I was asked recently about my thoughts on the development and advancement of technology in teaching and learning, and what are the most (!) significant developments to look out for.
I did not give the answer that was expected – I could have quoted one of the many Horizon reports, but didn’t. I think I was expected to name a particular device, system/website/tool, and the like – artificial intelligence, chatbots, etc. What I actually said was that technology, in all it’s various guises, needs to have and to fulfil a purpose and be integrated with the institutions’ ecosystem. That is more important than any individual device or system.
Let me explain.
