A nice application by Seb Fiedler of Philip Candy's 1991 Self-direction for lifelong learning to some of the confusion surrounding self-directed learning on the web. Fiedler draws on Candy's notion of "ownership" where in some cases of self-directed learning the influence of the professor may linger, while in others it is absent. "The "ghost" of the instructor lingers on, subtly influencing the learner's choices, and even the criteria used to make those choices... in the final analysis, independent study is still a technique of instruction."
