21st Century Learning and Teaching

IT executives must look beyond cost savings to new forms of operational excellence and seek technologies that can help them optimize resilience, scale industry-specific solutions and product delivery, and pioneer new forms of engagement, according to the 10 top strategic technology trends for 2023 unveiled at Gartner’s IT Symposium/Xpo 2022.

These include multiple forms of wireless, artificial intelligence, and sustainability, according to Frances Karamouzis, distinguished vice president and analyst at Gartner, and external events are making IT pros’ decisions about them even more difficult.

Nearpod provides VR Field Trips and 3D objects along with a library of standards-aligned VR lessons for different subjects. Teachers can integrate them immediately and seamlessly into their curriculum instead of creating a VR trip from scratch. Whether on site, online, or in hybrid classes, Nearpod VR works on any device. Using VR headsets makes the experience more immersive, but it is not required to engage students in this visual and hands-on learning experience.

Diving into a magnified human cell. Studying stars from the surface of the moon. Tossing a Frisbee on the quad with a classmate who lives 700 miles away.

These scenarios are far-fetched for most college students. Yet a new virtual reality experiment aims to make them possible. Ten higher education institutions across the U.S. have signed up to create digital versions of themselves that look 3D and feel immersive when accessed by students wearing VR headsets. Drawing on lingo that has gained popularity among tech entrepreneurs, these online simulations of colleges are being called “metaversities.”

In this first of a series of six blog posts, we define AI in three ways, shifting from a view of AI as human-like toward a view of AI that keeps humans in the decision cycle.

Wherever we are, we’d all like to think our classrooms are ‘intellectually active’ places. Progressive learning (like our 21st Century Model, for example) environments. Highly-effective and conducive to student-centered learning.

Buzzy metaverse projects have already sprung up around gaming, socializing, working and creating, so it’s unsurprising that educators have started to explore ways to bring education into a shared virtual world.

The Optima Classical Academy, a charter school in Florida in the US, has embraced the new technology and announced its intention to establish a virtual school which will take in pupils tuition free commencing August 2022. The school will equip up to 1,300 students with Oculus headsets so they can participate in virtual lessons.

VR and the metaverse is an open playfield for educators and students. When you can build anything, it’s overwhelming. The DEW Concept model is an educational virtual world building and selection process framework that identifies key characteristics and world models that encourage discovery, exploration, and wonder wrapped in a strong narrative. Within this conceptual framework lies the ingredients to make ideal educational worlds that encourage learning through high engagement, with some adventure tossed in as seasoning.

The DEW Concept model framework is ideal for educators to build or select educational virtual worlds, and for developing student projects. The model helps to lower the stress and confusion around educational worlds and sets a standard for interaction and engagement.

As stated, educators often misperceive emerging technologies and newly introduced platforms as the saviors of language pedagogy, but this is not the case. Prior to criticizing something new, we think it is important to have a solid understanding of how it works and what good it might accomplish. We are not arguing that lecturers and teachers must all know about AR for language education. As teachers, we all know to let students go and explore and amaze us with their creations. We argue that AR can be motivating and provide a more immersive language learning experience. We believe that AR has a promising future in education.

To make responsible choices you need to understand what could go wrong. The chart is not meant to dissuade but rather to make aware and encourage more careful and considered choices in a digital world. Feel free to use the chart as an everyday tool, as a conversation starter and as an outline for teaching.

Shortly after leaving high school as a student, I was bantering with some friends about our teachers and someone remarked about Stan, a gnarly old poetry teacher. The comment was that Stan had “really taught them how to think”.

The New Normal isn’t new anymore. The world of eLearning has changed forever, and it’s not going back. Even if students are returning to school, and eventually it happens - the model of a teacher, a whiteboard, and dozens of students sitting on chairs has changed forever. Instead, multitudes of new learning tools have entered the classroom. Technologies such as conversational AI, which were used mainly in textual interfaces and for commercial purposes, have entered this field.

Chatbots became a commodity only by the mid-2010s, but for lots of people they’re already falling out of favor. Honestly, I don’t blame them. Most of the conversations with them are robotic (no pun intended), mundane and limited in their scope. Most of their uses are commercial. Most of the bots are textual, and in a world turning to video, they are being left behind like educators who haven’t mastered the usage of online platforms.

The critical concern for any metaverse beginner would pertain to the ways in which metaverse can change education. How will the metaverse change education? The big question brings many doubts to mind alongside emphasizing particularly the specific parts of the metaverse, which might play a role here.

A broader classification of the metaverse would bring you face to face with four important concepts such as augmented reality, lifelogging, virtual reality, and mirror worlds. All of these concepts provide a detailed impression of using metaverse technology to drive use cases in the education sector. Let us learn about these four aspects of the metaverse with a brief overview of each of them.
