 Architect
for Learning by Philip J. Palin,
Kari Sandhaas
This is a book about the future of education. If you
are an educator who uses the Internet, "Architect for
Learning" will remind you of what you already know and suggest how
to adapt it to the potential of the network. If you are a New Media
professional, this book will outline how design skills and technical
knowledge can be used to propel a passion for learning. Principles and
practical examples demonstrate how classical philosophy and electronic
gaming are allies in developing compelling environments in which each
learner can discover purpose and meaning.
Beginning with a philosophy of education, then
scanning cognitive theories and psychology, "Architect for
Learning" points the way to how the network can be a powerful tool
for individualizing education. An accompanying multimedia CD-ROM
provides a helpful overview and examples of key concepts which are more
deeply engaged throughout the book.
Whether the educational potential of the network is
achieved or not will depend largely on a genesis generation of network
based learning architects. This new profession is emerging spontaneously
in response to opportunity and demand. This book is a primer on how the
lessons of a few millenia of human experience might best be applied to a
new millenia of learning.

Excerpt from "Knowledge and Violence":
Knowledge is inseparable from processes of its
production, re-production, representation, distribution, reception and
realization. At the same time, it also should not be disconnected from the
question of the legitimization of its truth-value.
The control of knowledge, of its legitimization, its
representation, and its distribution determines the constitution of
normalizing education. The inner goal of any education is normalization of
the subject in the service of re-producing the hegemonic social-cultural
order and its realm of self-evidence. Within this setting the
legitimization of knowledge as well as the marginalization of knowledge of
the Other and her legitimization apparatuses is a precondition for social
control, economic productivity, and well-protected cultural borders.
Traditionally the protection of these borders was entrusted to educators,
teachers, intellectuals and administrators, who were expected to demarcate
and preserve culture from nature, true from false, moral from immoral,
nice from nasty, and good from evil...

The Center for Dewey Studies at Southern Illinois University
at Carbondale was established in 1961 as the "Dewey Project." In the course of
collecting and editing Dewey's works, the Center amassed a wealth of source materials for
the study of America's quintessential philosopher-educator, John Dewey. By virtue of its
publications and research, the Center has become the international focal point for
research on Dewey's life and work. Its location at the University makes it possible for
visitors to take advantage of the resources and professional expertise of the faculty and
staff of the Department of Philosophy, the College of Education, Special Collections in
Morris Library, and the Southern Illinois University Press.
