Leadership : Love of Learning

In this day and age of future field services and industry engagement and pointers and recommendations and capability development and framework initiatives and so on are we forgetting anything in what we have learnt from years of LearnScope with clients, learners call them what you will ?

We are here in Adelaide debating how to realize the mantra – participation , productivity and prosperity……whilst not losing focus on the needs of the individual – building capability with VET providers and within the very infrastructure that we nurture our learners within.

I sit here amongst people who have thrown their whole lives into building the love of learning with students of all ages and persuasions.

There is a recognition that as we ( anyone who’s ever participated in a LearnScope project ) move into another iteration of the Framework in 2008 – 2011 we have a lot at stake in the future process for funding allocations and the very infrstructural changes that will come about with the shift in political climate .

I sit amongst leaders synthesizing how important learner centered models of knowledge aggregation have become in a political climate of industry engagement and cultural shift to outcomes and client output targets. It’s anybody’s guess as to how this will all fall out.

Leaders love learning and thats what counts…..it shows in those who have come in contact with them.

Net-Gen : The Millenials

Courtesy of Col Masters comes the netGen article that SMH so cleverly disguised as news not so long ago.

Quote: ” ….We now live in a world where information is easily created and shared and where its skilled application is highly valued. This has significant ramifications for education, as the new tools and new ways of thinking necessitate dramatic new approaches to teaching and learning. This directly affects the design of interactive multimedia learning resources…..”

It’s a ray of sunshine amongst a loft filled with IT lizards when someone sends the real thing through devoid and un-fettered of public fear mongering.
