Morning Session: 9:30am - 10:30am with Ian Whitehouse and Marcus Ragus
Session Description: Modern learning implementation is strongly influenced by changes in technological innovations, the expectations of society and the current generations of a time; new concepts of learning delivery are evolving at a pace that can be both challenging and exciting for many educators.
Ian Whitehouse and Marcus Ragus explore the possible future directions of e-learning in a stimulating and engaging presentation of the now and just next week realm of learning and communications technologies.
Do you suffer Information overload? Can you imagine a future where objects have basic intelligence and can interact with you? Did you know that your mobile fone is powerful tool for life-based learning?
Marcus shared a very interesting quote during the presentation….
Socrates believed that the young needed to get out and take part in their environment to gain wisdom through interaction, probing, investigation, the so called “examined life”.
What do you think? How can embedded technologies enhance teaching and learning in your teaching area?
Share your thoughts on the session or provide links to future technologies that excite you in the comments!

Wow! I can see augmented reality applied to really boring things like water treatment processes, where we could ‘tag’ a part of the process, and with the glasses/mobile phone the student could pull up the manufacturer’s manual, short-cut tips, an accredited learning module, assessments, visuals on how this part relates to other parts, solutions for common problems etc etc
The line for industry production and learning just blurred a little more..
