Slashdot - students vs lecturers
There's a Slashdot discussion going on about online learning. What I Iike about it is that participants who want lecturers to do more teaching ("they never even graded my assignment!") get to have their say, but many others are also making good points about how it shouldn't all revolve around being taught and evaluated by "the expert". Ditto for collaborative learning - some get to say how they don't see the point of it; others describe how it is part of their daily "real-world" business practice and suggest ways of how to do it more effectively. Check it out.
