Big Issues

Challenges

Lots of Challenges

• EU focus entirely outside education

• Main goal – clear policy – national education – subsidiarity - problem

• No vision – to meet C21 needs

• No clear decision making • Disruption – reactive

• e-Leadership for change • curriculum –

qualifications – slow to change

• What’s in it for me? – is there a pedagogical added value

• Future, smart cities - learning needed – smart citizens

Challenge: Complexity

Linking use of services and tools to individual learners – specified by instructional strategies
