Abstract

The technological development - as far as we can foresee it at all - is likely to be much less interesting than the cognitive development that will result from our having learning everywhere around us in new guises as well as old. The presentation will claim that learning is about to become a commodity and that the combined forces of on the one hand reduced price and increased power of authoring tools, on the other a plethora of still-to-be-explored educational 'paradigms' will almost overwhelm us with choices. The flip side of this is that, at least for some time, the problems of "IT illiteracy" may develop into "learning illiteracy", seeing that much of this e-learning will have a strong bias towards the engineering mentality. (The author is an engineer himself...). Still, some of the paradigms discussed, and especially those that base themselves on tours and travels, are likely to appeal to a very wide audience 3-4 main topics Clear and not-so-clear trends in technological development Low-cost e-learning vs. high-complexity authoring Educational paradigms, old and new Learning as a commodity
