10 key ideas from Invisible Learning*
*Coming February 2011, University of Barcelona Press
1
Invisible Learning is not a single idea.
It is composed of many ideas.
2
We need to take into consideration the
tremendous impacts of accelerating change.
3
Invisible Learning focuses on how to learn,
not what to learn.
4
Rethinking the formal institutions of education
should lead us to more openness.
5
Most of the discourse around innovation in
education has been around infrastructure,
but doesn’t focus on new strategies for
knowledge acquisition or transfer.
6
Reinventing learning doesn’t mean we need
to start from scratch.
7
Education is not an “event.”
It is a part of a lifelong continuum.
8
Mindware is our best technology.
9
Normative forecasting tools can help us
build education futures that are relevant in
the Invisible Learning proto-paradigm.
