Personalize Learning (#plearnchat)

The Vision

From the executive summary:

"Personalisation, collaboration and informal learning will be at the core of learning in the future. The increased pace of change will bring new skills and competences to the fore, in particular generic, transversal and cross-cutting skills….

With the evolution of ICT, personalised learning and individual mentoring will become a reality and teachers/trainers will need to be trained to exploit the available resources and tools to support tailor-made learning pathways and experiences which are motivating and engaging, but also efficient, relevant and challenging…"

As a provocative speaker on educational futures and innovation, Simon has a refreshing view on personalisation as a way to increase standardised results, and he takes us through some examples and where this trend is heading."
