As society shifts from the “Information Age” to a new “Learning Age”, learning is no longer the preparation for a job, it is the job. Business and industry understand that the next wave of productivity gains will be realized through improved human capital management and by a massive global re-alignment of talent. The worldwide education community is responding creatively to this challenge. Educators have developed an innovative and much more systematic framework for learning – i.e. the “21st Century Learning Initiative”. Under this initiative both students and their teachers are lifelong learners. And they are expected to internalize a whole new set of 21st century skills and take more direct responsibility for their own individual learning. We call this bold student-centered self-paced approach “deep learning”. The only thing that matters is successful student outcomes. The demand is for good data, real-time performance support, and continuous tracking of actual student achievement.% R1 M& M4 t# b/ A

Along with today’s new systems and the new focus on learning itself, comes a revolutionary organization concept for education. Schools are reinventing themselves and moving away from being mere teaching organizations and becoming instead real learning organizations. + j# F5 W7 J6 X! B4 W7 b8 Q" L+ _

It is a student-centered, networked, lifelong learning environment that leverages the talents of a multi-generational learning team whose members are drawn from all over the world. The continuing development of this next generation global education workforce to support the new “net” generation of self-paced lifelong learners is absolutely essential. !

The globalization of the education industry will continues to accelerate. The classroom of the future will need to be further re-engineered and become capable of quickly adapting to meet multifunctional, multi-cultural requirements. Schools will no longer be simple learning spaces. They will become instead highly interconnected hubs and integral parts of global multi-generational networked learning communities. Soon the personalization of each student’s learning path via an individual development plan (IDP) will be the norm. % M) _0 `, K, F( g T$ Y/ S5 E

The process requires a shared context to facilitate the building of new relationships regardless of differences in geographic location. The process requires a new type of global learning community, an “intelligent human network”- i.e. a “net brain”. Hundreds of millions of learners, educators, mentors, social entrepreneurs, school administrators and other stakeholders - including countless virtual assistants/digital avatars - will routinely interconnect, communicate, share knowledge, and collaborate in real time. 6 V" i1 b6 n( j+ T- i6 q- D ( ?& R5 M# _ ~- `' d R0 GClassrooms of the future will be the building blocks in a rapidly evolving global learning ecosystem and catalysts for the next generation of education technology (ET) development.
