The document discusses the concept of the personalized learner in the context of emerging technologies. A personalized learner is empowered to continuously learn through digital literacies, seamless learning across contexts, self-regulated learning strategies, authentic assessment methods, a focus on lifelong learning, and open learning pathways. As technologies like mobile devices and online networks become more ubiquitous, they both enable and influence how learners approach education by shaping their tools and environments.
