“If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.” Albert Einstein
How absurd- learning without a teacher?According to T&D Magazine, with Web 2.0 offerings already a normal aspect of the way we work. Web 3D, in the form of virtual worlds and simulations, is fast becoming a major player in our current collaborative landscape. Workplace learning and performance professionals continue to seek out the tech tools to support the learners of the future. We have to be prepared for the demands of the organization. We need to look for ways to harness our interconnectedness to make information faster, more current, more accurate and more customizable for individual workers. This trend will expand with the rise of intellectual tutors and the on demand learning technologies. According to Gordon Fuller, Global Design and Development Leader IBM Center for Advanced Learning, The PC will shift from being the primary tool for office functions to the interface that allows true collaboration and subsequent innovation. The congruence of email, instant messaging, VOIP, virtual offices supplied through 3D environments, video conferencing, wikis, and shared meeting applications will create a hub that allows workers to not only share data and co-develop but also access content and subject matter experts automatically to collaborate in real time.” Who would have thought that social networking would become so ubiquitous? How absurd! Welcome to the future!
