Learning in this century differs greatly from education of the 20th century in some ways. As the first decade of the new millennium wraps up, we can look back and see these trends that have emerged and are likely to continue in the coming decade.
- Increased use and integration of technology.
- Globalized approaches to learning.
- Awareness of economic factors affecting education.
- Need for a highly skilled, competitive workforce.
- “Borderless” and cross-border education.
- Increased student and faculty mobility.
- Individualized, customizable, learner-centred approaches.
- Strategic partnerships and alliances among governments, school boards, schools and individual educators.
- Emergence of non-formal and informal learning, driven by technology
- Frameworks, benchmarks and other asset-based approaches to assessment.
