content will stay center until academic models change

Current curricula are built around content especially at the GER level-- English Lit is about reading from Beowulf to Virginia Woolf; intro psych, history, and so on all focus on relatively fixed content still. it's why those courses use textbooks.

advanced and graduate work is more fluid.

When GER shifts to a more conversational and connected model, then you'll shift in role of content in those courses. But academic disciplines are inherently conservative and slow to change.

 Do you find this valuable?
