"This is the first generation of people that work, play, think and learn differently than their parents..they are the first generation to not be afraid of technology. It is like air to them."
- Don Tapscott
Can ICT (Information Communication Technology) redefine the way we learn in the Networked Society? Technology has enabled us to interact, innovate and share in whole new ways. This dynamic shift in mindset is creating profound change throughout our society. The Future of Learning looks at one part of that change, the potential to redefine how we learn and educate. Watch world renowned experts and educators talk about its potential to shift away from traditional methods of learning based on memorization and repetition to more holistic approaches that focus on individual students' needs and self expression (documentary film by Ericcson)
Ericcson is Swedish multinational provider of communications technology and services. They envision a Networked Society, where every person and every industry is empowered to reach their full potential.
