10. Why we need both science
and humanities for
a Fourth Industrial
Revolution education
The 4th Industrial Revolution
has an impact on how we
live, work, communicate,
integrate and interact with
others, the environment and
society. Of course, it also
changes the way we learn.

Revolution requires the
social revolution as well:

18. Sustained
Learning
• Students in the 21st century are
continuously bombarded with the
requirements of curriculum content,
standards, and technological expectations
that extend beyond what most of us were
prepared to teach. Never before have
there been so many questions about what
is essential to learn, within such a short
amount of time to teach it. Some students
embrace the challenges presented to
them, while others seem to lack a
connection to the learning and become
disengaged. Teachers are challenged to
transform classroom experiences to enable
ALL students to learn.

19. WHATS THE ROLE OF
EDUCATION
• EDUCATION NEEDS TO
AIM TO DO MORE
THAN TO PREAPRE
YOUNG PEOPLE FOR
THE WORLD OF WORK.
• IT NEEDS TO EQUIP
STUDENTS WITH THE
SKILLS TEHY NEED TO
BECOME ACTIVE,
RESPONSIBLE AND
ENGAGED CITICENS
Just for me,
and just in time

22. Personal learning is like shopping at a grocery
store. You need to assemble the ingredients
yourself and create your own meals. It’s harder,
but it’s a lot cheaper, and you can have an
endless variety of meals. Sure, you might not
get the best meals possible, but you control the
experience, and you control the outcome.
Personalized learning is like being served at a
restaurant. Someone else selects the food and
prepares it. There is some customization – you
can tell the waiter how you want your meat
cooked – but essentially everyone at the
restaurant gets the same experience.

36. Open Education an
agent to support social
justice
Social inclusion refers to “the
process of improving the terms
for individuals and groups to
take part in society ... It ensures
that people have a voice in
decisions which affect their lives
and that they enjoy equal access
to markets, services and
political, social and physical
spaces”. (Arinto, Hodgkinson-
Williams, Trotter, 2017)

Impact of learning over time – on careers, on habits of lifelong learning, on
community involvement and benefits.
Engagement as one of the key drivers for quality.
Innovative, flexible, effectively using technology for learning, teaching, analytics and
assessment or engaging students with practical applications of the content.
In re-thinking the approach to quality, we should ask ourselves
The How? How do the students experience their learning
The How? How do faculty experience their teaching?
The What? Focus on outcomes in more depth.
The So What?
The Then What?
… need to move to a much more experiential and outcome-based view of quality if
it is to be the engine of transformation. ISOPF2019_Kyrenia_CY_Ossiannilsson
51. Online training is not a simple matter of digitalising existing
material and making it available online, but more
fundamentally responding to the new opportunities and
challenges made possible by digitalisation, and SHIFTING
FROM DIGITAL LEARNING TOWARDS LEARNING IN A
DIGITAL WORLD (EU commissionaire Ferrari , Brussels, June
