Abstract :
21st century Learning is learning in a knowledge era. Change is necessary to foster new ways of learning to address 20th century shortcomings in learning that mostly catered to the traits of Gen-X. A transition is required to deal with the traits of Gen-Y. Global access to educational content at any time has diminished the functions of schools as information deliverers. To foster non-assessment based learning, there is a need to provoke learning in multiple dimensions. QTiME learning is such a framework formulating learning dimensions, quadrants and steps that are simplistic, universal, actionable, cyclical and continuous - a paradigm shift.
