Back to the four things that I think I know

Mobile connectivity is changing social and information spaces by enhancing/enabling:
New access points to knowledge
E-books and the cloud
Conversation starter for internet use and chatter
Real-time information sharing
Opportunism and pain avoidance
“ Hyper-coordination” of group activities

Mobile connectivity is changing social and information spaces by enhancing/enabling:
Just-in-time searches
New “smarts”
New cognition
Perpetual, pervasive awareness/access to social networks
Deeper connection and consultation
Incentive “to network” via social media
Augmented reality
Merger of real world and data
New kinds of learning amplification

Continuous partial attention in “streams”
2. Ubiquitous small screens are changing attention and media zones (including text-based media!)

Immersive experiences and deep dives

Info-snacking

Day dreaming

3. Mobile connectivity is changing public and private space/time continuum
Anywhere Any device Any time Alone together

4. New kinds of learners are emerging in the digital environment
More self directed, less top-down
Better arrayed to capture new information inputs
More reliant on feedback and response
More inclined to collaboration
More open to cross discipline insights and creating their own “tagged” taxonomies
More oriented towards people being their own individual nodes of production

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

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

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

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

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