Open learning ecosystems

“The school is not and cannot be . . . the exclusive provider in a community’s educational system. . . . There is not one d a na y m n nagency, but an ecology of institutions educating — school home places of educating — school, home, places of worship, television, press, museums, libraries, b i f t i d ”businesses, factories, and more.” —
