11. 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

12. Second: Mobile connectivity – Cell phones http://bit.ly/1dE8jFV12

13. Second: Mobile connectivity - Smartphones 13http://bit.ly/1dE8jFV

14. Second: Mobile connectivity – Tablets http://www.pewinternet.org/2014/01/16/e-reading-rises-as-device-ownership-jumps/14 Tablet owners E-reader owners Have either one

15. 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

20. What is the future of learning? -- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities” New: Learning as a process Knowledge is objective and certain Old: Learning as transaction Knowledge is subjective and provisional

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

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

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

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