Lanny on Learning

Musings from Lanny Arvan on learning -
pedagogy, the economics of, technical issues, tie-ins with other stuff, the entire grab bag.

I liked this one (found here).

Technology is dominated by two types of people: those who understand what they do not manage, and those who manage what they do not understand.

I've been on both sides of that fence.

Lanny Arvan: Lanny retired from the University of Illinois in August 2010. Before that he was an Associate Professor of Economics and Associate Dean for eLearning in the College of Business. (Department of Economics Lanny Arvan page - archive) Lanny was also quite active in the Higher Education community for Information Technology. (Educause Lanny Arvan page) Since retirement, Lanny has taught one course per year offered in the fall on The Economics of Organizations and he has mentored a handful of students each year as well. He did that until Covid. He hasn't taught since. Lanny maintains a blog called Lanny On Learning with a focus on undergraduate education, but there are also posts on economics, national politics, books he's read, movies he's seen, and anything else that catches his fancy.
