This document discusses the future of mobile development and how constant change will impact it. Over the past 18 years, mobile technology has advanced significantly from early devices like the Blackberry and Windows Mobile to modern smartphones like the iPhone and Android. However, some things have remained constant like performance issues, battery life frustrations, and how users get accustomed to new technologies quickly. The future of mobile is unknown, but boundaries between native, web and cloud will blur and users will be in control. Devices will act as hubs and sync smartly while wearables grow. Developers must embrace change, focus on content over apps, and optimize for performance and ubiquity across diverse platforms.

The document discusses trends in blended learning and the future of education. It notes that a new generation of students who grew up with technology will have different expectations than current students. Blended learning, using a virtual learning environment (VLE) combined with in-person teaching, will be important. However, the current VLE (LUVLE) may not meet future needs as it was designed for different purposes and lacks flexibility. Going forward, a VLE should actively engage both teachers and students, track progress, and facilitate collaboration using modern technologies like wireless networks and mobile devices. The best path is to choose a VLE that prioritizes user-friendliness, flexibility and motivation over any single platform.

Werk je nog niet langer dan drie jaar bij ROC Leiden en heb je de behoefte om jezelf te (blijven) ontwikkelen? Denk dan eens aan intervisie! In een intervisiegroep leer je met en van elkaar.
Intervisie is recent binnen ROC Leiden opgezet om nieuwe collega’s de kans te geven regelmatig, in een kleine vaste groep, werkervaringen te bespreken. Doel: met nog meer deskundigheid en plezier aan het werk zijn en blijven!
In deze workshop maken jullie kennis met intervisie door er op verschillende manieren mee bezig te gaan. Al pratend, vragend of op een creatieve manier ervaar je wat intervisie is en wat het mogelijk voor jou kan betekenen.
