Innovation
Theme 3: Innovation
Facilitating and driving change in content, access and delivery.
The development of the information society and the widespreaddistribution of IT are generating countless new and excitingopportunities for learning.
For example, technology and connectivity enable improved use of scarceresources, such as teachers and buildings, offering new ways ofreaching the hard-to-reach: “open schools”, “pocket schools”, distancelearning, etc.
At the same time, the unparalleled pace of change stimulated by thedigital revolution calls into question established views and practicesregarding how teaching and learning should be organised andimplemented. Helping students turn the plethora of availableinformation into knowledge and real understanding is but one of thecrucial tasks that lie ahead.
Throughout the world, education stakeholders are putting on theirthinking caps and seeking the best ways to adapt existing educationalsystems to tomorrow’s world.
“Innovation” in the broadest sense of the word – reaching way beyond“technology” alone - is therefore vital. Facing the sheer diversity andrange of today’s challenges, we must find ways of thinkingcreatively and “acting differently” (“more of the same” is just notgood enough).

WISE has set its sights high. Its aim is to help define how tospearhead full-scale change and innovation within 21st-century learningcommunities throughout the world. It is now of critical importance toelaborate future scenarios and strategies to inspire a paradigm shiftin the way technology is used across the whole spectrum of educationaland skills systems, empowering learners to take greater control oftheir learning and lives.
The overall agenda of the event will be updated here on a regular basis.
