"A Whole New Mind" Necessary for Online Course Criticisms

I have been reading Dan Pink's book, "A Whole New Mind: Moving from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age" during the past week, and I am struck by the degree to which Pink's proposed aptitudes for success in today's "conceptual age" matches with my intent in creating the Online Course Criticism Model.

Using the old right brain/left brain dichotomy as a metaphor for two complementary approaches to thinking, Pink makes a business case for developing six aptitudes that will beef up the atrophied "right brains" most of us have so as to better complement our over-developed "left brains."

I'll post some reflections on the individual aptitudes (i.e., design, story, symphony, empathy, play, and meaning) later on. Check out http://danpink.com for more.
