Where is learning going?
I saw recently that a new search engine is being launched which can answer questions more intelligently than Google.
It will eventually start to impact the way we get information from the web. Very interesting I thought. To see the full article from the Sydney Morning Herald go to http://tiny.cc/huosE
It made me start thinking about the evolution of learning.
Everywhere I look most learning is focused on content – what to do, how to do, when to do, top tips, recommendations, best practice, how top performers do it etc. But all this is just information. As the world progresses all of this is being increasingly available at the touch of a button or from the recommendation of a friend via a social network. It’s not the real evolution of learning.
For me the real evolution of learning is that people will get it’s not about the content or knowledge. Content and knowledge is so readily available now.
The real evolution of learning will be when people really understand it’s about the transfer of learning into action.
What you personally know is now irrelevant. What you do with what you know makes the difference.
I’d love your thoughts.
