Continuing promotion of his new book, Curt Bonk posts a snippet from his postscript to The World is Open, listing learnewr rights and responsibilities. I know the 'rights and responsibilities' format is popular with some writers, but I don't get where 'responsibilities' come at you out of the ether and attach themselves to you. Responsibilities represent legal obligation, and these can be created only through law or contract. Now I agree, things like 'taking responsibility for our own learning' or 'testing and experimenting with new learning resources' are good things to do, but they are far from responsibilities, and should not be represented in the same breath, and with the same force, as one's rights.
