6. Essence of current transformation:
learner centricity
“The key to this transformation is
that the learner is at the center of
the process, supported by peers,
mentors, parents and educators,
using networks that go beyond
the traditional schools to support
their learning. And because it is
digitally based, all learning can be
captured and credited, no matter
when or where it occurs.”
