It essentially explains that it is all about students being held accountable for their own learning. We as teachers are here to support the students, however we can only lead them to the water, we can't make them drink it! This is even more pervasive in an online learning environment. Since students are a part of an online environment but are still in their own everyday home environments as well, they are responsible for being active and essentially a 'boss' of their own learning by sharing ideas, collaborating together their peers, writing and reflecting etc.
