The document discusses opportunities for user experience (UX) design to impact the future of learning using new technologies. It notes that students now learn using mobile phones, Google, Wikipedia, online courses, and social media rather than traditional textbooks. The author argues that UX design could help gather learning materials, enable practice in realistic settings, support test preparation, and track student behaviors and outcomes to improve education. Major opportunities exist to provide customized learning services and apply UX principles to the main tasks of gathering information, practicing skills, and assessing understanding.
