A  number of 21st century learning frameworks have emerged in respond to the calls. This talk summarizes the common  dimensions  of  21st century  learning  and  reports  several  case  studies  that measured students‘ perception of some aspects of 21st century learning. Challenges that teachers face in designing and implementing the ICT based lesson; and consequently reflecting and refining the learning packages will be discussed. In sum, our experiences of fostering 21st century quality learning reveal the  importance of continuous co- construction of knowledge among teachers and researchers through the full cycle of reflective design and implementation
