Join Richard Olsen from ideasLAB as we discuss self-directed modern learners.

Modern technology enables us to stop thinking about all learning as teacher directed, and all students as empty vessels. Self-directed learners using modern technology now have the ability to be much better informed and therefore more likely to make much better choices in what and how they learn. For schools the consequences are profound. Having students that are in a position to make effective learning choices allows schools to reimagine new student and teacher roles.
