The European Schoolnet has recently produced an interesting brochure on iClass, a system developed to support self regulated personalised learning. Behind this term is “what teachers have always been trying to achieve in schools: motivate the learners by empowering them, teaching them how to make meaningful choices and reflect on them.

The iClass system translates the ideas of the pedagogical model into an online platform which invites the learner to ‘plan, learn and reflect’. It is a prototype of what may well be common place in a few years’ time: a system which helps learners creates their own learning paths based on their preferences, mode of learning and character”.

It’s interesting, take a look.

One interesting feature is that there were no UK schools involved in the project. Similarly there were no UK projects featured in their recent survey of “laptop programmes for students, an overview through Europe and beyond”. No doubt we’re still installing lost of electronic whiteboards here in the UK, so that’s OK then.
