IED 2015 Immersive Education Initiative Conference Presentation Disruptive enabling technologies in the form of wearable sensors and ambient intelligent interface devices are set to totally transform immersive education practices. This presentation focuses on the latest developments in wearable lifestyle sensor technologies such as Neurosky's consumer brainwave and body sensing devices to describe how measuring and visualising physical and mental states can be used to deliver quantum changes in education practices. These devices and their associated applications that provide real time analysis of attention and emotional states provide new opportunities to provide more personalised and adaptive education experiences.

26. Conclusions
• Education is in revolution not evolution
• Disruptive technologies offer personalised
challenges, actions, measurement, feedback and
reflection to support learning and development
• Paradigm shift from teaching to self directed peer to
peer learning supported by mentoring
• Humans will continue to learn in the same way but
differently
