Technology and the future of education, learning, knowledge and universities ...Gerd Leonhard
These are the slides I used for my presentation in TheHaque NL on Nov 8 2013 see http://www.futuristgerd.com/2013/11/07/here-are-my-presentations-at-dehaagse-hogeschool-in-thehaque-nl-today/ Topics: screenification of education, p2p learning, from data to knowledge to wisdom, artificial intelligence and human learning, the impact of technology on how universities operate, customization and much more. Will there be 'Kodak Moments' for universities?
If you enjoy my slideshares please take a look at my new book “Technology vs Humanity” http://www.techvshuman.com or buy it via Amazon http://gerd.fm/globalTVHamazon

About my new book: are you ready for the greatest changes in recent human history? Futurism meets humanism in Gerd Leonhard’s ground-breaking new work of critical observation, discussing the multiple Megashifts that will radically alter not just our society and economy but our values and our biology. Wherever you stand on the scale between technomania and nostalgia for a lost world, this is a book to challenge, provoke, warn and inspire.
Wearable Technology - Learning, Connecting, Monitoring and Posing Seymourpowell
Probably the most discussed technological advancements since the iPhone was introduced, wearable technology embodies the unavoidable and fascinating era of enmeshing computers and advanced electronic technologies onto our selves – through accessories and clothing. In sci-fi speak – it is the biological integration of electromechanical elements for the benefit of the human self. Cyborgs, then.
In this article I will explore four key questions with wearables –
Will wearable technology make us more skilful?
Will it make us more connected?
Will it make us healthier?
Will it be stylish?
In each, I will strive to understand the potential and concern for technology in these areas and explore how effective this tech is at replacing something inferior, or not.

Teaching with Technology: Social Media Tools and Mobile Apps for Secondary S...Cheryl Peltier-Davis
There is significant value in using Social Media and Mobile Apps in education. Within this area, social media tools such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and WordPress share a common usage in supporting communication, collaboration, news aggregation, teaching, learning and knowledge sharing. This workshop highlights some of the core competencies (professional and personal) required for teachers to function effectively in a technologically driven environment and introduces social media tools and mobile apps that can be easily adopted and adapted (‘mashed up’) in the classroom. The goal is to share a toolkit of free online resources with secondary school teachers who are willing to use emerging technologies to engage their students in the classroom.

There is significant value in using Social Media and Mobile Apps in education. Within this area, social media tools such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and WordPress share a common usage in supporting communication, collaboration, news aggregation, teaching, learning and knowledge sharing. This workshop highlights some of the core competencies (professional and personal) required for teachers to function effectively in a technologically driven environment and introduces social media tools and mobile apps that can be easily adopted and adapted (‘mashed up’) in the classroom. The goal is to share a toolkit of free online resources with primary school teachers who are willing to use emerging technologies to engage their students in the classroom.
As the volume of free internet resources continue to grow exponentially there are opportunities for stakeholders in education – parents, teachers, administrators and policy makers - to facilitate community access to this e-content. This presentation focuses on free social media tools, mobile apps and other innovative technologies which have been adopted by educators in 21st century global communities. Attendees will learn about the latest trends in cloud storage, crowdfunding, ebooks, makerspaces, MOOCs, news aggregation, photo/video sharing, self-publishing, social networking, bookmarking, video conferencing, visualization services and augmented reality. The goal – to promote ‘Tech Tools’ which can be easily integrated into the home and working environment.
Normal Schools are entrusted with setting the norm for teaching practices – so what does this mean as we face the imperative to adapt our education system to a future filled with disruption and uncertainty?
By learning from the past, envisioning the future, and embracing the challenges of today, we can create an education system that empowers young minds to thrive in a world of constant change.
This keynote will explore the transformative journey towards preparing young people for the challenges and opportunities ahead while equipping teachers to navigate this ever-evolving landscape.

