For many years, learning was focussed on an industrial model of education whereby we sit students down in desks and instill book knowledge into their heads through didactic methods like lecturing. In this paradigm, students are challenged to memorize these facts and demonstrate their mastery through tests. How we educate our children is slowly shifting in the 21st century to a model whereby learning is cradled in a more conceptual model.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
