#3 - Curt Bonk on Changing Lives Through Self-Directed Online Learning
The Learning + Performance Podcast
Awareness Breeds Change
The process of adopting new educational methods begins with awareness, followed by resistance. Many educators, including those in biology or law, initially dismiss the impact of online learning, believing it won't affect their established practices. This mentality is not isolated; it spans across countries, with educators from Australia to the UK asserting that collaboration and sharing are not part of their culture. However, this resistance is a natural reaction that precedes a deeper understanding of the possibilities and benefits that new approaches can offer. Ultimately, overcoming resistance leads to a recognition of the ease and advantages of new methods, encouraging transformation within educational environments.
