An interesting question is raised in this post...are we teaching students or learners? David Warlick writes an introduction and then provides a table distinguishing "between these notions of students and learners."
Two examples: When looking at relationships with other "students": Students are competitors and learners are collaborators; when looking at assessment: Students - "measuring what the student has learned" and learners "measuring what the learner can do with what has been learned."
Although this post was published in October 2010 it makes one think about how the words we use impact the expected outcomes.
