//Learner-centered, lifelong learning has been the cry of knowledge society visionaries for the last decade. Yet learning continues to be delivered with teacher-centric tools in a twelve week format. Society is changing. Learners needs are changing. The course, as a model for learning, is being challenged by communities and networks, which are better able to attend to the varied characteristics of the learning process by using multiple approaches, orchestrated within a learning ecology.//<span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102)"> George Siemens

//When we design curriculum that is build around inquiry-driven, project-based learning, where students and teachers work together to create new meaning and deep understandings, then we can use 21st Century tools to allow students to create meaningful, creative and authentic work, using the best available research, while collaborating with and presenting to people from all over the world.// <span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102)"> Chris Lehmann

[|Passion (emotion)], feeling very strongly about a subject or person, usually referring to feelings of intense desire and attraction.
===**[|Inquiry-based learning]** describes a range of philosophical, curricular and pedagogical approaches to teaching. Its core premises include the requirement that learning should be based around student questions. Teachers are viewed as facilitators of learning rather than vessels of knowledge. The teachers job in an inquiry learning environment is therefore not to provide knowledge, but instead to help students along the process of discovering knowledge themselves.=== ===**[|Project based learning]**, or PBL, is a constructivist pedagogy that intends to bring about deep learning by allowing learners to use an inquiry based approach to engage with issues and questions that are rich, real and relevant to their lives. This strategy is well served since the onset of the read/write Web. Teachers have ready made content easily available via the Web and the tools to allow for creative student directed creation of content related to the problems and questions contained in the project being studied.=== ===**[| Techno-constructivist] are** teachers who integrate technology into the curriculum so that it not only complements instruction but redefines it.=== ===[|Autodidacticism] (also **autodidactism**) is self-education or [|self-directed learning.] An **autodidact**, also known as an **automath**, is a mostly self-taught person, as opposed to learning in a school setting.=== ===**School 2.0** goes beyond the practical discussion of applying the read/write and collaborative Web technologies in the classroom. It is, instead, a larger discussions of how education, learning, and our physical school spaces can (or should) change because of the changing nature of our social and economic lives brought on by these technologies.\===
