“If content delivery remains the focus, whether

with/without tech, result is shallow learning. Deep

learning comes with engagement”

1. Talk to ‘strangers’

2. Be transparent ~ embrace open

3. Imitate and innovate

4. Realise it’s about changing education, not how we deliver it (Stokes 2015)

Accept that this is a process, not a programme

Starting point - use your tablet / laptop for your own learning

Something to think about

Standford University’s 2025 project foresee that students will “declare a mission, not a

major”
