Eleven Year Old Doctor Treats First Patient with Game Therapy

Autonomous learning, enhanced by the power of the computer releases students from formal timescales. Qualifications are being achieved more quickly.

If I want to test a hypothesis I don't need to carry out the analysis of the data. I need to design the analysis, let the computer carry it out and then I can interpret the results.

Student
If I've got access to the appropriate resources at my finger tips (i.e. on a screen), I don't waste so much time going to the library.

Parent
An eleven year old doctor's not coming near me. I want a mature adult who understands my concerns.

Teacher
The fact that an 11 year old can learn everything necessary to become a doctor simply exposes the limitations in medical training.

Teacher
There's more to being a doctor than remembering facts; perhaps the 11 year old could spend the next ten years on social skills.

Parent
What happened to childhood and personal growth?

Anon
Autonomous learning is not the same as independent learning; guidance is essential.

You can't get wisdom from a computer.
