The document discusses how new science and technologies can be applied to education to make learning more effective, efficient and engaging. It describes how businesses, universities and governments can share information and expertise in learning sciences to create and test solutions. Specifically, it mentions how understanding learners better and taking learning to scale using online tools can lead to lower costs and better outcomes in education.

15. Excel has the statistical tools to prove what solutions work, are cost effective and favoured by students, staff or families. Schools can be independent organisations driven by real time data.

16. adapting to our world means adapting to more Information Communication Technologies

17. academic actions progress confidence emotional attitudes health body clock attendance body analysis Key Performance Indicators

18. Direct access for parents

20. A student’s own self assessment is as accurate as teachers or tests (OECD studies, 2004 onward)

22. Do I have to read all these today??

45. This programme was broadcast 24 February 2009 and is not on BBC IPlayer- hopefully it will be out on DVD soon (or rebroadcast)

51. so change the school day . . . and start after 10

52. YES WE CAN

53. ASK NOT . . . what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country

55. Scientific American, October 2009 The symbol H+ is the code sign used by some futurists to denote an enhanced version of humanity. The plus version of the human race would deploy a mix of advanced technologies, including stem cells, robotics, cognition enhancing drugs, and the like, to overcome basic mental and physical limitations.
