Abstract
Learning is fundamental to our existence. Learning helps to explain the very essence of each individual on this planet – past or present – no matter the race, religion, gender, color, genetic makeup, culture, or country of origin. The ability to learn is the single most important biological feature that explains how and why H. sapiens evolved over two million years and, then, came to dominate planet earth. Learning is fundamental to every person’s existence every single day, day in, day out, from birth to death. Educators have only recently begun to utilize and apply what science knows about the brain to what we know about using the brain as an instrument of learning. Significantly, the rise of the internet has challenged the supremacy of brick and mortar institutions as the primary purveyors of knowledge. Ubiquitous learning within a transnational learning system is emerging.
