The New Learning Paradigm

What is the purpose of education? In the following video, John Tagg draws a distinction between the espoused theory of education and theory in use (what really happens in education). I have some even stronger views on the subject myself (no surprise there) but this video is a highly enjoyable and intelligible critique of the modern university and, indeed, education generally. The video is also a lovely example of how to make an hour long presentation accessible and entertaining. Try it!!
