Some may venture slowly inside the world or take "baby steps" as actor Bill Murray did when opening the role of Bob 'Bobby' Wiley, a highly manipulative obsessive-compulsive man, in the 1991 hit movie, What about Bob?. His psychiatrist, Dr. Leo Marvin, better known as actor Richard Dreyfus, got him on the open world to taking baby steps. While most of us are not as panicky or open as Bob, we nonetheless have all had our moments of being overwhelmed with information. The Open World of Learning is extremely daunting yet enticing. For many, thoughtful integration of the Open World of Learning requires incremental change and constant reflective practices, which perhaps may lead to less opposition and reluctance. For all the problems that batter at us day and night-from severe economic problems to global warming to overpopulation to water pollution to famine and to war-learning and education are perhaps surprisingly the one area in which there is extensive optimism and hope. The World Is Open is the best of the e-Learning books. In most cases, these calls for change were not just for a simple changing of the guard from one president or administration to another, but for deep and lasting transformative change in how political campaigns are run, the issues that are addressed, and the requirements for an effective and respected leader of a country. |
