The key aim is to develop engaging scenarios for learning in the future classroom that can be validated in a large-scale pilot and be subsequently taken to scale.
This will be achieved through an increased understanding of the ways in which new and emerging technologies can support more effective forms of learner engagement.
A number of previous scenarios for the school of the future have proposed a radical vision in which governments announce the end of compulsory schooling by 2020 and the school has even disappeared. Such blue-sky thinking has a role to play but there is a danger that this approach results in designs for the future classroom that are simply too unconnected with current practice, fail to engage teachers and cannot be mainstreamed because they are divorced from educational policy making in the real world. While iTEC will develop ambitious scenarios for the future classroom, it will also recognise the realities and pace of the educational reform process. By the end of the project, schools will most certainly still exist but the organization of learning will be changing as social interaction and personalization becomes much more prevalent.
iTEC, therefore, will explore a vision of the future where schools will remain the key location for learning and assessment as part of a wider network of physical and virtual learning locations. In doing so, the project recognises that the learning process will increasingly engage with other stakeholders including parents and cultural and business sector members and draw in adult and informal learning.Projektin 20.8.2010 päivätty esittely löytyy tästä linkistä
