A new year has just begun, but while time passes by our educational system keeps standing still. Your kids are still learning the same way you did 20-30 years ago, because they are still in a classroom with books.

Online learning tools and technologies have surfaced in recent years but the impression you get is that e-learning is still confined to a little group of savvy educators who have understood how to leverage the power of the Internet for teaching and learning.

In fact, despite the revolution started by social media, web 2.0, real-time web and agile development, the educational paradigm has not fully embraced those fantastic discoveries to give birth to a new learning paradigm that gets rid of useless exams, tests and paper sheets to focus on those new learning skills required to live a successful and meaningful life.

What is still needed for this paradigm shift in education? Is this radical change imminent or still hard to see?

To analyze and forecast what the future of education looks like, here at MasterNewMedia we have been asking, reporting, selecting and publishing some good and key questions that educators and learners should ask when it comes to make sense of this new foreseen revolution in learning

  • Is our educational system broken? Why?
  • What are the key trends, models and dynamics of the new education paradigm?
  • What are these emerging technology trends that will shape the future learning paradigm?
  • What are the skills you and I will really need to learn in the future?
  • What does a future learning curriculum will look like?
  • What are the new frontiers of knowledge sharing over the Internet?

Education And Learning: A Paradigm Shift - Part 1 - Is Our Educational System Broken?

Learning_and_education_a_shifting_paradigm_part_1_id20499661_size485_b.jpg

It's all so good to talk about new media, 2.0, participation, collaboration, real-time web, mashing-up, agile development, remixing, or lifestreaming but what value do these discoveries have when as soon as we turn our heads home and to our kids we still force them to go through an education system that embraces none of such fantastic discoveries?

Online Learning: Trends, Models And Dynamics In Our Education Future - Part 1

online_learning_trends_size485.jpg

In the future you will see that the choice of learning opportunities will be embedded in other activities just like players learn in the course of a game, for example. "They do not first learn how to play the game, and then play it. Rather, they begin playing the game, and as they attempt to achieve goals or perform tasks, the learning they need is provided in that context."

How are you going to certify your knowledge in the near future? While it is unlikely that general educational degrees will maintain their value and business currency, it is increasingly probable that your "value" will be in good part vouched for by the "portfolio" of your online experiences, social reputation and past Internet learning-related activities.
