The document discusses emerging technologies for learning including distributed cloud computing, smart mobile technology, collaborative intelligent filtering, 3D visualization, and learner analytics. It argues that these technologies will transform learning by taking classrooms into the real world through ubiquitous connectivity between personal devices, augmented reality, and connecting existing data for new uses through an extended semantic web. The future of learning is predicted to involve mobile and ambient learning, augmented reality, games-based learning, gesture computing and more intelligent connections between information, people and devices.

12. After the war . . .
We’ll just a press a button for food or for drink,
For washing the dishes or cleaning the sink.
We’ll ride in a rocket instead of a car.
And life will be streamlined . . .

Digital Residents or Visitors?

46. ‘New’ learners are...
• more self-directed
• better equipped to capture information
• more reliant on feedback from peers
• more inclined to collaborate
• more oriented toward being their own
