So, the question becomes, how do you support all learners to achieve what they aspire to achieve?

the learner is given more of that control. The instructors write: ”This course will experiment with multiple learning pathways. It has been structured to allow learners to take various pathways through learning content – either in the existing edX format or in a social competency-based and self-directed format. Learners will have access to pathways that support both beginners, and more advanced students, with pointers to additional advanced resources. In addition to interactions within the edX platform, learners will be encouraged to engage in distributed conversations on social media such as blogs and Twitter.” I like this because of the recognition that learners come to courses with varying needs/wants and that recognition influenced the design of the course.

research has shown, that learners don’t know what they don’t know. A personal learning plan isn’t a panacea, which is why every course needs to include a diverse range of scaffolds and supports.

What is the problem/challenge/focus? Why is it a problem? Who says, or, who agrees and doesn’t agree? What has been done so far to deal with this? Who tried it and what were their results? In light of all this, what else could be done, and what will be best for this particular problem? What makes this idea viable? What process of implementation will work best, and why?
