  8. First: Internet – 1995-2014 http://bit.ly/1dE8jFV

  9. Broadband at home - 70% (+10% more have smartphones) Broadband at home Dial-up at home

  10. Broadband facilitates networked information and networked knowledge • Volume, velocity, variety of information grow • Information is pervasively created and pervasively consumed – new platforms / formats • New literacies take account of flows and filters • Knowledge is more openly contested and edited • Self-paced learning is facilitated • More refined analytics are enabled

  11. Second: Mobile connectivity – Cell phones http://bit.ly/1dE8jFV

  12. Second: Mobile connectivity - Smartphones http://bit.ly/1dE8jFV

  13. Second: Mobile connectivity – Tablets Have either one Tablet owners E-reader owners http://www.pewinternet.org/2014/01/16/e-reading-rises-as-device-ownership-jumps/

  14. Mobile connectivity alters learning venues and expectations • New access points to learning in an any time, anywhere, any device era • Attention zones change • Real time sharing and just-in-time searching are enabled • The “metaverse” brings augmented reality • Pervasive awareness and access to social networks

  19. What is the future of learning?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities” Old: Learning as transaction New: Learning as a process Learners receive knowledge Learners create knowledge

  20. What is the future of learning?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities” Old: Learning as transaction New: Learning as a process Knowledge is organized in stable, hierarchical structures that can be treated independently of one another Knowledge is organized “ecologically”-disciplines are integrative and interactive

  21. What is the future of learning?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities” Old: Learning as transaction New: Learning as a process We learn best passively, by listening and watching We learn best actively doing and managing our own learning

  22. What is the future of learning?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities” Old: Learning as transaction New: Learning as a process Our “intelligence” is based on our individual abilities Our “intelligence” is based on our networks

  23. Be not afraid
