More on Computerized Learning

A good follow-up to my review of Disrupting Class by Clayton Christensen, Curtis W. Johnson and Michael B. Horn. This book was about our education system but, I think, holds lessons for business as well.

Jay Cross’ thoughtful examination here is based on his many years of experience with e-learning in corporations. He defines the critical difference being push vs. pull learning. Pull learning involves and active learner on a journey of conversation and discovery. Great guidelines for those looking to use computers to improve learning (not just automate it).
