Traditional education is a product of the 19th century: mass-produced programs, delivered in a teacher-centric, ‘one-to-many’ format. In that model, learning was organized around the needs of teachers and institutions, while content and objectives were imposed upon the learner, rather than being chosen by him. He was forced to adapt to the needs of the system.
These days, we’re seeing a reversal of these longstanding educational practices and the emergence of an alternative educational model. The change is driven by technology and it’s effecting a fundamental shift away from the teacher-centric learning model, towards a learner-centric one.
With the internet as platform, teaching and instruction can now be configured around the learning process and the needs of the learner, rather than those of the teacher or institution. The new instructional design is multi-dimensional, and dynamic. It offers more access, greater choice, and the flexibility for the individual to learn on his own terms.
Learner-centric technologies based on a strong pedagogical foundation, will define how people learn in the Information Age. As of yet, however, we are still in the early stages of the Learning Revolution.
We believe that the convergence of learning and technology will offer great opportunity to the visionary companies who can deliver value through the new tech and new pedagogies that life-long learning requires. It was in this context that Praxis Language was founded in 2006.
With the phenomenal popularity of its ChinesePod and its other LanguagePod brands, Praxis Language has demonstrated its global leadership in the realms of language learning in the Web 2.0 era.