Session two of a series of keynotes talks at the University of the Sunshine Coast
Visualisation and Simulation:
“The future is human, and the future of learning is immersive. In the future, learning will take the shape of a story, a play, a game; involving multiple platforms and players; driven by dialogue and augmented with technology, an interplay of immersive experiences, data, and highly social virtual worlds” State of XR and Immersive Learning Outlook Report (2021 p 21)
Debbie contributed to the Delphi study above, , and to the updated with findings due this June. This session will consider the opportunities afforded by Visualisation and Simulation; and discuss ways in which educators can draw upon both lo-tec and hi-tech solutions in a range of disciplinary contexts; and consider what digital futures may offer us as educators, as well as those we educate, our students.
From Digital Literacy to Digital FluencyDavid Cain
While our students may appear to be digital natives, they rarely have the capacity to make wise or ethical decisions as they construct their digital identities. As educators, we have a moral imperative to guide our students--even in an ever-changing digital landscape.

Digital technologies are used more and more in higher education; however, the system of higher education has changed to a lesser extent. In this keynote I will explore how new technologies could help to learn better and faster in the future without the inflexibilities of the current higher educational systems. I will explore answers to discussions on questions like:
1) What do future learners actually need to learn and why? Issues: factual knowledge can be found easily on demand; more and more tasks can be performed better by computers & robots.
2) How do learners learn? Issues: can we learn in a more personalised way and in our own tempo, without losing the social aspect of learning, how can be better connect to interests and pre-knowledge? How can we learn faster?
3) Where do learners learn? Issues: schools, universities, at home, at work, what is the importance of face-to-face contacts in higher education?
4) When do future learners learn? Issues: is it really needed to learn a couple of years in isolation before starting to work

Hospitality schools awards best communication istudentLukas Ritzel
over 200 Students from IMI Hotel Managment School in Switzerland Luzern where researching and gathering all those so important bits and pieces of information which they need to make Luzern for their 2-3 years of international studies in the field of hospitality management and wrapped it all into a free iphone apps as the worlds first ever international student guide. It is giving information about the lovely city of Luzern/ Lucerne on 7 catagories like Top Info, Top Rumours, Why Luzern?, Do's and Don'ts, Education, Food and Student Gems
To commemorate the twentieth anniversary of IMI, there was a wonderful collaboration with Four Forests International Primary School in Luzern.
The pupils were asked to paint their impressions of a birthday celebration and a Hotel School. IMI works hard to forge strong links with the local community in Luzern and hopes that some of these budding artists may be the students of tomorrow.
As a reward for their artistic endeavours and hard work, the pupils were invited to IMI in Kastanienbaum to the formal restaurant known as the Swiss Room. Here they were waited on with Silver Service by our Culinary and BA students.

Our entry is a whole term at our international university centre focused on Creativity & Innovation for all stakeholders
Within the slides we try to describe all the various (many of them still ongoing) activities, their positive outcomes for student/staff/institute
the core themes are in the need for creative solutions in the industry, leadership development, new solutions and innovation in society (diversity, inclusivity and technology)
Since this particular term is still ongoing (2008) we have setup a project specific wiki where we constantely update the individual projects through text and images (done on some pages by students, others by staff)
This WIKI can be seen and used by anyone (other schools for example) as a kind of benchmark for similar ideas at any other school.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. Learning for digital natives
connected to life
By Lukas Ritzel, Luzern, Switzerland, June 27, 2014
Academic References: Grenoble Graduate School of business, Harward extension, Asian
Institute of Technology
Business References: Accenture global consultant
Highlights: Purple Cow award winner, TEDx speaker, management thinking mistakes app

