Learning Between Tradition and Technology

The world is now in a frenzy of change, and learning, as a social activity, as an engine of creativity and innovation as well as productivity in society, looks set to explode in the near future. With the expansion of learning as an activity in society and the increasing complexity of the learning sector, it will become much more important to determine the major directions in which learning will be transformed in the future. This paper will present various alternatives for leadership and management, for the development of powerful new ways of learning and types of learning organizations, for learning environments and the physical design of those learning environments. This perspective is extremely interesting if we look at the opportunities that people will engage in learning in the formal school sector, especially in the informal area. How can we capture the full range of learning possibilities in society, and what opportunities exist for the development of these activities? These questions lead to a careful analysis of the future of learning.
