The logic of education systems should be reversed so that the system conforms to the learner, rather than the learner to the system. This is the essence of personalisation. It demands a system capable of offering bespoke support for each individual in order to foster engaged and independent learners able to reach their full potential.
The 'Personalisation and Digital Technologies' report moves the personalisation debate forward by focusing specifically on the potential of digital technologies in four key areas: enabling learners to make informed educational choices; diversifying and acknowledging different forms of skills and knowledge; creating diverse learning environments; and developing learner-focused forms of assessment and feedback. The report also contains a Learner's Charter, which sets out a series of entitlements that young people should expect from their learning if it were personalised.
The report draws upon the seminar series 'Beyond the Broadband Blackboard: Digital Technologies and Learner Voice' held by Futurelab, Demos, Becta and Toshiba between December 2004 and February 2005. Further information on this series (including individual reports from each seminar) can be found in 'past events':