1
2. 3 facts which influence education beyond 2014
• Smart or not so smart machines
• Microworlds of learning
• Augmented learning
2
3. Good news!
• Education gets better
• Digital natives know more than their parents
(Don Tapscott)
– “The smartest generation ever”
http://dontapscott.com/tag/digital-natives/ 3
4. Bad news!
• Nobody can
cooperate with
the speed of
knowledge
• We get dumb
and dumper by
the day
– Kjell A. Nordström
4
5. So how can we prepare our future
thinkers and managers best?
• Don’ learn facts and figures, don’t plan
• Learn how to search and find the answer right
on the spot, right when you need them
• (side effect: more time for other skills to learn)
5
6. How to do? Google it
• Today’s students learn quick on how to handle
new information
– Can I re-google it? > Yes > forget it asap
– Can I NOT re-google it? > Store immediate
6
7. There is all here what is needed,
Internet gets mobile, right now!
7
8. Some countries leapfrog completely
into a mobile hi-speed internet
• This is again
good news
for India and
many other
countries
http://www.jpost.com/Business/Business-News/Indias-leapfrogging-mobile-development-an-opportunity-for-Israeli-companies-326872 8
10. English is the dominant business language
http://www.forbes.com/sites/dorieclark/2012/10/26/english-the-language-of-global-business/ 10
11. ... again good news for India
http://www.ef.edu/__/~/media/efcom/epi/2014/full-reports/ef-epi-2013-report-master-new.pdf 11
12. What about Bhutan?
• Still some
space for
improvement
http://www.southasianmedia.net/stories/bhutan/english-language-media/bhutanese-students-can-t-speak-english-as-expected-study-shows-story 12
13. Asking a machine?
Good idea?
• It already once went wrong
in a very famous science
fiction movie:
• HAL 9000 is a fictional
character in Arthur C.
Clarke's Space Odyssey
series. The primary
antagonist of 2001: A Space
Odyssey, HAL (Heuristically
programmed ALgorithmic
computer) is a sentient
computer (or artificial
intelligence) that controls
the systems of the Discovery
One spacecraft and interacts
with the ship's astronaut
crew.
13
15. How good is Google in giving you the
right answers?
• Not so smart Google Switzerland
15
16. What about Google Canada?
.. and more sophisticated search algorithms
• More to come:
check
Wolfram|Alpha
which introduces a
fundamentally
new way to get
knowledge and
answers—
• not by searching
the web, but by
doing dynamic
computations
based on a vast
collection of built-
in data,
algorithms,
linguistic analysis
and methods.
http://www.wolframalpha.com/about.html
16
21. Most of you have not been there and
you may never want to go there?
• Partly because of Google
21
22. • Because this is
what Google
shows to you for
pages over pages
when you google
«Iraq»
22
23. Therefore we may ask the question, can we
trust Google, can we trust the machine?
• What will this be for a world if we base our
decision on google-ing for it?
• .. and is it really all there, the big Ocean of
free borderless internet?
23
25. • There is a famous TEDx video “Beware online
“filter bubbles” with Eli Pariser. He talks about the
fact that we get trapped in a “filter bubble” and
don’t get exposed to information that could
challenge or broaden our worldview.
• Eli Pariser argues powerfully that this will
ultimately prove to be bad for us and bad for
democracy. The main reason for the existence of
this filter bubble is the fact that the algorithms
that are shaping our digital world are too simple-
minded, rather than too smart.
25
26. The YOU-Internet distorts and limits
http://www.ghacks.net/2012/10/15/googles-filter-bubble-is-a-scary-thing/ 26
27. Based on your prior activities, the Web
knows you better and better
http://blog.newswhip.com/index.php/2013/02/are-living-filter-bubble
27
28. Must we complain?
• it's something we exhibit
naturally and encourage.
Indeed, it's just a
demand which is now
meeting new bounties
of supply.
• Knowing that we, as a
species, are inclined this
way, is it any wonder
that the Filter Bubble
exists? Or that it is
becoming more
powerful with each new
app update and data
stream?
28
29. What to learn?
• Clever (critical) usage of the ‘machine’
• Making students aware of the chances and
the dangers of current powerful search
available
• Invest in softskills (critical thinking, creativity
& sustainability)
29
34. What to learn?
• Create and collaborate in
mobile learning activities
• Ensure the availability of
micro learning components in
a edutaining way to support
the mindset and interest of
today’s digital natives
• Create the Angry Bird of
learning
34
35. But as well advanced technologies themselves
will transform future education
35
36. Open up new worlds
• Using visual cues in the
environment, AR uses
mobile devices to overlay
a digital world on top of
the real world.
• Projects like HealthCARe
enable students to gain
contextual information on
health care issues simply
by pointing their phone at
an object or space
Watch for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMWdFadqjg0 36
37. Augmented Learning
• AR will play an increasing
role in teaching and
learning, as well as in the
way institutions provide
support services and
information to students
and staff. The
interactions between the
physical and virtual
environments of the
student will become
increasingly blurred, as
will the boundaries
between the body and
the device.
Watch AR and Math http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uycBwTXdKM 37
38. Form Factors
• The emergence of Augmented Reality as a serious mobile
trend for education also marks the growing intimacy between
the device and our bodies. The augmentation of realities will
be mirrored with a augmentation between the device and the
body. Increasingly the ‘form-factors’ we are used to (the
mobile phone, tablet) will gradually be superseded by new
forms: earpieces, glasses and sensors.
http://www.glassappsource.com/google-glass/google-glass-can-used-education.html
38
39. What to learn?
• Keep updated on wearable technologies and be
ensured that it will have a huge influence on
education and lead to a more connected learning
for all students of this world
• Same as the internet with tools like Wikipedia has
opened up the libraries and knowledge of the
world to anybody (free, anytime, anywhere)
waerable technologies combined with
augmented reality will bring the whole world to
just everybody (experienceable, interactive)

