Online learning

I didn’t know the difference between online learning and online education till I heard from Seth Godin at North Star Podcast today. Yes, Online learning is designed by you, and you choose what you want to learn. On the other side, online education is provided by institutions. It uses “online” materials as a medium to share its contents.

Or another way to say this is: dumping the knowledge to students and hoping they will learn something. Pretty much that education is designed for giving certification/diploma. Their KPIs are not who understood how much.
