i-Learner –Integrating the Cloud: personalised learning
i-Learner – Integrating the Cloud: personalised learning
Using the Cloud makes the potential of personalised learning a reality. But what exactly do we mean by ‘personalised learning’? Is it individualised learning, independent learning, self-organized learning or what? How do we fit personalised learning inside existing formal and non-formal education? If it improves motivation for learning, what about the effectiveness of learning?
WG 3 brought together teachers and educators, from schools, colleges and adult education to exploit the opportunities resulting from the Cloud in both formal and informal learning situations. WG 3 defined personalised learning, and from existing good-practice case studies, developed a manual on how to implement it.
Four deliverables have been produced:
-
A guide based on state-of-the-art research literature review of research and innovative projects
-
A collection of good-practice case studies of the personalisation of learning will be produced, available through this website to provide educators with access to these cases
-
A manual for teachers, coordinators and trainers, downloadable and printed on demand
-
A training workshop to disseminate the findings and deliverables of this Working Group
The Working Group has been led by the Geography Department, Ghent University (Belgium).