Hello to Bhutan and happy to finally be at this mystical place (at least virtually)
Some facts
Switzerland has as well mountains
In 2006, Business Week rated Bhutan as the happiest country in Asia and the eighth happiest country in the world.
I want to speak about 3 mega trends which happen right now and do influence current and future education
First some good news about global education
Despite some critical voices on the mindest and capacity of today’s net generation
There are some good news
A good book from Tapscott
But there are as well bad news
We can not cooperate with the speed of knowledge therefore we actually all get dumb and dumper by the day
We as Gen X still try desperate to keep updated and read every article on technology and always hope that we no finally know it
But the netGen has found other solutions according to cyber guru Kjell Nordström
Positive side effect is that we do actually have time for more essential topics
Understanding the logic behind rather than learning by heart
Asking the RIGHT questions at the RIGHT time
Kjell Nordström went so far to indicate that students learn a la Google and use their brains in a slightly different way than we did
Specially if facing a complex lesson with a professor at the university or school
We are currently at the turn where more Internet is consumed mobile than at the office, home or at starbucks
On the go
During those short moments between breaks, waiting for the bus, in the public transport
For example the swiss will consult their mobile devices even before leaving bed and checking their personal social networks and local news, before the Muesli, Cafe and shower
Specially for some of the lesser developed countries this move is to their advantage
Some simply leapfrog completely into a mobile hi-speed internet > India or some countries in Africa where landlines have never been build
Bhutan certainly a late joiner but since then a success story
Internet and mobile access steadily on the increase
Fact is we do google, and we google more and more
Every question, we google it
Fun fact: one of the very common search phrases in Google is: What is the meaning of Life?
And as we can see, mobile search is competing strongly and will clearly become the most dominant search channel
But then it is only logic that we must ask ourselves
How good is Google in giving you the right answers?
What about Google Canada? A bit better already, Google gives us and answer
.. and more sophisticated search algorithms
More to come: check Wolfram|Alpha which introduces a fundamentally new way to get knowledge and answers—
not by searching the web, but by doing dynamic computations based on a vast collection of built-in data, algorithms, linguistic analysis and methods.
There is certainly a lot more to be expect if it comes to more clever search algorithms, we are only at the beginning of smart internet and big data mining
Having those stats we must therefore ask ourselves how influencial is Google as an opinion maker for our netGen students, gowing up with it as THEIR daily tool, their personal info trainer?
Are we ready, is Google ready and doing a good job in providing our furture decision makers with relvant, ballanced and correct answers to their questions?
What if we ask a simple question like “Switzerland” in the Google image search?
Hardly any surprise, mountains, landscapes, snow and blue sky
I have been there, beautiful country, nice people, huge history and many stories to tell
Not much words needed to move on to the next mega trend
MOBILE
What is different in the (smart) mobile world?
Always on
Always with us
Always connected
Highly personalized through personal information and individual apps setup
Living in a micro world, mini games, mini tasks, one need = one app for it
And this must be considered if we want to profit from this for academics rather new dominant channel for netGen students
Loved from netGen not truly understand by older generations
In the mobile world all happens at a micro level
there will be an increased blurring of the boundaries between learning, working and living. Mobiles already support skills development in a range of fields including agriculture and healthcare, and provide paying job opportunities for mobile-based ‘microwork’.
MXit is Africa’s largest homegrown mobile social network. With over 50 million users, the South Africa-founded service not only allows its mostly young users to stay in touch by text chatting, it also facilitates live tutoring on maths homework.
Dr Maths on MXit has helped 30,000 school-aged children work through maths problems by connecting them with maths tutors for live chat sessions. The service is effective for two reasons: it is cheap – the actual service is free but users pay a minimal data charge to their mobile providers – and it operates in the evenings, when learners need help with homework. For many children in South Africa, this is the most qualified tutor that they will have access to.
To make a real impact mobile learning, initiatives must – and do in Africa – cater to the full range of technology contexts and its NOT only for iPhones and Android smart devices but as well for much more simpler phones.
