I met Alfredo de la Rosa miamiartscharter.net who introduced me to a school called Colegio Fontan in Colombia.

Dennis Littky's schools in the USA, Australia and Europe are based on personal learning plans and portfolios that support learning through internships.  See BigPicture.org

The Colegio Fontan uses computers to track students and "analysts" help students evaluate their progress (teachers who are guides on the side).  Students work for mastery (the courses are pass/fail) and "time is a variable."

Here are some screen shots from a video:
