Hi Fred,

I think you are making an important distinction here. Almost all of the
curriculum change in higher education pedagogy over the past 20 years
has tried to reflect this shift from teaching to learning. The most 
successful changes have involved quite radical transformations that have 
got rid of lectures and replaced them with opportunities for students to 
interact in smaller groups. This is an ideological shift that requires 
continual justification and currently there is a resources squeeze in 
higher education which has seen a re-colonisation of lectures based on 
purely economic measures. Lectures with 800-1000 students are not as 
uncommon as they were. In my experience, the ethical dimensions you 
highlight are too often overlooked.

regards

Peter
