	Support is differentiated to accommodate differences in experiences and individual learning need
Individualisation	Individualised learning pathways are flexible and responsive to learner needs	Reflect on and evaluate the findings of the inquiry to propose individual and collective action in response to a contemporary geographical challenge, taking account of environmental, economic and social considerations; and explain the predicted outcomes and consequences of their proposal (ACHGS071)
	Learners have common and discretionary materials, and different, context-based ways of engaging with materials

	Learner control, individually determined activity, interaction and different learning spaces are central	Reflect on and evaluate the findings of the inquiry to propose individual and collective action in response to a contemporary geographical challenge, taking account of environmental, economic and social considerations; and explain the predicted outcomes and consequences of their proposal (ACHGS071)

Connected learning	Learning is both individual and collaborative. Complexity can only be obtained when multiple perspectives are negotiated
	The learner is a part of a local learning community	The way transportation and information and communication technologies are used to connect people to services, information and people in other places (ACHGK066)
	The learner is part of a disciplinary community
	The learner is part of a broader local, regional and national community
	The learner is a core participant in a global learning community	The way transportation and information and communication technologies are used to connect people to services, information and people in other places (ACHGK066)
