It's not worth the hassle, I can express ideas sufficiently using other means.

It's a useful alternative to having a bullet points slide.

All these points are valid. The costs continue to rise. When will be realise that an outdated system - set up for the elite is NOT the best way to educate the future generation.

There are so many areas you could focus on so rather than jump around I'll make comments on some of the points Donald raises:

2. Duplication - they rarely if ever share anything, therefore costly to run - Web 2.0 shows what a social animal humans are. People want to share, network and learn from eachother. The system should reflect this. All this ownership and competition must end.

3. One start date per year - crazy - Yes. Formal learning tried to shoehorn the process into neat timeframes. This is just plain wrong. Learning happens all the time.

6. Researchers, on the whole, make lousy teachers - There are some fantastic ones but there is no real training for this! Which is crazy. It's hard to work with educators to incorporate learning technology into the learning design process when there is no learning design in the first place.

7. Outdated 'lecture' is main mode of learning - This is all about setting didactic teaching up as the main teaching method and it's wrong.

8. Hopeless at using technology to learn - Yes, for a variety of reason. One of which is that they choice to be hopeless.

9. Academics not green - flying everywhere to deliver dull lectures - There are other ways to deliver content now.
