Here, in the great limitless learning expanse the possibilities are endless, is any human learning life here? Navigation is more difficult, takes longer and is riskier. It is more difficult to control outcomes and harder to know what will prove useful and durable on the journey. Innovation and change here is more radical. Here we view the future for Higher Education, no less.
Research about learning and the student experience now goes well beyond opinion and ‘what works’-scenarios of stage one of technology introduction. In this field lies the power behind the learning futures movement and the greatest potential to address global opportunities. The Futures Institute will focus on bringing forward ‘weaker’ signals from the technological and e-learning environment for consideration and exploitation and provide a scholarly approach to preferred and viable learning futures.
