Six surprising lessons for adult professionals from the era of online learning.
Virtual schools continued to under-perform academically, including in comparison to blended schools. Overall, 36.4 percent of full-time virtual schools and 43.1 percent of blended schools received …
Global connectivity, smart machines, and new media are just some of the drivers reshaping how we think about work, what constitutes work, and how we learn and develop the skills to work in the future. The concept of a “100 year life” becoming the norm, and the majority of that spent studying and working, means …
Finland is home to some of the world’s most forward-looking innovations in education – school autonomy instead of school rankings, portfolios instead of exam grades, inquiry-based learning instead of memorization, real world context topics instead of traditional subjects. eGov Innovation speaks with Pasi Silander, Digitalization Lead of City of Helsinki, Finland, who currently leads the digitalization strategy process of the Helsinki school district and the Stadi eCampus.
We are facing unprecedented ch allenges – social, economic and environmental – driven by accelerating globalisation and a faster rate of technological developments. At the same time, those forces are providing us with myriad new opportunities for human advancement. The future is uncerta in and we cannot predict it; but we need to be open and ready for it . The children entering education in 2018 will be young adults in 2030. Schools can prepare them for jobs that have not yet been created, for technologies that have not yet been invented, to solve problems that have not yet been anticipated . It will be a shared responsibility to seiz e opportunities and find solutions . To navigate through such uncertainty, students will need to develop curiosity, imagination , resilience and self - regulation ; they will need to respect and appreciate the ideas, perspectives and values of others ; and they will need to cope with failure and rejection, and to move forward in the face of adversity . The ir motivation will be more than getting a good job and a high income ; they will also need to care about the well -being of their friends and families, their communities and the planet. Education can equip learners with agency and a sense of purpose , and the competencies they need , to shape their own lives and contribu te to the lives of others . To find out how best to do so, the Organisation for Economic Co -operation and Development (OECD) has launched T he Future of Education and Skills 2030 project . The aim of the project is to help countries find answers to two far -reaching question s: ● What knowledge, skills, attitudes and values w ill today's students need to thrive and shape the ir world? ● How can instructional systems develop these knowledge, skills, attitudes and values effectively? This position paper describes the first results from this work . The initial framework was reviewed, tested and validated in an iterative process involving a range of stakeholders from around the world. They ensured that the framework is relevant across the globe, consistent with wider policies and can be implemented . We will finalise the framework by the end of 2018. In 2019, we will change gear s and begin to explore the translation of the framework into pedagogy , assessment and the design of an instructional sys tem . Working with policy makers , academic experts, school networks, teachers, education leaders, students and social partners, the framework provides a space in which to exchange ideas, compare proven and promising practices , discover cutting - edge research and contribute to a new ecosystem of learning .

Reflection is so important for continued learning and growth. I developed the list below as a tool for educators to reflect on practices that help prepare students for a rapidly changing, complex world. Some of these practices are new. Some are not. Some of them involve technology. Some do not.
With the rise of online learning in schools—what educators call "blended learning"—what teachers do daily is changing in big and small ways. Today’s traditional teaching role asks a lot of teachers. In the future, though, we can create more sustainable teaching jobs that also better serve students.
As we embrace tech futures, teaching and learning in our education system must also keep up to date with demands of the 21st century and beyond.
Scene 1: The past Students learned from the teacher. Facts were learned from text books. Learning took place in the classroom. Teachers asked questions and students answered them. Information about far away places was found in books. Scene 2: The present Students learn from the teacher, each other, the internet, books, movies, people inside the…

What is “school” in the future? We gaze forward to 2025 and imagine Mariam, aged 10, in West Africa. Her school is a visor and a touch-response glove that let her enter virtual worlds to play and learn her way. For Aarav, age 15, in South Asia, school is a training center built by employers where he prepares for work. For Luiza, age 9, in Amazonia, school is a classroom occupied with rigorous core learning under a new international millennium goal for basic literacy and numeracy.
KnowledgeWorks explores future trends in education with comprehensive 10-year forecasts, as well as deep dives into specific issues affecting the future of learning, since the ways we work, teach, live and learn are changing almost as quickly as the technologies we rely on to make all of these activities possible.
