I don't think that we are going to be complete with any meaningful educational format solution until we can blur the borders of the imposed paradigms and envisage a (w)holistic concept.

I can see benefits within the traditional classroom/lecture hall format, but only as a common venue to adjourn to, for clarification on principles when other mediums don't seem to suffice. Also, to provide that experience of 'community' within a discipline, that on-line 'Hang-outs', try as they might, simply can't provide. The labs associated with Universities also provide the facilities of direct, personal, existential experience that endorses and underpins learned principle that the individual could never hope to afford on their own.

Constructivist and Social Constructivist have valuable contributions to make also within recognition of the requirements of the individual learner requirement, among other aspects, that the physical, traditional classroom format, blanket policies and imposed schedules simply don't cater to.


 Connectivism returns us to our natural state of communication, control and responsibility for the decision process over our own personal existence and our requirement for orientation within the herd context.

Just for some examples.
