In an interview with editor James Morrison, Chris Dede, Wirth Professor of Learning Technologies at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, discusses the potential of current technological trends to transform teaching and learning. Dede argues that our definition of “learning technology tools” will continue to expand in response to new developments such as handheld gaming devices, massively multiplayer online games, wireless mobile technologies such as pocket PCs, and electronic “smart objects” embedded in everyday environments. Within the next ten years, he predicts, such developments will result in three major interfaces for technology-enhanced education: a “world to desktop” interface that now characterizes most forms of online learning; a “multiuser virtual environment” (MUVE) interface where learners collaborate within complex, simulated environments online; and a “ubiquitous computing” interface where learners utilize wireless technology in computer-enhanced physical settings. As he offers examples of possible learning scenarios within these interfaces, Dede gives readers a compelling glimpse of what the landscape of learning may look like in the near future.
