Book Overview
There is a revolution in learning under way, a widespread movement aiming to better deliver opportunity and democracy in higher education-and in turn more efficient access to a satisfying career and fulfillment in life. Peter Smith's Free-Range Learning in the Digital Age is for the millions of people who are being held back by their lack of a university degree, or who may have earned a degree that is not working to help them realize their full potential. Free-Range Learning is a guide to the changing landscape written by one of the nation's leading minds in the area of education. It explains the changing paradigms that have been introduced by new technology providing "out-of-school" education that affords American adults new possibilities in academics and employment. It is also a critique of the norms of higher education by giving credence to the importance of personal and experiential learning. Dr. Smith demands an end to the "knowledge discrimination" practiced by most colleges and universities, which have traditionally ignored nonacademic learning and the digital learning movement.
