Welcome

Schools, colleges and university are just some of the places where learning takes place but school kids and students can spend a lot of their time in these spaces. There are other places where people learn, some through doing courses at work or online or even learning from others around them in all sorts of situations. The posts here are about learning spaces, writings about learning and technology and thoughts and ideas about all of these.


Futurelab's Learners Charter is contained within the report on 'Personalisation and digital technologies' published in 2005. It sets out an asiration for creating a personalised learning environment.


Although contained within a report on digital technolgies the charter does not mention technology specifically but describes what a learner should expect from the education system that is fit for purpose in the 21st Century.


I have been promoting the charter within my local area and the feedback from schools and others involved in education would suggest that it does encapsulate what we are striving to achieve.


The full report is available on the Futurelab web site and the Charter as a PDF file is available here.
