iClass: Another Step Towards the Future of Learning

iClass: Another Step Towards the Future of Learning - "After four and a half years, the iClass project - one of the largest projects funded by the European Commission DG Information Society to create an intelligent Distributed Cognitive-based Open Learning System for schools - came to an end in July 2008. European Schoolnet (EUN) has gathered the results in a booklet titled ‘The Future of Learning? Results from the iClass project'. The final tasks in the project were validation workshops in Budapest, Hungary, and Toruń, Poland.

"The iClass system translates the ideas of the pedagogical model into an online platform which invites the learner to ‘plan, learn and reflect’. It is a prototype of what may well be common place in a few years’ time: a system which helps learners creates their own learning paths based on their preferences, mode of learning and character."
