[Air-L] Your Opinion

[jeremy hunsinger]

this worries me.... what if there really is no 'single student', but  
individualism is just an ideology and really we work best in small  
groups without that individuality that allows us to construct the  
'single student'.   there has been a significant amount of research  
and writing on the problems surrounding the construction of the  
individual subject in modern society, and a good bit about tribes,  
groupuscules, and related matters also, but overall i see there are  
some possible benefits toward pushing against the model of the 'single  
student'  as the target of our learning systems.
