3. Personalisation ‘The logic of education systems should be reversed so that it is the system that conforms to the learner, rather than the learner to the system. This is the essence of personalisation’. Personalisation and Digital Technologies http://www.futurelab.org.uk/resources/documents/opening_education/Personalisation_report.pdf
6. Personalisation as Choice ‘Mass customisation’ gives users have a degree of choice over standardised modules. ‘Personalised timing’ allows individual timings of a user’s trip through a standard curriculum.
11. Ownership Developing empowering cultures requires skill, thought and a commitment to valuing and exploring processes, not just focusing on the ‘product’ - Haigh, 1999
12. Ownership Matrix Ownership introduces the understanding of both product and process and explores the extent to which ownership can be transferred.

Editor's Notes
Excellence and Enjoyment – For Vygotksy learning is not always fun, where the government is legitimising continued accumulation through global competitiveness (‘excellence’) in a knowledge-based (‘creative’) society through an appeal to consumerism (‘personalisation’) and the nice emotions (‘enjoyment’) derived from it;Marketisation and Equity - values such as self-motivation, self-regulation, and educational progress, are not equally distributed among different classes and cultures in English society. Personalisation and Choice - choice of institution and learning experience may be mutually contradictory – those that need most help are least likely to seek it.
For Vygotsky an independent learner is the result of learning rather than a premise for it.
VLE is rational where progress is monitored against well defined learning outcomesILP is a judgemental process that offers a shared vision for future development which is not predetermined and can only be judged in relation to that visionAssessment is political process with outcomes derived from established frameworks that require negotiation to ensure these are shared by the learnerThe portfolio involves complex processes representative of creativity, reflection, and new modes of operating
Dynamic assessment follows a test-teach-test paradigm using quantitative data and highly scripted teaching response to provide a more complete picture of actual and maturing cognitive structures and functioning;Formative assessment occurs within the ZPD during collaboration or instructional conversation and as a qualitative assessment aimed to optimise instruction it offers personalised non-scripted teacher response to variable tasks. To determine the contribution of instruction to learner development it is also necessary to assess independent performance in subsequent tasks. The student portfolio, as a narrative, operates as an authentic cultural tool. Authenticity of assessment is maintained through encouraging the learner to contribute their ideas to the discussion rather than present correct answers
For Vygotsky an independent learner is the result of learning rather than a premise for it.
what the learner already knows and is capable of demonstrating during independent activity (e.g. examination) gives little indication of the appropriate interventions to progress that learner to the next developmental level.
