Some quotes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

From Learning Information to Learning to Learn: <\/strong>
\nThe system must place greater emphasis on the learning of skills over the learning of content.<\/p>\n

From Data to Discovery:<\/strong>
\nContent will have to evolve constantly, not only to remain relevant but so students are ready to deal with how rapidly information changes in a knowledge-based society.<\/p>\n

From One Size Fits All to Tailored Learning:<\/strong>
\nAs students progress they will increasingly access and engage with their own content, at their own pace of learning and take an increasing role in charting a path best suited to those talents, interests and abilities.<\/p>\n

From Testing to Assess to Assessing to Learn:<\/strong>
\nTechnology allows educators and students to assess progress more regularly than with traditional classroom assessments and to identify and address each student\u2019s challenges as they arise. This is in contrast to tests and exams that measure what a student learned at the end of an instructional unit by which time it is often too late to address shortcomings.<\/p>\n

From Classroom Learning to Lifelong Learning:
\n<\/strong> Lifelong learning can be encouraged by incorporating aspects of a student\u2019s life outside of school into their education.<\/p>\n

How would the system function?<\/strong><\/p>\n
