Becta keynote address, Niel McLean, Personalising learning in a connected world

The debate about personalising learning asks challenging questions. To what extent is it possible or desirable to meet individual learners' needs? If we want to open up real possibilities to personalise what is learnt, how it is learnt, where it is learnt, when it is learnt, how learning is supported, and how it is recognised, do we have the tools for the job? If new technology offers us the tools, what does that mean for the role of the teacher and the school? This session considers the challenges and opportunities for personalising learning in a connected world.
