"Academia is to knowledge what prostitution is to love; close enough on the surface but, to the nonsucker, not exactly the same thing." Nassim Nicholas Taleb

If you care about education and learning don't miss listening to Gardner Campbell!

As described on the #edcmooc resource page:

"(This lecture)...serves as a warning that what we really want - our utopia - is not necessarily to be found in the structures we are putting in place (or finding ourselves within)."

Love it.

My formal courses taught me how to make exactly the rigid Procrustean syllabus and rubric and values chart shown at 16 minutes. MOOCs by George Siemens, Stephen Downes, Dave Cormier, Carol Yeager, Alec Couros, and Jim Groom taught me a way of escape.

Hello guys, is there any opportunity to make subtitles for this video? We're translating into russian because many people interested in stuff like this. It would be very great.

I suspect Dr. Campbell gained credibility, professional success, and this platform by conforming exactly to the academic rules and rubrics he mocks. Those of us who began thinking critically about academia for most of our lives are not tenured professors nor directors of university programs.
