WANTED PIONEERS

1. The drivers of the education system – assessment, curriculum, inspection/quality requirements, funding flows, promotion criteria – have not changed in recognition of what technology offers, so nothing within it can change.

Barriers to change-Diana Laurrilard

2. Technological change is very rapid, and because every  innovation is useful in education we need more time to  make the radical  changes they afford.

Barriers to change

3. The education system is run by leaders who are not comfortable  with either the detail or the implications of the technology potential, and they need more support.

Barriers to change

4. Education is a political activity so avoids being subject  to the  innovation that market forces encourage.

Barriers to change

 5. Education systems change slowly because they are hierarchical command - control systems, rather than devolved - power adaptive systems.

Teachers and lecturers are given neither the power nor the means to improve the nature and quality of the teaching-learning process through technology.
