Freed from the residential constraint, telematics-based programs can support the “mass-customization” of learning through pick-and-mix learning-on-demand.
Predictor: Hutchison, Chris
Prediction, in context:In a 1995 article, “The ‘ICP OnLine’: Jeux sans frontires on the CyberCampus,” from the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, Chris Hutchison of the School of Information Systems, Kingston University, discusses education online. He lists three parameters “along which successful learning may be measured.” The first of the three is:ÒNegotiated Learning – the extent to which the learner is able to customize his/her personal learning regime to perceived and agreed training needs. Residential college and university courses, under the constraint of needing to address mass audiences, mirror the mass-production-mode characteristic of the first industrial age and may consequently fail the individual learner; freed from the residential constraint, telematics-based programs can support the ‘mass-customization’ of learning through pick-and-mix learning-on-demand.Ó
