The Future of Learning

#UKEdChat Session 393 – Thursday 1st March 2018

It was once said ‘It’s difficult to make predictions, especially about the future‘. There are so many factors, technological, political, societal, which could change the course of learning, but in this discussion we are future-gazing and trying to imagine what learning will look like in a generation from now and beyond. For some inspiration, listen to this excellent BBC radio programme with some ideas about where we might be heading.
