Both Higher Ed and Lower Ed are pursuing personalized learning. But they are going in opposite directions. Higher Ed says… learner, here are opportunities for learning, you choose. Lower Ed says… learner, an algorithm knows best what opportunities you need for learning; it chooses. After keynoting the Institute of Applied Technology’s Technological Education Conference 2012 in Abu Dhabi on April 1, we served on a panel of faculty and high school students discussing the use of mobile devices in high school education. In response to a question about personalized learning, a high school student on the panel said, in effect, that it was important to him to be able to choose what he wanted to learn and when he wanted to learn and that mobile devices helped in that endeavor.
