Student-Centered Learning: Target or Locus for Universities?

“People complain that kids come out of college and don’t have the right background, and I say they haven’t really been challenged. A lot of education today takes a kid who’s 18, 19 years old and asks them to focus on something really boring. [They’re] not treated as the responsible young adults that they are. So they stay as kids and fulfill our expectations.” (ComputerWorld, Aug 9, 2010, p. 10).
