Learning it's changing. New technology allows us to think about learning and teaching in entirely new ways.
I taught psychology in a lecture theater like this for many years, helping students to assimilate a textbook like this one, chapter by chapter.
My research at the Open University is about how technology affects learning behavior. I'm interested in not just observing those behaviors, but in creating genuinely new ones. So let's take this book out of this dull place.
Welcome to the Open University distribution center in deepest Northamptonshire.
Each box here represents an individual and a highly interactive learning journey for an Open University student. This is a rich media mix if you're an entry-level design student. This is the entry-level mix for computing. This leads to much more powerful and effective learning.
All of this fantastic resource is designed, planned and executed brilliantly by the Open University now. What I'm looking at is how we're going to revolutionize that for learning in the future.
As an OU student, a lot that's in the box is now available on a tablet. But more, the interactions in the print page of the book that would have sent you off to somewhere else can now keep you here on this page. The figures in the book can be interactive experiments.
The measurements and challenges can be right there on the page. Anything you do here is yours. It's on your personal shelf for you to keep.
How about if the data in the book was fed from an online service, with a unique sample from a real, live experiment running right now? How about the book knowing there are lots of others there on the page with you?
My research at the Open University is leading to significant new technological devices that will change the way learners think about learning.
