According to this article, "The Compass provides a method for thinking about governance and implementation of technologies holistically to help education systems navigate technological change while keeping human rights, democracy and the rule of law at the centre." The 'compass' has two major axes: "the governance of people and the governance of processes"; and "education with AI and education about AI." There are four layers: exploration, integration, implementation, and transformation. Around the outside are eight interconnected systems. The intent is fir the compass to be a guide, not a destination, and it's a nice metaphor, but I'm not sure it advances discourse in any particular way.
