Diversity: Plurality of texts, formats,
supports and documents - also PEOPLE!
Transmedia
Diverse technologies
Excess choice
Multiple cultures and nationalities
Plurilingualism
Options based on context - advanced sensing
and processing via Artificial Intelligence
Diverse presentations (Assisted Reality, haptic
input and output, wearables…)

Mobility
Mobile device as sensor,
avatar, companion
Obtain information and learning any place, any
time
Always connected, everywhere - i.e. always
being tracked, and always tracking others
(family, friends, employees, etc.)
High context sensitivity

Mobile Devices Are Becoming Context Sensors
They can know:
On your body
(or not)
Indoors or
outdoors
In motion or still
Close to…
proximity sensing
beacons

Adaptability
Context is everything
Change is constant
The environment becomes more important
User adjusts to the context
User adjusts the context
Context adjusts the user
Context adjusts to the user

A Not So Future Scenario
We don’t know the user’s context
• Where?
• When?
• With whom?
• Connected to what?
• Using what display?
• Using what controls?
• …
How can we “teach” when…

Facilitation
Relax! You don’t have to know everything!
Teachers become facilitators of self-learning
Executives facilitate their teams
Technology facilitates people
Lifelong Learning facilitates adaptation
Facilitation means leadership in a collective context -
Complexity requires it
PISA now includes collective problem solving as a basic
competency

What if I’m not trained to use this
technology?
Cheer up – there’s no hope!
@RayGallon
@Transformsoc
Information changes in the time it takes to verify it
The students will always be ahead of you
Instead of feeling out of your comfort zone,
let them bring their technology into it, while
you guide them to understand implications
that you discover together

eKnowledge:
Information I can look up
eLearning is
not eKnowledge
eLearning is process-focused learning, presenting content that
the learner must remember, practice, or assimilate, enhanced
via electronic media, typically on the Internet
