Introduction

0.1

Vision
Every learner deserves unlimited unbundled opportunities to explore, engage and define experiences that advance their progress along a co-designed educational pathway.
0.2

Introduction
Since the advent of formal education, learning has been bundled. The time for change is now.
0.3

Definitions
In order to shift to a truly unbundled system of learning, we must get some clarity and alignment on some core terms.
0.4

Principles
Six core principles guide the unbundled system. As each element of the system is built, designers should evaluate and reflect around these core principles.
0.5

Elements
For an unbundled system to meet all of the core principles, core structural elements must exist. A fully decentralized education system would entail a distributed set of learning experiences to which any education creator might contribute.

Building the Unbundled Ecosystem

1.0

Building the Unbundled Ecosystem
1.1

Unbundling the Ecosystem
Unbundling the learning ecosystem occurs at the policy and systems level. Policy includes laws and rules that allow for unbundled learning. Systems are structures that support unbundled learning.
1.2

Building Competencies
Most typical education ecosystems require permission. A fully unbundled ecosystem may be permissionless, that is a student can choose whatever pathway they like with whomever they would like and learn whatever they would like.
1.3

Designing Learning Experiences
Unbundled systems need to decrease the grain size to the learning experience level so that learners can build pathways that make sense relative to their future goals by reassembling a set of learning experiences.
1.4

Curating the Opportunities
Once the ecosystem is unbundled, the opportunities must be curated in an equitable, accessible format. A variety of efforts exist to begin to move this unbundled curation system forward.
1.5

Rebundling Learning
Learners in partnership with coaches co-design and bundle learning experience pathways that consist of content access, skill development, instruction, and assessment from a variety of sources.
