    Throughout the last three years, we have researched what the future holds for fields as diverse as human longevity and the future of the web. That research helped us come up with 10 predictions for the future of social learning. If you are just now dipping your toes into the social learning pool, we hope the following predictions will give you some ideas about where the future is headed so that you can prepare accordingly.

    my pedagogy in futures studies consists of empirical, interpretive, critical, and action research approaches and is based on: (1) the main pillars of futures studies; (2) ways that the future can be used; and (3) mapping and change methods.

  • Professors are also being left out of marketing decisions, personal branding campaigns, and how the intellectual capital of their life’s work get’s disseminated.
  • In addition to academic prowess, future SuperProfessors will be ranked according to attributes like influence, fame, clout, and name recognition. Future criteria for winning the FacultyRow SuperProfessor designation will likely include benchmarks for the size of social networks, industry influencer rankings, and gauges for measuring effectiveness of personal branding campaigns.
  • Currently we are seeing a tremendous duplication of effort. Entry-level courses such as psychology 101, economics 101, and accounting 101 are being taught simultaneously by thousands of professors around the globe. Once a high profile SuperProfessor and brand name University produces one of these courses, what’s the value of a mid-tier school and little-known teacher also creating the same course? As Ball Corporation executive, Drew Crouch puts it, “Education is definitely moving from a history of scarcity to a future of abundance. Just like Gutenberg freed the written word, the Internet has freed information.”

    This seems stuck in the notion of the 'course' as a transferrable, replicable unit of education, without acknowledging all kinds of educational interactions that happen around courses, in one-on-one conversation etc. If a course is a knowledge dump, then it can be replaced with recorded equivalents, it seems to me. But if it is an interactive experience, a conversation among learners with the instructor as lead/expert learner, then reproducing it on a mass scale simply won't work.

  • Princeton has found that the iPad has a DHCP malfunction where the device has been leasing an IP address on the wireless network and failing to renew the lease at the prompted interval, thus creating network issues [http://www.net.princeton.edu/announcements/ipad-iphoneos32-stops-renewing-lease-keeps-using-IP-address.html - 4/19/2010]. These network issues will continue to appear as companies continue to release products at a pace that testing and network scalability will not be able to match.

      It figures there would be an issue. So much for being a "game-changer".

  • As a society, if we continue the pattern of increased integration of new tools afforded by the availability of the Internet, we should be prepared for outages and decreased network performance as the service scales in capability to meet this steadily increasing demand.

      Interesting perspective. I know all to well what happens when everyone (or so it seems) gets on the cable network in the neighborhood where I live. Once that school bus drops off kids in the afternoon, I have about 10 minutes to save my work. Then everything grinds to a halt. This is a problem that begs a creative solution...
  • It will be interesting to see how all of the challenges of privacy and paranoia are handled as more game-changing technologies are developed and deployed.

Are we a Knowledge Society or merely a Knowledge Economy? | Open Course in Education Fu... - 1 views

  • “Knowledge is now fast becoming the one factor of production, sidelining both capital and labor. It may be premature (and certainly would be presumptuous) to call ours a ‘knowledge society’— so far we only have a knowledge economy. But our society is surely ‘post-capitalist’” (Drucker in Neef, 1998).
    • Lisa Durff
      Lisa Durff on 27 Apr 10
       
      Knowledge, or the ability to get it quickly, IS the economy of our society. The nomenclature is a bit skewed as it is not a knowledge society nor a knowledge economy but the use of knowledge that is paramount. So it is not possessing knowledge, as those in medieval Europe did, but the use of it.
  • Anyway, we are transitioning from a knowledge economy to a knowledge society where human capital is measured by ____________ ???
    • Lisa Durff
      Lisa Durff on 27 Apr 10
       
      We are transitioning from a knowledge as something one owns to knowledge as something one finds kinda culture. Capital is measured by how fast one kind find what one needs.

      Knowledge is shared across disciplines/industries/data sets.

      Value is in the sharing? Collaboration crystalises and co-creates something new?
  • Ed Webb on 27 Apr 10
     
    So it's a knowledge ecology and capital equates to skill in hunting and gathering, i.e. searching and filtering or evaluating.
