The document discusses how artificial intelligence and personalized learning are shaping education. It notes that video games, virtual worlds, and social networks can be used to re-engage students and adjust gameplay based on their capabilities and motivations. Artificial intelligence drawing on crowd-sourcing can dynamically adapt learning experiences. The key messages are that education will increasingly adopt best practices from immersive technologies and games, use e-portfolios and avatars linked to activity logs and preferences, and personalize learning from early childhood through life using technology to support interventions.

 TEL is adopting best practices from immersive technologies such as
video games, virtual worlds and social networks
 E-portfolio will be based on a customisable personal avatar linked to
activity logs, preferences and social networks
 Artificial intelligence, drawing on crowd sourcing, will use inferences
to dynamically adapt the learning experience to the capabilities and
motivations of the learner
 Companies will increasingly use games to recruit, assess and
develop staff
 Learners will contribute their experiences directly or indirectly to
generating and shaping knowledge
 Learning and development will be personalised from cradle to grave
using technology to support interventions by learning coaches and
mentors
