ABSTRACT 5 Z9 g9 n" S. m9 g+ w( mAs society shifts from the “Information Age” to a new “Learning Age”, learning is no longer the preparation for a job, it is the job. Business and industry understand that the next wave of productivity gains will be realized through improved human capital management and by a massive global re-alignment of talent. The worldwide education community is responding creatively to this challenge. Educators have developed an innovative and much more systematic framework for learning – i.e. the “21st Century Learning Initiative”. Under this initiative both students and their teachers are lifelong learners. And they are expected to internalize a whole new set of 21st century skills and take more direct responsibility for their own individual learning. We call this bold student-centered self-paced approach “deep learning”. The only thing that matters is successful student outcomes. The demand is for good data, real-time performance support, and continuous tracking of actual student achievement. / u4 z- C# s1 o4 v4 b; F ) \; E( r% p0 L0 f3 d2 @Along with today’s new systems and the new focus on learning itself, comes a revolutionary organization concept for education.

It is a student-centered, networked, lifelong learning environment that leverages the talents of a multi-generational learning team whose members are drawn from all over the world. The continuing development of this next generation global education workforce to support the new “net” generation of self-paced lifelong learners is absolutely essential. !

The classroom of the future will need to be further re-engineered and become capable of quickly adapting to meet multifunctional, multi-cultural requirements. Schools will no longer be simple learning spaces. They will become instead highly interconnected hubs and integral parts of global multi-generational networked learning communities. Soon the personalization of each student’s learning path via an individual development plan (IDP) will be the norm. # O2 d- R& L) o( y1 }7 c

The maturing of cloud computing beyond Web 2.0 applications will create a launching pad for effective “global knowledge exchange” – i.e. the “weaving of a web of knowledge”. The process requires a shared context to facilitate the building of new relationships regardless of differences in geographic location. The process requires a new type of global learning community, an “intelligent human network”- i.e. a “net brain”. Hundreds of millions of learners, educators, mentors, social entrepreneurs, school administrators and other stakeholders - including countless virtual assistants/digital avatars - will routinely interconnect, communicate, share knowledge, and collaborate in real time. 9 r _+ U8 Z; o1 Y3 x- x* I; J; w!

Classrooms of the future will be the building blocks in a rapidly evolving global learning ecosystem and catalysts for the next generation of education technology (ET) development. We predict a huge new ET industry and the deployment of the global education workforce / ^5 u8 E- J6 F" U) {3 {. Y7 ^will be its main driver. ET innovation will make “One World, One Classroom” a reality.
