In this, the eighth Trend video, Derek Wenmoth of CORE Education discusses three emerging ways in which we access and interact with information: eBooks, data visualisation and gesture based computing. Derek explains that what has historically been confined to 2D print and oral/aural communications, is now accessible in a range of new and exciting ways, and where engagement tended to be passive, it is now an active experience.

From a teaching and learning perspective, ubiquitous computing enables us to think about availability of virtual mentors or teachers, and/or opportunities for peer to peer and self-paced deeper learning. With the emergence of increasingly robust connectivity infrastructure and cheaper computers, school systems around the world are now developing the ability to provide learning opportunities to students 'anytime, anywhere'.
Derek Wenmoth presents the first of the 2011 ten trends series, discussing the smart web. The smart web relates to the growing 'intelligence' of the web itself and episode one focuses on three relevant examples of this: the Internet of things, the adaptive web, and learning analytics.
Our education is no longer confined to the school we live in - we can access courses/subjects from almost anywhere and at any time. The world is our classroom. Global connectivity now enables student driven niche learning projects - if schools and teachers allow and enable them to happen.
