Learning in and for the 21st century

This fourth report looks into the prevalent issue of 21st century learning as envisioned by prominent scholar Dr John Seely Brown, or "JSB" as he is often called. JSB is the 8th CJ Koh Professor from 21 November to 23 November 2012. During his visit, he delivered a symposium and public lecture, where he spoke about the need to instill the dispositions of "tinkering" and "imagination", the need to create learner-centric environments for these dispositions to strive in, and the need to change our perspectives - to manipulate the context rather than the content. For JSB, these are the right stuff that will help our children to learn in and for the 21st century.
