Notas del editor
Evidence presented by our chapter authors and other sources suggests that, in the future, online, blended, and distance learning in schools will be global and evidence- based, mobile and open, blended and facilitated, and personalized and adaptive.
Global and evidence-based underlie the other trends. Open and mobile are worldwide trends that apply to teaching and learning. Decisions about facilitated and blended instruction and personalized and adaptive learning must be made at the program level.
Blended rotation & flex models most common in U. S. (Revenaugh, Ch 10)
Open educational resources. Open content. Open learning management and content development systems. Open courses such as MOOCs A huge trend.
A wide variety of ways that programs are personalizing learning. Data-driven personalized learning in a small high school setting via Nexus Academies. High-touch, student-centric personalized approaches in our Canadian VHS and Australian NBCS case study schools. Different ways of using LMS to personalize learning in five different UK schools, including individualization and authentic collaboration.
