Technological driving force of The Future of Technology in Secondary Education in 2020

Description:

Educational technology such as on-line distance learning is experiencing a wildly application. World-famous universities like Harvard have participated into the process; programs like CyberOne combing the use of WiKi and visual social community like SecondLife become open to student not only from Harvard University but also at a large extent. A multi-user virtual environments interfaces, in which participants’ avatars interact with computer based agents and digital artifacts in virtual contexts become a new trend— Technological convergence in learning.

Enablers:

  • Developments of computer ,network, telecom, multi-media etc
  • Various form of on-line social community
  • Consumer demand


Inhibitors:

  • Intellectual rights, patents, or in general: knowledge protection [2]
  • General fear that adverse effect of advanced technology on student
  • Web-security


Paradigms:

With the participation of leading institute and wildly social cognition, technological convergence in learning will open a door for the future of education. In this process, when education gradually gets rid of its original classroom-teacher limitation, the result in turn will continue stimulate the development of technological convergence and various of new form will come out.

Experts:

CyberOne: Law in the Court of Public Opinion

Timing:

2010
Various on-line visual education centers have matured .Wiki, google video etc become medium to provide learning resources and gradually replace traditional resources.
2010-2020
New technology including portable hard-device and software can better monitoring and controlling human affective etc gradually come into use. Teacher’s role begins to adjust to this new situation.
