from The Adult Learner
…by and large, the adults we work with have not learned to be self-directing inquirers; they have been conditioned to be dependent on teachers to teach them. And so they often experience a form of culture shock when first exposed to truly adult educational programs.

from The New Social Learning
Social learning is not just about being social. It’s not just a matter of having the right tools. It’s about making learning a priority and using the tools of social media to facilitate a culture where we get better at getting better. It’s about being a stronger contributor and a savvier learner.* - Tony Bingham and Marcia Conner *emphasis added
