Internet of Education
Learning Economy Foundation,
Nov 18, 2020
The Learning Economy Foundation and its partners are launching the Internet of Education Guiding Principles today. The Internet of Education was promoted in Davos back in January and the first-interation website is available today. It is not an organization, according to its website, but is rather "a network of protocols and shared services that enable lifelong, personalized, competency-based learning at the scale of the Internet." Its vision is articulated in these principles (which have my broad support) and specific proposals include a focus on equity networks, skills libraries, digital wallets, data harmonization, and a skills GPS. I think they've built a nice online community to share resources and ideas, but I don't see that they're actually doing anything yet, though it may be too early for that. But I'd be looking for things like a distributed learning resource library, calendar of open educational events, personal learning environment specifications (and reference implementation), etc.
