A Biography of Learning explores the history and effectiveness of learning within formal educational practices and details the impact of current technologies on the teaching and learning experience.

Ron Burnett offers a timely and provocative vision for educational transformation. Drawing on his decades-long career as both an educator and institutional leader, Burnett crafts a compelling narrative that bridges personal experience with forward-thinking educational theory and practice.
This book suggests that transformative learning demands time – far more than our rapid-fire systems allow us. It challenges our obsession with quick inputs and outputs, exposing the deeper, slower rhythms of authentic intellectual growth, and forges powerful connections between physical learning spaces, creative environments, and the frontiers of experimentation where teaching and learning boundaries are dramatically expanded.
A Biography of Learning emerges at a critical juncture, where technological revolution meets institutional evolution. Burnett's approach is refreshingly pragmatic yet boldly visionary, providing roadmaps for tomorrow. For anyone invested in the future of learning – educators, administrators, policymakers, students, and engaged citizens – Burnett's insights provide inspiration for navigating the intersection of tradition and innovation in educational practices.

Ron Burnett is president emeritus at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver and was appointed to the Order of Canada.
