Open edu into_the_future_oer19
This document discusses open education and the future of learning. It covers several topics: 1) The phases and affordances of digital technologies in education, including their ability to enable interaction, help with retention, and personalize learning. 2) Opportunities that technologies provide for extending the classroom and providing timely feedback, but that their impact depends on how they are used. 3) Top trends in education, such as how technology is changing learners' identities and the nature of work. 4) Open practices like OER, MOOCs, and e-textbooks and how they can make education more complex, personalized and contextual.
