Gerrit, ah, interesting. I think we can go wrong with ‘learner-centered’. It could be doing things like ‘learning styles’ or other techniques that try to cater to the learner. We (should) know that the best adaptation is to the learning outcome. So by focusing on ‘learning’ rather than ‘learner’, I believe we will have the best impact. (And, I think, by doing the best job of the learning, we indirectly are also doing the best thing for the learner.) Thanks for asking!

Why do you like learning centred more than learner centred? It’s a conversation we’ve been having, and I’m not really committed either way yet – would like to hear your thinking.
