Learning how to learn...

Just read some interesting challenge papers written by Contact North, a non-profit organization providing access to education and training to people in Northern Ontario.

Their recent publications address the challenges facing educational institutions and teachers to embrace emerging technologies.
Students still need to be taught how to become independent learners and using new technologies "will make this learning of how to learn much more effective".  - Trends and Developments in e-Learning

Two other interesting publications include:
Fast Forward: How Emerging Technologies are Transforming Education and Training - from the paper's foreword -

Our goal with this paper is to inform, to think about what the future will look like and how we can best use technology to ensure Ontarians and Canadians have quality access to the education and training opportunities that are critical to our future prosperity.

(some interesting speculations of how emerging technologies may be used in the future and their impact on learners, teachers and educational institutions)
