Futurelab - Resources - Publications, reports & articles - Opening Education reports - 2020 and beyond

http://www.futurelab.org.uk/resources/publications-reports-articles/opening-education-reports/Opening-Education-Report663

This is the last reading in the course on connectivism I have been taking this fall. Could be of interest in the visions of the future topic, but probably more so in in terms of our own C3 project.

The main focuses of the paper are:

  • To what extent are we prepared, as a society and as educators, for the massive changes in human capabilities that digital technologies are likely to enable in the next 13 years?
  • To what extent are our future visions for education based upon assumptions about humanity, society and technology that are no longer valid?
  • To what extent can we, as educators, help to shape the developments of technology in order to enhance human development?
