The Ready Player One Test: Systems for Personalized Learning — from gettingsmart.com by Dagan Bernstein
Key Points
- The single narrative education system is no longer working.
- Its main limitation is its inability to honor young people as the dynamic individuals that they are.
- New models of teaching and learning need to be designed to center on the student, not the teacher.
When the opportunity arises to implement learning that uses immersive technology ask yourself if the learning you are designing passes the Ready Player One Test:
- Does it allow learners to immerse themselves in environments that would be too expensive or dangerous to experience otherwise?
- Can the learning be personalized by the student?
- Is it regenerative?
- Does it allow for learning to happen non-linearly, at any time and place?
