3. 2010 View of the Future of Education
Is the New Normal Anything But?
NUTN Summit 2010 by Sener, Kannel, Cheney-Steen & Calongne
The future -- from business as usual to the radical cyber dystopia
and educational anarchy to a quantum leap (Sener; Calongne)
Findings: degrees are not going away, credit hour pricing model
is a barrier to modularized learning, learning management
systems need to adapt to integrate modern technologies and
fast growth requires a stabilizing influence
Distinguishing students who work vs workers who study

4. The Future of Learning
Emotional Engagement
Personalization & Affect
Andragogy and Heutagogy
Mobile Apps
3D Virtual Worlds
Augmented Reality
Educational Games
Alternate Reality Games
Mapping the Learning Genome
Energizing learning retention via personalization,

Environment

6. The Benefit of
Affect
Preserving the
Magical
Experiences
that

8. Constructivism
Social Development Theory – Lev Vygotsky
1. Social interaction leads to social behavior, consciousness and
cognitive development
2. The More Knowledgeable Other
3. The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)
Learning occurs in the ZPD between performing a task under
guidance and doing it independently

9. Process and Roles
Pedagogy – how classes are structured and taught
The memorization of basic facts and rules
Determined and directed by the teacher
Andragogy – adults learn through trial and error
Activity-based and applied learning
Determined by the teacher and directed by the learner
Heutagogy – the study of self-determined learning
Developing learning skills and knowledge creation
Determined and directed by the learner

15. Alternate Reality
Emergensight - the superpower
possessed by the most
extraordinary collaborative
individuals. They can thrive in a
chaotic, collaborative
environment that arises from
ambient sociality where like-
minded strangers use social
media and networking.
