When the Classroom is No Longer a Room

Chapter 6 in The Future of Learning, 2011, pp 53-71 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Education, by its very nature, has always existed. We have all learned from our parents, our elders and our communities. Formal education was well established 3,000 years ago in ancient Greece (Cubberley, 2004) and China (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2009a); and the Bible encouraged education around 1500BC (The Bible, Bible Researcher, 2009). The three paradigms that have dominated education systems for all age groups since then are those of expert as teacher; the one teaching the many (Woodill, 2009); and the classroom being the main location of that teaching.
