I didn't particularly enjoy this paper - it was hard to follow, didn't really advance anything new, and where it did seem to be new and clear, seemed wrong. But it's being discussed by the IT Forum right now (and generated some dicussion last month on another forum) so I'm passing it along. It also gives me the opportunity to say that knowledge isn't something that's built or constructed or assembled or transferred (or anything else that resembles a house or a factory). Knowledge is derived from perceptual experience only, and education is the process of instigating perceptual experiences similar to those people who know have already had. To teach is not to do something to or for a person; it is a process of getting them to act, and thereby experience, and thereby come to know.
