This document discusses emerging trends in education including increased use of social media, virtual worlds, personal learning networks, visual learning, and mobile devices. It notes that learners are becoming more self-directed, collaborative, and oriented toward peer feedback. New technologies like augmented reality, games, and wearable devices are changing the learning landscape. The future of learning will be more social, collaborative, visual, and integrated across virtual and real worlds. For tools to be effective, it is important to select the right tool for the job and support instructors through professional development.
