The Future of Learning blog covers areas that NLET is involved in. These include systems level change in Math Access, Education-to-Employment Equity and in cutting Science Engagement. The future of learning for NLET also means something much deeper than learning through educational institutions alone, or from the Internet alone, or from AI alone. We believe that there are clear limits to institutional education as well as issues with the Web and AI. Our hope is to help improve education and learning, to track, create and promote innovation, and at the heart of our mission to transform learning at personal, social, cultural and governmental levels. What and how learning becomes is critical as patterns shift for the young, disengaged and working people. We believe learning, in its broadest sense, must be high-quality, openly accessible and alternatively credentialed.