An example is Nokia Life, an information service with over 70 million subscribers in India, China, Indonesia and Nigeria. Popular information channels in Nigeria deliver preparation tips for middle and high school exams, health education aimed at families and English language learning.
The service uses SMS, meaning it does not need mobile data coverage that is not as widely implemented in many places.
Nokia Life Tools was preceded by a pilot called Mera Nokia, in the state of Maharashtra in India in early 2009. After the successful pilot, a wider commercial deployment of the service under the name Nokia Life Tools began in India in June 2009. The first two supported devices were the Nokia 2323 Classic and Nokia 2330 Classic devices, English and the services in India supported 11 local languages. (Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Bengali, Telugu, Punjabi, Kannada, Malayalam, Assamese and Oriya).
The service has later been expanded to Indonesia in November 2009, China in May 2010 and Nigeria in November 2010.
The service has been created from the ground-up, having teams in local markets where they work with government organizations, NGOs, universities and reputed partners and content providers.
The educational tools provide simple English and general knowledge courses in local languages, as well as study modules in a variety of state and ICSE board topics, including history, geography, biology, physics and chemistry. In India, it also includes a service that allows students to retrieve their exam results through their NLT app.
Another such valuable mobile learning tool is worldreader
Worldreader is a non-profit on a mission to bring digital books to every child and her family, so that they can improve their lives. Sponsor a school and give children all the books they need to learn and change their lives.
Create and collaborate in mobile learning activities
Ensure the availability of micro learning components in a edutaining way to support the mindset and interest of today’s digital natives
Create the Angry Bird of learning
Last but not least but certainly something whhich will not happen today
But tomorrow and once again it will revolutionize not only the way we will make use of the internet BUT as well have a huge impact on edcuation
It is simply too good to be not successful
And it has to do with Mobile Realities
The mobile devices that we have upon us will, increasingly, also be the filters through which we view reality. Augmented Reality (AR) will be the next transformative technology to change the way in which we interact with the world, and our institutions.
Its difficult to explain and therefore i suggest in case you have not yet seen AR in action, just search for it in YouTube and you will find exciting samples of AR linked to almost any situation of life, interest, profession and academics
But there is as well a theoretical definition: Using visual cues in the environment, AR uses mobile devices to overlay a digital world on top of the real world. Projects like HealthCARe enable students to gain contextual information on health care issues simply by pointing their phone at an object or space
AR will play an increasing role in teaching and learning, as well as in the way institutions provide support services and information to students and staff. The interactions between the physical and virtual environments of the student will become increasingly blurred, as will the boundaries between the body and the device.
The emergence of Augmented Reality as a serious mobile trend for education also marks the growing intimacy between the device and our bodies. The augmentation of realities will be mirrored with a augmentation between the device and the body. Increasingly the ‘form-factors’ we are used to (the mobile phone, tablet) will gradually be superseded by new forms: earpieces, glasses and sensors.
Mobile Forms
The history of our recent technologies is one of carefully repackaging the artifacts of our lives in smaller and smaller boxes. The zenith of this miniaturisation is mobile computing. Increasingly, however, these boxes are being unpacked, and the technologies of mobile computing are being reconfigured in new forms.
The emergence of Augmented Reality as a serious mobile trend for education also marks the growing intimacy between the device and our bodies. The augmentation of realities will be mirrored with a augmentation between the device and the body. Increasingly the ‘form-factors’ we are used to (the mobile phone, tablet) will gradually be superseded by new forms: earpieces, glasses and sensors.
This evolution of form could have some interesting implications for institutions. If BYOD (bring your own device) creates issues for institutions supporting user-owned technologies, then a fragmented, decentralised mobile form could increase those problems of support exponentially.
Devices will become hyper-personalised, and this will impact on the experience students will expect from the institutions that deliver their education.
Keep updated on wearable technologies and be ensured that it will have a huge influence on education and lead to a more connected learning for all students of this world
Same as the internet with tools like Wikipedia has opened up the libraries and knowledge of the world to anybody (free, anytime, anywhere) waerable technologies combined with augmented reality will bring the whole world to just everybody (experienceable, interactive)
