2. WHAT
Identification and comprehension of the improved solutions that ICTs offer for need-based learning in the context of convergence of technologies

3. To choose the best solution:
WHY
To choose the best solution:
@ for a certain target group
@ in a particular learning environment
@ for special learning activities

4. Blackboard architecture
@ Integration of disparate knowledge resources
@ Modularity
@ Flexibility
@ Software reuse
@ Extensibility
HOW

5. Hybrid learning paradigm tailored to the needs of the learners and reflecting the
3L reality:
@ eLearning
@ mLearning
@ gLearning
HOW

6. mLearning focuses on mLearning @ learning across contexts
@ learning in a mobile society
@ learning with portable technologies
@ learning across contexts
mLearning focuses on
mLearning

7. Mobile Learning mLearning @ in collaborative projects and fieldwork
@ as a classroom alternative to books
@ learning in museums or galleries with handheld or wearable technologies
@ learning outdoors, where learners are widely dispersed
@ to engage with learners who in the past have felt excluded
@ in promotional and awareness campaigns
@ for ‘just-in-time’ employee training
@ the use of personal technology to support informal or lifelong learning, such as using handheld dictionaries and other devices for language learning.
mLearning

8. Interacting with small devices
Technical challenges
Connectivity
Battery life
Interacting with small devices
Challenges

9. Social and educational challenges:
@ The intrusion of formal education into daily life
@ How to assess learning outside the classroom
@ How to support learning across many contexts
@ Developing an appropriate theory of learning for the mobile age
@ Design of technology to support a lifetime of learning
Challenges

10. Global learning represents
a hybrid learning paradigm
that comprises all learning models
in the benefit of
individuals, regardless of their age,
organizations, whether public or private, and society, as a whole.
gLearning

11. A global perspective of long-life learning synthesizes the key insights of education:
gLearning

12. The three questions associated with translating a face-to-face classroom into a Web-based one they present are:
Content: how to render traditional content suitable for Web delivery
Delivery: how distribute the learning material anywhere, anytime
Participation: how to ensure that everyone is optimally involved in the learning process
gLearning

13. The definition of gLearning revolves around three principles:
@ gLearning is Adaptable: Customized learning objects are filtered to the learner in a hierarchy that maximizes acquisition of new material
@ gLearning is Ubiquitous: The online classroom can operate outside of the constraints and be “asynchronous.
@ gLearning is Uniform: the gLearner exchanges purposeful, standardized, pre-formed, assignable “Participation Units” so that all students cooperate in teams, circles, communities and are involved in the learning community

14. Take a trip into the future and see how IT will change
The four stages of internet growth identified by Mills Davis:
Web 1.0: The WEB connected and assured accessibility to information
Web 2.0: The Social Web focused on connecting people, “putting the “I” in the user interface and the “we” in the Web”
Web 3.0: The Semantic Web aims to represent meanings and to connect knowledge
Web 4.0: The Ubiquitous Web will connect intelligence and will help people and things to reason and communicate with each other
Take a trip into the future and see how IT will change
