[Debate] Challenging the Promise of Personalized Learning - WISE 2014

In order to move away from the traditional “one-size-fits-all” factory model of education, some consider personalized learning as an alternative. Personalized learning can address the distinct learning aspirations, needs and cultural backgrounds of individual students. Should personalized learning be developed on a large scale?

How do we avoid going from “one-size-fits-all” to a “free-for-all”?
