Shift happens

What will the educational environment look like in a few more years?

The PPT link on the website below shows you just what a changing world we live in. The implications for the educational sector in Australia and around the world are huge.

How are educational institutions like St George College, and Sydney Institute as a whole, going to train people for jobs that we don't know about yet? How are we going to ensure that what we are training people in is current if the technical knowledge is changing in a very short time frame? The job of keeping training resources up-to-date whether they are in hard or soft copy is going to be huge.

For those of us committed to working in the field of educational delivery there are interesting times ahead, we certainly won't be getting bored!

You can link to the website here: http://blogs.msdn.com/ukschools/archive/2007/06/18/shift-happens-did-you-know.aspx, then scroll down and click on the link. The version shown is a UK one, maybe someone would like to do an Australian one?
