Converge Special Report: The Evolving Classroom

on December 1, 2011

The traditional classroom model is evolving. It is no longer limited to teachers standing at the front of the room delivering learning content to a group of students. The ubiquity of the Internet, mobile devices, wireless networks and other technologies have torn down the walls of the classroom, enabling a variety of unconventional, location-independent learning environments. These new models of online and hybrid learning provide flexible learning options and more individualized instruction for students, which increases engagement and student achievement.

The 2011 Q4 Special Report focuses on the evolution of learning settings from traditional, instructor-led classrooms to completely virtual, student-centric classes and schools. It describes and illustrates myriad K-12, college and university learning environments, gives examples of how evolving classroom models impact students and teachers, and highlights the technologies that make it possible. To bring students into a digital learning age, the classroom must evolve.
