“How Digital Learning Contributes to Deeper Learning” by Carri Schneider and Tom Vander Ark is a white paper that examines how key aspects of personal digital learning – common standards, next-generation assessments, blended learning, and affordable devices – can provide deeper learning opportunities for students.
This paper identifies three primary ways that digital learning promotes deeper learning:
- Personalized skill building in preparation for deeper learning (e.g., adaptive learning in the Learning Lab at Rocketship Elementary);
- Schools and tools that foster deeper learning (e.g., project-based learning networks like New Tech); and
- Extended access (e.g., access to quality courses and teachers online).
