Understanding Levels of Unbundled Learning
Unbundled learning can be defined at multiple levels, starting with the curriculum, where teachers adapt content to personalize learning experiences. At the course level, the rise of online courses allows students to select classes beyond their school's offerings, enhancing their educational choices. School choice represents the third level, with options such as charter schools and micro schools giving students diverse learning environments aligned to their needs and preferences. Finally, the ecosystem level pushes boundaries even further by facilitating learning opportunities that extend beyond traditional classroom settings, allowing students to curate individualized educational pathways.
