In all the discussions of on-line learning, MOOCs, and the crisis of higher education finances, one tends to lose sight of what it is that we want an education to do and how, as teachers, we can best provide it. Using architecture and construction as an extended metaphor for teaching, I probe the challenges of teaching as a creative and imaginative act rooted in the present but directed to the future. The talk explores both the transformative potential of teaching and suggests a number of concrete ways to create a learner-centered educational environment.
