Distance education in all its forms has been used for more than a century in education, leveraging the potential of each new technology as it emerges.

Co-production of knowledge is emerging as a new model for learning in the digital age. This is what schools in the idealistic sense should be modelled upon.

Many technologies are a lot older than we realise, and many are already on the drawing board, or in production before we see them even appearing in science fiction movies. Newer technologies such as the tablet computer and mobile telephone were first conceived in the 1960s. I was lucky to be fairly accurate with that prediction.
