One of the major global problems is bringing learning to everyone on earth, at all ages. Current lockstep cookie-cutter approaches will not accomplish this, because students differ widely. We need learning that continuously adapts to the needs of each student and that allows each student to stay at an area until mastery is attained, possible now with appropriate computer-based learning units, adaptive tutorial learning. This paper introduces this approach to learning, and discusses how to reach everyone with such units. We suggest beginning with a three year experiment for young children, and if successful with further activities in this direction. Twenty years is estimated to be the time to attain the goal. A detailed schedule is available

This tutorial will show the participants how to design adaptive tutorial learning units for the computer. It will also consider briefly implementation and evaluation of the designs.

The current literature and practice often mentions elearning. But elearning is often not successful. We suggest an alternative approach, alearning or adaptive learning. The format is tutorial, an approach to adaptive learning that can work anywhere in the world.

The purpose of this research was to construct an adaptive test on the computer. Adaptive testing is a new strategy of evaluation for computer-assisted learning and e-learning. Adaptive testing provides more efficient test administration and intelligent learning evaluation. It is expected to increase the accuracy of estimating the learners true ability with taking less appropriate selecting questions for individuals. Item response theory (IRT) is the main theoretical base to make tests adaptive and feasible. Adaptive testing requires high speed calculation to process the complicated IRT functions, which is fortunately the advantage of computers.

The author describes the experience of two children using learning programs on a computer in a public library in 1989. The author then outlines a scenario for 2003 where a laboratory conducts a global experiment in highly interactive tutorial learning, through the use of the computer, to determine if this method should be widely employed. The author then describes a future scenario for 2020 where te use of voice activated computers are used for interactive learning in an Indian town.

As we begin to address the global problems of learning, we note that there are many different languages and cultures in the world. If learning material is to be usable with many students in the world, we need to be concerned with the cultural and language differences among students. We need global materials that meet individual cultural needs. This paper discusses the Irvine-Geneva development strategy and how it supports, and can be made to support further, development of global materials.
