dc.description.abstract	Teaching, especially through distance education, tends to be content-centred, rigid and lecture-driven. However, in my new book Learning to be a person in society I explore many different aspects of the person – all of which are affected by any learning incident. In this sense learning (changing) is a very complex process but a great deal of teaching treats learning in a reductionist manner, for example we teach a piece of knowledge or a skill – but we do not, we teach people! In this paper we explore this idea and in so doing acknowledge a more complex way of understanding the teaching and learning process through distance education.	en
