The future of technology in education is not really about technology--it is about learning. The challenges of developing approriate strategies and infrastrucures and integrating them into exisiting and future curriculum is profound. The emergence of the 21st century has also been the dawn of the learning age with learning achieving 'most important' status across society. Consider that the number of adult learners increased from around 50 million in 1993 to more than 100 million in 2002, and you can see the incredible increase in the importance of learning in society. The array of strategies being deployed across higher education includes: credit banking, vertical learning markets, horizontal learning markets, strategic partnerships, blended learning, modularized curriculum, assessment based curriculum and the list goes on. Plans designed to prepare Maricopa for the future must examine not only the issues of technology but those surrounding how we assess our fiduciary responsibility to the constituents we serve and how we look at curriculum, assessment, academic planning, etc. within that context.

Learner-Centered Psychological Principles: A Framework for School Redesign and Reform
prepared by a Work Group of the American Psychological Association's Board of Educational Affairs (BEA). This November 1997 report "centers attention on learners -- rather than on teaching, curriculum and instruction, or on the administrative structure of the school -- as a way to highlight the contributions of psychology to educational processes and programs. In applying the learner-centered principles, it is recognized that both the teacher and the curriculum materials are key components of effective schooling. The learner-centered psychological principles provide an essential framework to be incorporated in new designs for curriculum and instruction, assessment systems for evaluating educational goal attainments, as well as for the systemic redesign of professional development programs and educational system structures."
