ABSTRACT
This chapter describes a simple theme: in universities, and in digital education, education is more important than learning. The difference between education and learning is between being shaped as a thinker, and knowing more things. Many important questions can be asked about education: how it is best practiced, what constitutes effective teaching, how learning can be measured. More contemporary debates relate to the extent education should advance creativity over facts and transferable skills over discipline-based knowledge. A university, then, is most properly a system of interrelated academic and administrative activity with the main objective of providing quality education, supported by or alongside research, in compliance with the standards of regulating agencies. There are many learning theories and luminaries of educational thought, and choosing a favourite is always grounds for contention. University education, then, can be confidently defined as being concerned with transformative learning rather than solely informative learning.
