In The Learning Paradigm College, John Tagg builds on the Change magazine article he coauthored with Robert Barr in 1995, "From Teaching to Learning: A New Paradigm for Undergraduate Education." This groundbreaking book describes the paradigm shift that is taking hold in American higher education- one in which the new mission of the institution is to produce learning, not simply to provide instruction. This book offers a new lens through which readers can see their own institutions and their own work. A radically fresh perspective examines existing functional frameworks and offers a way to reenvision and recast many familiar aspects of college work and college life. Eminently clear, accessible descriptions of the features of the Learning Paradigm are paired with actual and uplifting examples of how institutions of higher education around the country are transforming themselves into Learning Paradigm colleges. The Learning Paradigm College is vital, optimistic, and realistic about what all those involved in higher education can achieve.Tagg, John is the author of 'Learning Paradigm College', published 2003 under ISBN 9781882982585 and ISBN 1882982584.
