Terms such as “flipped classes” and “microlearning” emerged unprompted in my conversations with them. An enterprise social network covers the “in-betweens”, principally by empowering everyone to ask their own questions to the crowd, and to keep abreast of emergent knowledge in the moment.

In any case, I’m interested in what people in the real world are currently doing with this emerging technology, so I’ve collated the following examples. There’s also a lot of talk about how much better it is than VR, which I find comically absolutist. Surely it’s circumstantial?

But I’m more interested in what people in the real world are currently doing with this emerging technology. As with VR, there’s plenty of talk out there about how wonderful AR is and the incredible potential it offers us. The L&D maturity curve.

Again I was keen for our peers in L&D and other industries to share what they are doing with this emerging technology. Billed as an event for “anyone who is working with or experimenting with virtual reality, whether that be at home, at school or at work”, this was the second time I had run it. Impressive indeed.

Conversely, some of the smaller, younger institutions will emerge from the shadows as the world sees how good they really are. Over time, an increasing number of narrow, specific topics that link to corporate competencies will emerge. An xcMOOC hybrid will emerge as the third variant. MOOCs will target the corporate sector.

I like what I see at St Stephen’s School, not only because of the pedagogical benefits that 3D printing affords, but also because it makes sense to familiarise our children with emerging technology. This particular technology is already impacting manufacturing.

Sure, VR is an emerging technology, but as 20 real-world examples of Virtual Reality can attest, early adopters are indeed putting it to use in the workplace. For example, doctors experience the hospital system as an emergency patient; while aged care workers see life through the eyes of someone with dementia.

Medical education has long been the poster boy of salivatingly engaging content, and the tradition continues with this emerging technology. Augmented reality is still an emerging technology in which experiments must be undertaken and failures borne. I was impressed with the examples of augmented reality cited by Scott.

In a world in which everyone loves to bang on about emerging technology, relatively few ever do anything about it. I’m a big fan of the Powerhouse Museum.

I don’t want to be one of those e-learning “experts&# who waxes lyrical about emerging technologies and lofty ideals like collaboration, only to leave it to others to implement (because that’s the hard bit). Yeah, right. The hypocrisy of these world leaders has prompted me to self-reflect.

The emergence of badges is merely re-roasting the same old chestnut of whether degrees are necessary for the modern workplace. The learner has demonstrated their mastery of a skill by using it. In other words, the badge recognises something you have already done. And that’s an entirely different matter.

The lectures I attended and the exams I crammed for faded into a distant memory, until the emergence of learning analytics rekindled the fire. It’s a way of thinking that is founded on statistics, and I maintain it should inform the activities we undertake in other sectors of society such as Learning & Development.

Perhaps over time a sustainable participatory culture will emerge and the need for such scaffolding will dissipate. In other words, scaffolding the informal learning process with a formal structure, thereby driving the behaviour that achieves the outcome that drives the behaviour.

Good practice is a subjective concept, but some universal principles have emerged over the years. And this can be a problem, because it frequently distracts other participants, discourages other noobs from joining in, and generally makes the whole process of peer-to-peer knowledge sharing much less efficient than it otherwise could be.

I recommend they seed each week with a pinned discussion thread, which marks the official line of enquiry and discourages multiple (and confusing) threads emerging about the same concepts. The instructors need to be much more active in the discussions. Explication of the implications for e-learning must be the outcome.

In other words, the curriculum is the output that emerges from participating in the community.
