5.2: Assumptions
Rethink basic assumptions in our education system that inhibit leveraging technology to improve learning, starting with our
current practice of organizing student and educator learning around seat time instead of the demonstration of competencies.
Other Information:
To realize the full potential of technology for improving performance and increasing productivity, we must remove the process
and structural barriers to broad adoption. The education system must work to identify and rethink basic assumptions of the
education system. Some of these include measurement of educational attainment through seat time, organization of students
into age-determined groups, the structure of separate academic disciplines, the organization of learning into classes of roughly
equal size, and the use of time blocks.
