The Future of IB

By tmrak
  • Founding of the IB

  • IB's First Exams

  • Middle Years Program established

  • Primary Years Program established

  • Use of computers in writing exams

    The writing of online exams seems to be a developing trend in curricular systems around the world. With all the 1-to-1 laptop programs around the world, this seems like a natural development.
  • 5000 IB World Schools

    Although the pace of adding new schools has seemed to peak, the rate is still really high. This seems like a reasonable timeline.
  • Fully Interactive Online Teaching of DP Courses

    The IB is a world-renowned program, but it's not available everywhere. By providing online teachers and an interactive e-classroom (complete with lectures, discussions, expectations for live presentations, all facilitated through online seminars), students who are in a place with no access to an IB school could still acquire the full diploma with a more authentic experience that wouldn't be available to those completing more typical online courses.
