The Future of Learning is Now

“The future belongs to those who prepare for it.” – Malcolm X

The world is evolving rapidly, but many educators and learning providers are struggling with how to deal with this and how to best prepare our students for their future, as active citizens, and as lifelong learners.

How do we evolve our learning experiences to promote lifelong learning, to provide valuable and engaging learning experiences that embrace the physical, virtual and social elements in the seamless way that learners expect?

Large investments are being made in creating new learning environments and renewing approaches to curriculum and learning experiences, but many are struggling with how to inform requirements and to engage with transformation effectively, efficiently and sustainably.

Alongside this, many struggle to imagine the future that we are shaping, and therefore the possibilities this will bring, whilst embracing the responsibilities and considerations this brings, such as privacy, security and the requirements to ensure active citizens in society and in learning.

Research has shown that many of our citizens of all ages lack the skills to engage digitally, through a lack of digital literacy, media literacy, and information literacy to ensure awareness, resilience, cultural competence and importantly, safety and privacy across these environments.
