A successful 21st Century Education System needs careful consideration of the support, communications, and learning experiences you provide. With the introduction of education technologies the distance between the teacher and the learner grows and with it their relationship. This presentation offers practical solutions relating to the levers that are available to institutions to strengthen learner engagement, provide authentic learning opportunities and understand how to challenge learners to develop their 21st century skills.

- 7. Clear direction within study.
- 8. Skills through authentic learning.
- 10. The teacher role is becoming that of a trusted expert, providing direction and feedback rather than information and verification. Learners continue to need similar support to previous generations. However, the manner of support is different. • Support and engagement is holistic • Information is curated • Skill acquisition is embedded in authentic environments • Learners are challenged to think critically rather than remember content.

- Everyone here is aware of what is happening in education: technology is supporting a tectonic shift in how education is delivered and received. ‘Supporting’ because the push is not from the teachers – it is coming from the learners and the world they will be living in.
- Information technology is changing quickly.
- Learners can study online anywhere anytime and are entering a work world that will be quite different to the one we knew
- Education technologies are increasing the distance between teaching and the learner and this is having the affect of placing more responsibility on the learner. With distance flexibility increases, but engagement opportunities decrease. Great for some – a problem for others. Engagement in this context includes engagement in authentic learning experiences.
- We need to ask - what do learners need from us? Sure watching something on you tube can help, but in reality it is not the solution an education institute provides. So, what do we need to provide to remain relevant? We need to keep providing the same things we always have The difference is in how we provide it.
- Support must be systemic and include whanau, community groups and industry partners. Interventions must be whole-person solutions. Communication must play a critical role in keeping the learner involved in what’s going on Online learning support must be well structured and focused on learner needs.
- We must provide clear direction within the learner’s programme of study. In the past we could hand out a textbook. But with IT information everywhere. Learners need to know what to learn, where to find it. With learning happening anywhere anytime the expectations we place on learners must be clear and accessable Learners need to know what and who they can trust as the sources of truth
- We need to provide authentic opportunities to practice both industry skills and soft skills. Educators must balance authentic experiences with information delivery to prevent learners downing in information. A learner need to know which welding video to watch and what it is about the video that is good and what is poor practice. Watching a welding video may help but practicing welding is where the skill retention and full understanding comes from. Soft skills such as communication, initiative taking, and working with others often mean the difference between getting a job and not. With technology increasing the distance between learning and practice, embedding learning into authentic situations becomes vital for the accumulation of soft skills.
- Learners need to be challenged to think critically, to problem solve and take more responsibility for their learning. The feedback they receive provides direction as well as reflection.
- Lets recap. We have described what we need to do: the support, direction, the skills and the challenge. So now I want to talk about how we enable ourselves to deliver.
- Private enterprise is providing online solutions for learners. Google (where you can specifically search for exam scripts on a given topic) MOOCs, OER’s. The private sector’s ability to react to market needs is based on organisational agility – this, in turn, is based hoe they manage and approach risk. We need to move from risk aversion.
- to seeking the opportunity in risk. To help us get there we should focus on our core business – this will make our decisions less complicated. Decisions can be made more quickly in response to the market. It is about running lean and being agile – and this is fundamentally about collaboration and understanding the market needs.
- We need to know what our community and industry partners need, now and in the future, so our teaching and research is led by community and industry needs. Communication connects us and contributes to the information we need to make informed decisions. Success is when our collaborations and research adds to our own teaching capacity and supports industry, and our communities to achieve outcomes they could not have achieved alone.
- Technology provides tools to understand our learners. The information we gain through the interactions of , to and between learners can help us provide for the individual learner. This data builds up. It gets big and allows us to measure ourselves, understand our learners and plan for the future.
- Focus on our core business – increase our agility, seek the opportunity in risk. Collaborate with other providers and private enterprise. Collaborate with the industries and communities we serve to achieve outcomes neither could achieve alone. Engage in multi-way communications to better understand and engage with the industries and communities we serve. Use digital technologies to understand learner’s interactions so we are able to make informed decisions.
- Success is when we are able to lead changes in learning and teaching practice in order that our learners see us as highly relevant and their first choice for education.
- With these four flagstones in place I believe we have the foundations for a successful 21st Century education system.
