Figure 11, displaying the Learning Quadrants, illustrates two important concepts in adult learning—the chosen means of learning (either people or print) intersecting with funds of knowledge or the seat of authority. Do the learners trust print and formal credentials or do they rely on trusted relationships? The resulting quadrants display various lifeworlds, diverse ways of connecting, from primary orality to secondary orality, to academia, to scribal cultures that do not necessarily read but have reverence for sacred texts.
good summary of the significance of Fig. 11 and the ways connection is made depending on the culture.
