Learning Online Reflection: Learning is Not an Instructional Method. By Beth Knittle, BethKnittle.net An individual’s learning does not take place online, on a computer, in a library, or in a classroom for that matter.
Learning takes place within the learner. The classroom, a learning management system, online resources, books, teachers and other learners are part of the learning environment but are not learning themselves.

Income levels, ethnicities, family structures, first languages, interests, and abilities now vary so much, that a traditional teaching approach, with a uniform lesson targeted to the average-level student, just doesn't cut it.

In writing about mobile for higher education, other than meeting learner administrative and information needs, I obviously focused more on the formal learning roles mobile devices could facilitate.
And one of the things that has been of interest to me is looking differently at pedagogies. Traditional In the traditional view, we activate the learner’s interest, we present them with the concept, we provide examples, we have them practice (with feedback), and we conclude the learning experience.
