Preparing For a World That Doesn’t Exist

2. ….Richard Ogle Smart World
“In an adaptive system (i.e. one that is becoming fitter), learning – the system’s capacity to change effectively – then takes the form of the alignment of lower level elements with what lies in the future – a growing as yet unseen pattern. This is the reverse of normal learning, which is based on reasoning and past experience.”

17. The “velocity” of knowledge is leading us to a world of “just-in-time knowledge”; the result being the reality that the relationship between educational institutions and students is set to change; primarily, from a period of short term, concentrated knowledge delivery, to one more related to the lifelong, ongoing process of creativity and innovation.
