3. Four big points about the impact of technology on learning

4. Broadband facilitates networked information / networked knowledge

5. Mobile connectivity alters learning venues and expectations

6. Social media aid peer-to-peer learning by doing

7. New kinds of learning can occur in networked spaces: Traits of networked learning • Can be place-agnostic • Can exploit augmented reality • Can have gaming sensibilities • Can exploit feedback and analytics • Can be DIY and self-paced • Can be experiential, participatory • Can be just-in time, real time • Can draw on peers and their networks

8. 3 technology revolutions drive the changes

9. First: Internet – 1995-2014 http://bit.ly/1dE8jFV

10. Broadband at home - 70% (+10% more have smartphones) Broadband at home Dial-up at home

11. Broadband facilitates networked information and networked knowledge • Volume, velocity, variety of information grow • Information is pervasively created and pervasively consumed – new platforms / formats • New literacies take account of flows and filters • Knowledge is more openly contested and edited • Self-paced learning is facilitated • More refined analytics are enabled

12. Second: Mobile connectivity – Cell phones http://bit.ly/1dE8jFV

13. Second: Mobile connectivity - Smartphones http://bit.ly/1dE8jFV

14. Second: Mobile connectivity – Tablets Have either one Tablet owners E-reader owners http://www.pewinternet.org/2014/01/16/e-reading-rises-as-device-ownership-jumps/

15. Mobile connectivity alters learning venues and expectations • New access points to learning in an any time, anywhere, any device era • Attention zones change • Real time sharing and just-in-time searching are enabled • The “metaverse” brings augmented reality • Pervasive awareness and access to social networks

16. Third: Social networking/media - 61% of all adults % of internet users

18. Social media aid peer-to-peer learning by doing • Social media are the new neighborhood • Participation and experiential learning are more encouraged • “Amateur experts” arise and peer coaching is facilitated • Social networks expand and diversify • Social networks become even more important in the learning process

20. What is the future of learning?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities” Old: Learning as transaction New: Learning as a process Knowledge is objective and certain Knowledge is subjective and provisional

21. What is the future of learning?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities” Old: Learning as transaction New: Learning as a process Learners receive knowledge Learners create knowledge

22. What is the future of learning?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities” Old: Learning as transaction New: Learning as a process Knowledge is organized in stable, hierarchical structures that can be treated independently of one another Knowledge is organized “ecologically”-disciplines are integrative and interactive

23. What is the future of learning?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities” Old: Learning as transaction New: Learning as a process We learn best passively, by listening and watching We learn best actively doing and managing our own learning

24. What is the future of learning?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities” Old: Learning as transaction New: Learning as a process Our “intelligence” is based on our individual abilities Our “intelligence” is based on our networks

25. Be not afraid
