Progressive Austerity

Another interesting comment via the fortnightly mailing:

http://fm.schmoller.net/2009/09/progressive-austerity-and-self-organised-learning.html

discussing http://alchemi.co.uk/archives/ide/progressive_aus.html

The headline idea is ‘progressive austerity’ – the idea that a squeeze on funding in ICT might not be a bad thing – favoring the ‘lightweight use of learning tools’

The article includes taxonomies for self-regulated learning.

An interesting thing about the article is that Seb Schmoller draws attention to lack of comment on formative feedback. I am not sure why he thinks this is important in this context and need to re-read and follow some of the links more thoroughly.
