The problem The most important public study on educational systems, the Programme on International Student Assessment (PISA) conducted first by the OECD in 2000, ranked Germany in the bottom third of the thirty-two mainly OECD countries.
The German state has reacted to the study by focusing on reforming school curricula and by launching extra classes in elementary schools and high schools for disadvantaged students.

These pioneers were developing a wide range of creative digital learning tools such computer algorithms for analyzing student writing
and (4) it redefines the relationships between and among students, teachers and educational institutions. Early digital developments had an evolutionary influence on one, two or three of these areas,
A teacher lectures to a group of students assembled in a classroom. Students read printed materials typically outside of class time
and complete assignments to facilitate and test their comprehension of course materials. This model is generally less effective than direct mentorship
It is defined by interconnectedness among students and teachers and features many-to-many communication and multidirectional mentorship (see Figure 1). The professor is no longer in the role of the grand master of knowledge.

and discovery between and among students and the person formerly known as the instructor, adapting Jay Rosen's apt description of the rise of the citizen journalist in the digital age (2012).
and customize student engagement and learning in real time (Fournier, 2011). Interactive, on-demand multimedia resources such as the Khan academy enable students to learn the basics of any discipline asynchronously (Khan academy, 2013.
But they are limited severely in terms of giving the individual student direct, interactive access to the human course instructor.
As A j. Jacobs, editor at large for Esquire magazine, noted after completing three MOOCS: When it comes to Massive open online courses,
out of students'reach, only slightly more accessible than the pope or Thomas Pynchon. Several of my Coursera courses begin by warning students not to e-mail the professor.
We are told not to‘friend'the professor on Facebook (2013. Though extremely efficient, MOOCS are still largely an extension of the second educational paradigm,
and expert systems to provide student feedback and learning customization, the ability of these systems to function effectively is limited largely to courses designed to advance subject matter mastery.
They have limited utility where student learning objectives involve developing new knowledge, solving new problems, and innovation.
The emerging third paradigm of education IS about students learning creative problem solving, innovation and generating new knowledge.
and interaction with graduate students. Outside of formal team projects, collaboration among students is frowned sometimes even upon as a form of cheating.
The arrival of the third educational paradigm does not spell the end of the previous paradigms.
students working outside of formal class time could efficiently communicate and collaboratively learn via their electronic group (e-group).
Importantly, the e-groups included not just students currently enrolled but many who had taken previously the class
These course graduates, so to speak, were still active participants in the class as mentors to current students.
Appropriately enough, the students introduced the instructor to the particular e-groups software tool they used for online collaboration.
each semester students are locked out at the end of the term. Instead, minimizing the potential to achieve maximum cross-generational education,
these alumni are blocked as possible mentors to current students. Because these commercial course management systems are linked to the official university registrar,
students who sign up for a class are enrolled automatically in the online section, which is a useful efficiency.
the interconnected student can become an active collaborator in a continuous learning process (2013). Mobile technology, including wearable devices such as Google glass,
School has long been bounded by space and time and the physical qualities of student and teacher.
Emerging technologies allow student and teacher to transcend these constraints. It's 118 worth noting that more than half (56 percent) of adults in the U s as of 2013 use a smartphone (Smith 2013.
Of course, these networked digital technologies raise important privacy issues that must be managed in an effective manner to protect students'privacy rights (Douthat, 2013.

In LPP, students engage actively in the real work of a discipline under the mentorship of a faculty member with expertise in the discipline.
Students studying history, for instance, might use a variety of mobile devices to conduct community history. They might do recorded oral histories
but it engages students in a process that both enriches their learning and can contribute, at least peripherally, to the field.
multi-modal learning greatly facilitates student comprehension (Prince, 2004). LPP is just one form of active learning.
Clickers, for instance, enable students to answer questions posed by the instructor during live class. The instructor can instantly gauge student learning
and customize her or his instruction accordingly. Moreover, learning analytics based on such data are increasingly being incorporated across digital learning environments.
This is a strategy to take advantage of many students'natural inclination toward ubiquitous and often non-stop mobile device use.
but students do not (Chinn & Malhotra, 2002). This evidence suggests that social engagement, or peer-to-peer learning, brings important implications for learning in the third paradigm.

asking each other questions, seeking advice and developing new strategies for completing course assignments. Networked, digital and mobile technologies also provide a window to better engage a diverse student population.

Human teachers should mentor their students. In particular, human teachers should focus on three domains that can frame all knowledge:
Second, students can become lifelong learners...and teachers. The line between teacher and student can blur,
much as the line between professional journalist and citizen reporter has blurred. In the 21st century, teachers will serve as guide
and students will be active participants in a continuous learning process helping to create, discover and share knowledge.
Experienced teachers can play an especially vital role in nurturing the development of this moral compass in their students.

The Government will also encourage greater student participation in summer schools for STEM students, particularly for girls,
disadvantaged and Indigenous students, including those living in regional and remote areas. This programme is designed to provide students with unique experiences in science
and mathematics, stimulating their passion for these learning areas. The Government will provide $600 000 to support travel and accommodation for participants, building on existing national summer schools for STEM.
Students will undertake regular high school curriculum subjects alongside technical subjects such as computer programming, graphics, logic and problem solving.
students will have identified pathways to employment with the school's industry partners. Students will be able to graduate with a Year 12 qualification,
