The future of learning

The future of learning... James Clay Gloucestershire College Gloucestershire College Gloucestershire College

So what is the future of learning?

Before we look to the future, we need to look to the past...

Six weeks off so we can get the harvest in...

Do you want one device which does four things badly or a device which does one thing well?

Change?

Management of Change?

So you plan to take small steps, one at a time....

What do you do if a step is missing?

What do you do if a step is broken?

Isn’t it quicker to avoid the steps and jump down?

We need to be responsive to changes in technology and society.

We need to focus on activity and not creating content.

We need to build in flexibility.

We need to share resources, context and activities.

We need to collaborate and work together.

We need to reward and ensure innovation.

We need to encourage experimentation.

We need to change the way we assess.

It’s all about changing the culture.

Use technology as a solution not just because it is cool technology.

The future?

The future is learners.

Learners choosing how and where they learn.

Using a wide range of resources and technologies.

Mobile technologies are not just for the young.

Not all young people are “digital natives”. The term is not helpful.

Learners want to learn where they want to.

It’s all about the learners, young old, whoever.

Learners

Any questions?
