I would argue that the vision of sociallearn isn't 'make the system adapt to the learner' it's more like 'enhance all your learning.' I believe in it being free for the learner, like Stephen, but I accept that given our current society, someone has to pay somewhere if we want education to survive. Quite who,and how this is done is the big question! Martin Hi Gary, yes you’re quite right, we shouldn’t take the discussion offline.
