How do you see education, learning and technology intersecting (please include your name)?

Learning should be entertaining.  Technology will hopefully allow education to integrate with the way people think, play and work.

I think we are already  experiencing the intersection between education,  learning and technologies. The innovation in digital technologies has enhanced our ability to create a space to learn together regardless of geographical boundaries and time zone; for example, being part of the online MALAT program has allowed me to communicate and work with colleagues without boundaries. In my field, this is also becoming the new way. More online- asynchronous learning. We are also shifting towards personalized learning and empowering staff to be accountable of their own learnings.  Also shifting to coaching and learning community model with the assistance of collaboration tools like Skype, knowledge management, LMS, and etc.

The biggest and most obvious way these three things intersect is in the realm of communication. Communication is required to learn and gain education as a whole and technology is the means to which such learning and education can take place. The more we are able to understand this dynamic and communicative relationship, the more improved the learning experience and overall education will be.

I see education, learning and technology intersecting over the next five or more years through both our use of technology to facilitate teaching and learning and in learning about technology itself.
I think we will create more effective avenues to teach and learn with the use of technology - to deepen learning and make it more accessible than ever (geographically and demographically).
I believe that we will also use traditional teaching and learning to deepen and broaden our understanding of technology and its effects on us as individuals and our societies (from 3-D printing in all its forms to the philosophical questions regarding the self-determination of AI).
I am guessing that the intersection of these three things are going to take us further as humans, while at the same time helping us better understand ourselves.

I believe we’re already seeing the  intersection of education, learning and technology but it will surely deepen significantly over the next five plus years. I imagine areas such as VR, nanotechnology and other robotic systems will be more and more prevalent in education. I’m very excited to see what the future holds in this regard.

Both education and learning can be defined as a process of gaining knowledge or modifying existing knowledge. Technology will facilitate education and learning by making access to information more readily available. Allowing those seeking information a virtually unlimited resource of instant information.
I don’t see two things that are progressing along the same path as intersecting but rather one is pushing the other along. I’d suggest that technology is pushing education, which is learning, to higher and higher levels. It will enable a larger population to hold more information rather than only an educated few having all the answers. Collectively we all will have equal access to the knowledge of humanity. We will only be limited by our willingness to pursue the information we desire.
Technology is removing traditional barriers to learning. Barriers like geographical remoteness, learning styles, and even physical disabilities are being eliminated by implementation of all manner of technological advances.
In a physical sense, technology will allow for multiple of ways of presenting and receiving information. From text on a screen, to audio, video, animations and virtual reality. There appears to be no limit to how a person can to learn.

Education, Online learning and technology work hand in hand at the present. I foresee in the future that they will work together more closely by complementing each other and delivering fast accessible and more reliable information.

We don't need to look far to see how we have already bridged the gap with intersecting learning and technology. All of my classmates are taking this program online and this tells me the future of learning is here. I think that by exploring more technological options to reach more people will close the gap and allow education to be more accessible for everyone. I think that educational institutes are now leading in technological research (for example, VR labs), that way they can be prepared to bring new advancements into the classroom and spread the wealth of knowledge through technology. The only set back I would see is some people, in my sector, have a resistance to new technology. We need to ensure people feel comfortable and use the technology as a tool, not a hindrance. This will ensure we have a full intersect of education, learning and technology.

In the years ahead, I see technology providing ever-increasing opportunities in education and learning.  In some regions of the world (including here in the Middle East), online degrees still have a stigma of being inferior to traditional degrees, but I believe that will change as digital natives continue to populate the workforce.  I also see artificial intelligence (AI) becoming a promising tool in education and learning.  I’m unsure if AI can, or should, replace human educators, but I believe it is likely to have a growing presence in education and learning in the future.

We are entering the online era of education. I think the challenge will be to ensure that there is a high level of human interaction and connection in the digital arena. Teamwork, group chats and calls, multi-player modes of interaction... all of this is needed to create an online world where people can connect in real and powerful ways. Dissemination of information is easy on the web, but the human connectivity is something that we will get better at over the coming years.

