From Knowledge to Communication
Books Are No Longer Merely Sources of Knowledge
The book can become a Channel of Communication.
Books Are No Longer Merely Sources of Knowledge
The book can become a Channel of Communication.
For centuries, books have been one of humanity's most important ways of preserving and delivering knowledge.
From a Source of Knowledge to a Starting Point. For centuries, books preserved, organized, and delivered knowledge. The relationship was primarily one-way: Education Supplier → Book → Education Consumer. Today, knowledge can be accessed almost anywhere. The book therefore needs another role. It can become the place where a new question begins.
- Knowledge
- Book
- Reader
Education Cannot Change Without Communication
Technology alone does not make education consumer-centered. No matter how much information is available, an educational supplier cannot provide what an individual learner needs without understanding that learner.
The education consumer must be able to express: What am I curious about? What do I want to know? What don't I understand? What would I like to explore further?
From One-Way Delivery to Two-Way Communication
Why Natural Language Matters
Numbers, symbols, and equations are essential to mathematics. But human beings naturally communicate by speaking, asking, explaining, describing, and responding.
We explain. We describe. We tell stories. We ask questions. Natural language creates a bridge between mathematics and communication.
A child can encounter a mathematical concept within a story about nature.
A scientific phenomenon can create a mathematical question.
A human story can lead to questions about society.
A single sentence can open the door to another field of knowledge.
Books Connect Education Consumers and Education Suppliers
There are countless education consumers, and countless suppliers — teachers, authors, publishers, researchers, creators, and institutions holding valuable knowledge. The challenge is connecting them.
From Knowledge to Communication
The book does not lose its role as a source of knowledge. It gains another role.
The book therefore becomes the beginning of a continuous educational relationship.
Knowledge creates questions. Questions create communication. Communication opens the path to new knowledge.
Books were once primarily sources of knowledge. GOS A LAS is developing them as Channels of Communication.
