‘Learning is critical to the future of our world and yet our current education systems are facing unprecedented challenges. I believe that the effectiveness of how the world achieves genuine lifelong learning is reliant, to a substantial degree, on how well we harness the power of the network to connect and engage learners and educators alike, and to provide access to our collective resources and knowledge. It comes down to scale. Traditional education systems alone, despite the essential role they have played, and will continue to play, in learning, are simply not capable of serving the world’s growing and changing needs.’ (Cisco The Learning Society 2010).
