When thinking about learning content, think about this "about Gil Elbaz, the founder of Factual, and his goal of identifying and cataloging every fact in the world." How much data is that? 800,000 restaurants, half a billion web pages, 1.8 million American health care professionals, 14,000 wine grape varietals - and so much more. And changing every day. Rob Reynolds asks, "How can our "static" learning materials compete with that type of dynamic information on a big data scale? Even more important, how can we possibly equate learning with information absorption in a world where information, by definition, is more than we could ever master?" Content has to change, from something we learn, to something we use. See also Audrey Wattres, The Ed-Tech MacGuffin (and my reply, in the comments).
