Education in the year 2000 (1910)

Technologies bounded by generation

Steve Wheeler – ALT-C 2015

• Power shift from ‘software experts’ to teacher and student-led technologies.

• The ‘internet of things’• Augmented reality• Learner analytics, open badges and

personalisation.• Gamification and immersion

Trends of note

‘Few to many’• The traditional teacher –

learners dynamic is shifting.

• From ‘recursive’ to ‘discursive’ pedagogy; closed to open; tethered to mobile; standardised to personalised.

• Curation and the ‘democratisation of education’.

Student as producer

Augmented Reality• The combining,

in real time, of technology with the everyday experience; adding a ‘layer of value’. • Not the same as

‘virtual reality’!http://m.c.lnkd.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/p/4/005/027/2f1/16f8237.jpg (Accessed 07/12/15: 17:45)
