Is our future, one where access to Information and Communication will be ubiquitous for learners, using Information & Communication Devices (ICD’s) of their choice?

A Scotland where reducing real cost of ICD’s, stable economic climate and desire for personal ownership will allow rapid permeation of devices to the student population. Effective learning environments will encourage, harness, & support this ubiquitous access. These learning environments will continue for the next few decades to be organisationally and physically structured as Local Authorities and Schools. They will develop a curriculum that acknowledges and utilises real time access to information & communication through technology and enables learners to personalise and self determine interaction with learning situations. They will have an infrastructure, which enables function by providing connectivity for ICD’s and effective access to content. This curricular and consequential pedagogical change will require significant infrastructure development to enable our formal education environments effective access equivalent to that available within the wider environment.

If this is our future, our challenge is to facilitate effective Information & Communication access in our learning environments that provides world leading educational opportunity.
