I recently spoke at the Future of Learning Conference at the Indian Institute of Management in Bengaluru (IIMB), India largely on the Near Future Teaching project.My participation at the event was graciously arranged by the British Council. The presentation largely suggested that there is a balance to be had with pragmatic evaluation of existing distance education and future oriented design that looks to proactively critique technology and its impact on what we do as universities.
The slides are provided below, which document (more or less) our process on the project, how do we derive inspiration from parallel and largely non-academic work, and how we might consider using personas to design towards specificity and away from ambiguity.
