Interview with Martin Dougiamas
The original designer of Moodle. He's a genius.
Quoting:"When designing Moodle, I wanted a set of values that could act as a compass:
- everyone should be a teacher as well as a learner
- if you understand the context of a person, you are able to teach them better.
- a learning environment should be flexible; as you learn more about the people in it, you're able to change it
- learn by doing and constructing and learn by engagement
