Henry Ford – Any colour you like?
Personalisation
A Procrustean bed is an
arbitrary standard to which
exact conformity is forced
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’.
