(2222) ARE WE CURRENTLY MOVING FROM THE AGE OF MOBILISM TO AGE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, LEARNING ANALYTICS AND ROBOTICS? HOW TO COUPLE EMERGENT TECHNOLOGY WITH LEARNING AND TEACHING?

摘要

The world is now in the age of mobilism and entering the age of artificial intelligence, learning analytics and robotics. New technology tools fit more readily and naturally into our lives; increasingly broad, inexpensive, and easy access to internet wireless devices and a variety of web-based personal publishing and social software tools have made computing truly a ubiquitous and “continuous” part of our lives.
