Where next on our EdTech journey?
Holistic education nurturing both academic and personal growth will be critical in the next decade, the authoritative HolonIQ 2024 Global Education Outlook reported recently.
New methods will assess and develop essential future competencies. Expect a focus on skills. Technology will drive innovative learning models and experiences, shaped by evidence.
Our online platform Persona Life Skills is already at the cutting edge of these trends. But we want to stay ahead of the curve with new content – like our upcoming modules on Inclusion, Digital Citizenship and Climate Change – and new features based on users' needs.
So we will be gathering feedback and ideas over the coming weeks. Whether or not you already have an account with us, if you want to help shape the next version of Persona Life Skills, please get in touch.
