The document provides 10 guidelines for navigating technology-enhanced learning in education. Guideline 1 states that learning involving direct information transfer will be replaced by technology. Guideline 2 says that any repetitive assessment or learning tasks that can be automated will be. Guideline 3 explains that any computerized course that results in equal or better learning outcomes and is cheaper will be delivered digitally. The remaining guidelines discuss how learning will become more collaborative and adaptive, the role of teachers will shift to learning coaches, mobile devices and assessments will be addressed, and students can move between in-person and digital experiences seamlessly.
