Results of the LEONIE Results of the LEONIE researchresearch
Learning systems are becoming: more and more plural more attentive to individual needs, and
therefore reflecting the diversification of learning and living patterns in Europe
evolving in accordance with economic macro-trends such as the rise of the knowledge economy, the internationalisation of exchanges and flexibility of companies and individuals
more open cross-cultural/national initiatives
Based on just in time, but also just enough learning
9
Results of the LEONIE Results of the LEONIE research research
Learning systems are becoming: virtual and worldwide. ICT will enable
people to learn in collaborative communities worldwide
Complemented, but not subsituted by edutainment
More accessible, despite the risk of skills gaps
More integrated (education, training, labour market)
Lifelong and Lifewide

Tensions in future Tensions in future learning systemslearning systems
Alternative/complementary visions of the future can be represented as “tensions”
Tensions involve institutions in seemingly mutually-exclusive choices-
Tensions are not necessarily antithetical. Future learning could advance in both directions, in one or in none of them…

The identification of tensions or “critical uncertainties”: reduces the complexity provides a platform for debates encourages individuals and
organizations to positions themselves

e-Learning is …
A huge opportunity to open up
curriculum boundaries and to
generate new knowledge and
content through grass-roots energy
mobilisation.
26
The Domestic WorldThe Domestic World
e-Learning is …
A potentially dangerous development that needs appropriate legislation, quality control, protection of young
learners and a high level of structuring of learning paths and activities before being considered as a serious complement to
traditionalteaching methods.
27
The World of Opinion and The World of Opinion and ImageImage
e-Learning is …
A recent development in the education and training area, that should be trusted
only when proposed by a well-established organisation which could
provide prestigious titles.
28
The Civic WorldThe Civic World
e-Learning is …
An interesting opportunity to develop community-based learning, to give access
to learning opportunities to people who would be excluded.
BUT ALSOA risk of de-contextualising the learning experiences through the dominance of
global providers.

Shaping together the Shaping together the future of education future of education
Taking into account that… we need to consider both terms of the
polarities: access and excellence, convergence and context…
Future of learning does not take place in vacuum, but some aspects of the future can be influenced
Developing scenarios and visions of the future helps individuals and organizations to “create” their own future up to a systemic level.
40
Shaping together the Shaping together the future of education...future of education...
We propose: to multiply the discussion arenas on
education and training to keep consulting policy makers,
researchers, experts, but also practitioners and other stakeholders and publicize the results of this ongoing exercise
to stimulate proactive and transformative approaches to change
to consolidate and animate a community of practice motivated to enhance the role of education in the knowledge society
