Mark Treadwell
Historically learning was centred on oral language but then the first learning paradigm shift saw the printing press transform the oral centric model of learning to a text centric model.
Now a second paradigm shift in learning sees the text centric model become an Internet based, multimedia - collaborative centric learning model. Our understanding of how the brain actually learns informs us that this paradigm should be based on the learning of conceptual frameworks of understanding.
.
The three mutimedia resources synthesise the educational transitions being made available through the effectiveness and efficiency gains brought about by the global paradigm shift that is currently taking place in learning. For the first time in over 500 years we have the potential to dramatically improve how we can all learn to become lifelong learners by passing on the agency for learning from the teacher to the student.
