Sugata Mitra, Indian computer scientist, educational theorist, and professor of Educational Technology at Newcastle University in England offers a perspective on the future of learning and education.
His "Schools in the Cloud" are focused on measurable and impactful insights from extensive research around the world.
"Almost twenty years of experiments with children's education takes us through a series of startling results – children can self organise their own learning, they can achieve educational objectives on their own, can read by themselves. Finally, the most startling of them all: Groups of children with access to the Internet can learn anything by themselves. The mechanism of this kind of learning seems similar to the appearance of spontaneous order, or ‘emergent phenomena’ in chaotic systems."
How can we begin to create more agile and effective learning environments, in spite of the current obstacles we face globally?
