ABSTRACT
When we think about learning, the images that come to mind are usually connected with going to school, attending classes, having a coach, or working through a self-help book or computer program. We often tend to think of learning in terms of acquiring skills and knowledge with help from an instructor. For most people, learning is both an individual and a social process. Individual students see themselves as responsible for learning yet they recognize that other people have an infl uence on what they learn and the quality of the learning experience.
