This article proposes an evolution in teaching and learning that will facilitate the needs of the 21st century learner. Successful examples are highlighted to introduce the various pieces needed to create the picture of a new learningscape, a hybrid model of learning. First, the atlier form of learning, modeled after the architecture studio is described where student work is public within the studio and is critiqued by fellow students and directed by the instructor or master architect. He then describes an apprenticeship model in which students "learn to be" and practice productive inquiry in which they actively seek what they need in order to do what they want to do. Next, Seely-Brown explored the use of backchanneling, and bringing it to the forefront, which transforms a class into a collaborative team. Finally he describes the passion based learning exhibited by the "pro-amatuer". These are niche communities forming on the web, sharing ideas and information. The example provided was amateur astronomers who share tips, post images, and interact with each other and with professionals in the field. Seely-Brown combines these various thoughts, into what he calls the Grand Transition in our educational approach from supply-push mode to demand-pull mode. The hybrid model of learning is a culture of peer-based learning and building in which students participate in passion-based niche communities of co-creation complemented by a core curriculum.
