Theories of Learning and Their Implications for On-Line Assesment - Anthony Francis UNDERHILL, TOJDE
Most educational establishments, but particularly Universities are based upon disciplines and much of their practices and culture is bound up with perpetuating and promoting the inherited and transmitted wisdom that makes up the discipline base.
