Hi George,
This presentation is extremely timely. I took an interactive session today (http://www.slideshare.net/ViplavBaxi/mooc-invent-vs-innovate) on cMOOCs as invention rather than xMOOCs as inside the box thinking.

If I “get” this…”concepts fit into a network of concepts” and learning bits and pieces in isolation does not get us to understanding complex ideas… I agree. But, I would add, we need to stop the either/or thinking in education/learning. It isn’t concepts or ideas, it isn’t online or offline, it isn’t self-directed or scaffolded. Let’s work on both/and or many/and perspecitives on education/learning.

It would be better to teach in a conceptual manner and the Doctor can figure what you are suffering based on the connection of symptoms and signs presented by the patients. Rather than thinking of a problem.Fortunately in Medicine common things occur commonly- but we still have quite an uncommon things
