For our final assignment in our course about foundations of learning and technologies, we are being asked to predict the (near) future of education, learning, and teaching in the year 2030. My future is one based on the pessimism of the 2010s and early 2020s\u00a0but will attempt to instil hope and optimism.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future of education for 2030 is responding to the variety of societal crises of the 2010s and early 2020s. I will base my predictions around the past and tie historical events to future projections.\u00a0For example, I will be discussing the effects of COVID-19, creating more flexible learning options, such as flipped classrooms and blended learning (Statti & Villegas, 2020).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, I will reference the 2010s and 2020s, illustrating the beginning of diverse perspectives with movements such as Me Too, Black Lives Matter, and Canada\u2019s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The class of 2030 will reflect these diverse perspectives by employing \u201crespectful design\u201d (Tunstall, 2017 in MacGilchrist, 2020) and increased attention to differently-abled students (Kaczorowski et al., 2022).\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Another topic the 2030 education system will be addressing is equity. Both K-12 and higher education are relying more and more on open educational resources (OER), although the market is not yet saturated (Educause, 2021). With increased flexibility of blended learning options, students can access their classes through any device, consequently cutting technology costs at a school level and decreasing access issues with lower-income students (Educause, 2021): more equity for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I will discuss the 2010s and early 2020s climate crisis; with increased concerns from our population about environmental concerns, the classrooms of 2030 will focus on Nardi et al.\u2019s idea of \u201ccomputing within limits\u201d (2018). The 2030 educational system will place less concern on keeping up with the current \u2018fad\u2019 technology and instead look into sustainability in technology by purchasing more durable, high-quality products and refurbished technology, creating less \u2018e-waste\u2019(Selwyn, 2021).\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I will use other articles to provide complementary views to support my outlook on the future. Overall, the future is looking bright and attempting to respond to social demands of flexibility, diversity, equity, and a greener future.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
