Learning Ecosystem of the Future

From Learning Technologies 2010:
P1: The learning ecosystem of the future — by Patrick Dunn, Consultant, Networked Learning Design Ltd and Mark Berthelemy, Learning Solutions Architect, Capita

Decentralizing and democratizing the creation of learning resources is radically changing the way we produce learning content. A range of tools (including those for rapid development) have the potential to reduce costs and engage learners in ways that will finally deliver on e-learning’s potential. Taking lessons from the history of learning technology and software development, the speakers will shift the “rapidization” debate away from a short-term efficiency perspective, offer a vision for the learning eco-system of the future, and present a roadmap on how to get there.

  • New, diffuse learning organisations
  • Software cycles; what they mean for e-learning tools
  • From ‘few create, many consume’ to ‘many create, many consume’
  • 21st Century knowledge management
  • The roadmap, and the systems and cultural changes required
