The Landscape of 21st Century Learning: Personalised and Differentiated
Personalised, differentiated learning defines exemplary education in the 21st century. Blended learning models offer teachers and students a diverse menu of content delivery and assessment options which can be tailored to meet individual needs. In this session we will explore how a variety of web-based environments and instructional strategies are permitting educators to provide learners with choices in not only the ways they can access and consume content, but also in the ways they "show what they know" through performance-based assessment methods.
I shared this presentation as the closing keynote for the Learning@School09 conference in Rotorua, New Zealand, on February 27, 2009. Presentation slides (with synchronized presentation audio) are available via Slideshare, and as an audio-only podcast.
