Series: The Learner

NEW LEARNING. theLearner publishes cutting edge ideas on teaching and learning—ideas which point to the emerging shape of a new world of learning. These are some of the things of interest and concern for theLearner:

• the blurred institutional boundaries between the family, work and formal education
• early childhood learning, once the domain of the family, and now a site of formal learning
• literacy, literacies, multiliteracies
• learning in and out of school: what children learn at home, from their peers, from the media
• new educational workplaces: self-governing schools, customised curricula, knowledge and teaching markets
• just-in-time and just-enough learning—learning what you need to know when and where you need to know it
• lifelong and lifewide learning
• work integrated learning
• new learning technologies
• global and multicultural education
• new pedagogies that demand as well as grant greater value to the volition and subjectivity of the learner

… and this is only the beginning of the new world of learning unfolding before us, all of which is of critical concern to the authors and readers of theLearner.