The way that I see education, learning and technology intersecting is how it will continue to support learners’ success. It creates opportunity to succeed by allowing learners to take ownership of their learning based on their current circumstances. For example, a full-time nurse can take blended learning courses to upgrade her knowledge/skills.

I see the intersection of learning, education and technology maturing over the next 5 years. With the pace at which new technologies are being developed, it seems hard to forecast where we will be 5 years from now. I see what are now areas of digital novelty and possibility in educational delivery, becoming the norm, from which future technologies will be launched. Learning will become more entwined in technology, obviously from the learner's perspective, but even from the teacher's. Teachers will be required develop their own technical skills to keep up with the innovative delivery models their institutions may embrace.

I’m not sure they aren’t intersecting now.  I think that technology is so much a part of our day to day lives that it has no choice but to intersect with education.  Just look at what we are doing here!  It is very likely that we will never meet each other face-to-face (with the exception of at convocation), yet we will be learning together for the next two years.  I see education, learning and technology intersecting more for the older generations, those who don’t interact with technology as much or don’t want to learn the new ways.  As technology changes we will need more education to help those to aren’t familiar with the new methods of learning, playing, and working - Kathy Moore

Technology creates opportunities for education and learning.  Technology encourages people to return to school and learn from the comfort of their own home.  Technology encourages individuals to take advantage of education and/or learning opportunities.  Technology encourages organizations to offer virtual training or virtual meetings.  Although the three may intersect each other, technology opens up the opportunity for creative interactive learning.  That learning may be in the workplace or it may be in an educational setting.  Regardless, technology and learning is involved in every aspect of our life.

In 5 years education, technology and learning will intersect similar to how it is now, just with better technology and more efficiently.
There will more programs like  MALAT  that are offered online and blended. It's still not common place to hear of someone doing a fully online program. Corporate training will become more robust as technology will allow learning/training to be more timely.
I mentioned AR, VR and 3D printing in my in activity 2 question - technology will allow the real world experiences to be experienced in the classroom.
As education, learning and technology intersect educational institutions will adopt teaching methods that rely on technology and student having technology. There are many bring your device programs popping up in post-secondary. My nephew, in middle school, had an assignment that required him to shoot a video and hand it in on usb stick. Common tools for him but not all. These new essential learning methods will also widen the gap for those that do not have access to technology. Even if those without get to use technology in the classroom it won't be the same as growing up and having technology as an extension of ones day to day life. This is already happening and these issues will have to be addressed as progress is inevitable.

I believe that rapid technological changes will change the way education is delivered, as well as possibly the content of the instruction (for example, academic libraries might change the literacy component towards more digital literacy, and evaluation, rather than finding print sources). I think technology will democratize education even more in the next 5 years, and has a potential to transform the way we learn as well as process and deliver information.

I hope to see more cloud based relationships between software systems. As a business owner, I want to provide a cloud based service to my clients, and the biggest thing I look for, is a streamlined process for clients. Something easy for them to follow that allows me to complete my portion of the work required. For businesses the learning would be online, through seminars or tutorials. Some companies do a great job of this already and some, I feel, are still learning.
When it comes to education, I can see a big shift coming towards blended curriculums. Whether this is in University or Professional settings.

They have all intersected already, haven't they? In our program for instance it definitely has! In my EFL classrooms even though we're a little slow in the technology department they have already intersected. Teachers keep in touch with students and parents through social media.

In the next five years, my guess is that many organizations will be upgrading or installing technology that will increase and/or simplify knowledge sharing across departments, industries, and distances. As well, technology will continue to work on efficiencies (such as artificial intelligence, AI) in the workplace, which triggers the need for more learning. Finally, capturing people's knowledge in HR and learning management systems is going to become evermore important as a top heavy population pyramid has vast amounts of knowledge walking out the door.
