Deciphering the future of learning through daily observation

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

The research presented here will share the insights and results that have developed from a doctoral study in progress, which examines individual and group study habits & learning practices. The results of this study provide foresight into emergent practices regarding formal and informal study/learning contexts. Furthermore, this research demonstrates that the future of learning is already here, it is increasingly becoming more oriented towards mobile-learning scenarios and that the mobile technologies, services and practices associated with shaping how we learn now and in the future are currently only practiced by a few, but will impact many in the near future.
