Contemporary learning in seven areas: 1) make learning and learner engagement central; 2) learning is social and often collaborative; 3) be attuned to learners’ motivations and emotions; 4) be sensitive to individual differences including prior knowledge; 5) be demanding for each learner but without excessive overload; 6) recognize assessment as critical, but with strong emphasis on formative feedback; 7) promote horizontal connectedness across activities and subjects, in and out of school.
