Learning Is Anytime, Anywhere
Do students believe that learning only happens in a classroom, during the school day, as directed by a teacher?
– Or –
Do learners recognize that learning happens wherever they are, whenever they want, as inspired by their curiosity?
In Anytime, Anywhere learning experiences, learners seek answers to questions whenever they are curious. They possess the technology and mindset to learn actively from home, school, and community.
Design Principles
Anytime, Anywhere learning experiences empower learners with control over when and where they learn.
- How are learners provided flexibility in pace while still achieving benchmarks and outcomes?
- What supports help learners who need extra time and learners who need enrichment?
- In what ways is learning pace determined by content mastery rather than time spent?
- How is learning extended beyond the classroom and school walls?
