Pearson’s Research and Innovation Network is sharing a new series of videos that show what learning may look like in just a few years.
1- Simone’s story
In this School of Thought video, Simone, an adult learner, uses technology to direct her own learning path. Simone has a hyper-connected and contextual educational experience with assessments that happen during the learning process that are unnoticed by her. Her learning is complete with augmented reality, learning that can happen anywhere and anytime, and a massive online course.
2- Victoria’s story
Victoria, a middle school student, experiences education through the support of human and automated interventions in this instalment of the School of Thought series. Her curricula and presentation are customized to her learning style, with the speed and automated assessment tailored to her level of performance. Future technologies help her learn through real-world experiences in new ways.
3- Rey’s story
Using games and simulations, Rey is highly engaged with a performance assessment, which requires him to apply higher-order thinking skills to work through thematically-linked activities set in real-world contexts.
