Technology-Enabled Personalized Learning: Findings and Recommendations to Accelerate Implementation
Last year, over 100 education leaders attended the Technology-Enabled Personalized Learning (TEPL) Summit hosted by the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation at NC State University in collaboration with Digital Promise, the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), and the Michigan Association of Intermediate School Administrators (MAISA). This convening was unique in that the leaders included similar representation from industry, associations and nonprofits, and university and K-12 educators. Together, they compared experiences, discussed common challenges and barriers, explored case studies, and identified potential solutions and models that all must be addressed collectively to scale the implementation of personalized learning through technology.
We are excited to announce that their suggestions are now available in a final report titled Technology-Enabled Personalized Learning: Findings and Recommendations to Accelerate Implementation.
