What is the Future of Teaching and Online Learning?
http://mashable.com/2009/08/31/online-education-teachers/
What is the Future of Teaching and Online Learning? “On average, students in online learning conditions performed better than those receiving face-to-face instruction,” concluded the report’s authors in their key findings."
The report looked at just under one hundred studies that compared the performance of students in online learning environments (or courses with an online study component) to those who were given strictly face-to-face instruction for the same courses.
What they found was that students who completed all or some of their coursework online tested on average in the 59th percentile, compared to the 50th percentile for those who received only classroom instruction, and that the results are statistically significant.

Tomorrows Teacher
Tomorrow's Teacher is a new cross-curricular project to inspire thinking about the future of teaching and learning. Brought to you by Teachers TV in association with the Education and Social Research Council (ESRC), it aims to encourage you and your class to imagine the future of education.
We have created resources and programmes to kick-start your thinking about what the next generation will need from education and how this can be delivered.

Explore the innovations and trends that could bring about the biggest transformation in teaching since the beginning of mass education.
New technologies could soon make virtual classrooms and artificial intelligence a reality with huge implications for how children are taught, with children deciding not only what they learn but where they learn.
An experiment involving 120 learners at Biddenham Upper School, Beford, shows education can be delivered at a variety of centres within the community rather than a single school.

Primary pupils predict what the future might hold for education, in two cross-curricular lessons specially developed for Teachers TV.

Map of Future Forces Affecting Education

Map of Future Forces Affecting Education
KnowledgeWorks Foundation (KWF) and the Institute For The Future (IFTF) are pleased to present the KWF/IFTF Map of Future Forces Affecting Education. The map was created by aggregating the opinions of relevant experts who create intensive case studies based on field research.
he map is a forecast — a credible, internally consistent view of how future forces will affect the components of public education. It is not a prediction; it does not claim to be a certain statement of what will happen. As a result, the map is most helpful if users do not quarrel with the forecast. Since the future as spelled out in the map might plausibly happen, you can make use of it to spark your thinking about education, regardless of whether or not the map turns out to be a perfectly accurate prediction.

The substitute teacher of the future is a robot who answers spit-wads with bullets. He'll clean up the gang situation of the school, too, if a government agent doesn't catch him first for an experimental robot Army.

"Teachers are most effective when they work on a one-to-one basis with students, but human teachers can't work in this way with everyone in the class at once. Software agents can, and they can be available all the time,"
