modules on a course I'm doing and he has a very interesting take on the purpose(s) of education and learning. Feel a bit guilty as I sprang the last question on him at the last minute but he didn't seem to mind. I agree with you that there should be many approaches. Politically in the UK at the moment there are a few powerful people with a very singular view of what education should be and it seems to reflect the education they had 30 years ago. I think they view a pluralistic approach as synonymous with unacceptable risk and relinquishing control. As far as Guy's view goes, I think I see it as a container for a range of educational experiences and approaches. I quite like his idea that we are all apprentices in some things and that this process starts when we are very young. My daughter is 6 and already calls herself as a scientist, not just someone who learns about science.”

wfryer I really enjoyed listening to this from here in Oklahoma City, USA. :-) I agree with Guy that we need more people creatively thinking outside the box about what this new, blended educational experience can and should look like. I am wondering if that vision will be the same for all learners, however? I think one of the traps we tend to get into with education and "school" is thinking in monolithic terms. I think we probably need to be visualizing multiple models and possibilities, because 1 size has never "fitted all" and shouldn't in the future.
