The Future Of Learning? Well, It's Personal

This NPR article on personal and personalized learning (cast here as two types of personalized learning) has a hard focus on U.S. schools sector issues and voices, which is unfortunate. It also lacks some historical depth, and as a result doesn't explore the application and development of personalized learning and competency-based learning in the military (think: Advanced Distributed Learning) and corporate sectors. And for 'evidence' we get Sal Khan's opinions. "We're all learning about factoring polynomials," he says, "but you're doing it in a context of something that interests you, say soccer.. That's not the type that we focus on. There's not evidence it's effective, and it's hard to implement." It's a well-written but incomplete article and I have quibbles, at the very least.
