Learning is social. Very close to 100%.
That is why the Nuremberg funnel was never really invented. Technology as a teacher substitute has never proven itself in practice (i.e. outside of laboratory environments). There are a few students that are exceptionally driven, but even they learn socially.
That we have tried to get better schools by economy of scale and standardized testing is reason for some of the problems and therefore cannot be solved with more of the same.
* Social learning is more enjoyable and motivating. We learn from people, with people and because of people.
* Interaction with others gives meaning to ideas. Ideas mean little without a social context. This has been proven again and again.
* Discussing ideas increases understanding and retention of those ideas.

- zweifuss 4y agoWe have tried automation. B.F. Skinner (programmed learning) was neither the the first nor the last. More recently researches found that the completion rate of most of the MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) was below 13%. It doesn't work for most students beyond what good teachers are doing already.
