Future
There are lots of more knowledgeable people thinking about the future of social software, How to Save the World is written by one of them. In general I think that anything technical is going to become more user friendly, more video based and more interactive, which will benefit students and learners, especially disadvantaged learners (economically, educationally or culturally outside mainstream groups).Three things that would need to happen:
- keep training trainers (provide time, technical support and mentoring systems)
- physically adapt the learning environment to new ways of delivering training (eg more computer areas, designed in a more group-work oriented fashion)
- keep syllabus guidelines flexible enough to allow for all the stakeholders' imagination to continue creating new and exciting ways of learning.
