“ten technologies that are going to change the way we learn”

From Luigi Canali De Rossi comes Robin Good’s list of ten technologies that are going to change the way we learn. There is a nine-minute audio/video explanation on the site, as well as many explanatory links.

  1. Search technologies

  2. Data visualization tools
  3. Blogs – Direct publishing and content aggregation tools
  4. Audio and video – increased use of audio and video as communication channels for small publishers
  5. RSS – content syndication, aggregation, re-use
  6. P2P – private and public file sharing networks
  7. Unlimited storage – on the desktop and online
  8. Unlimited bandwidth – Wifi – WiMax
  9. Real Time Collaboration Tools
  10. Collective and Collaborative Filtering – human spontaneous cooperative technology like del.icio.us and FURL.net

I’m not sure if these technologies will actually change the way we learn, but they are ten tools for every instructional technologist, educator or training developer. For sure, they are changing the way we teach, and facilitating learning for some.

If you’re in the business of learning, then you should understand the pros and cons of each and every one of these. It might be a good idea to play with some of these if they’re new to you.

  1. Tu as raison…It won’t change the way we LEARN but rather the way we TEACH because it will make the way we TEACH more in sync with the way we LEARN…
