Why Mobile is important?Why Mobile is important?

“Wireless personal communications is revolutionising telecommunications and will impact society in major ways in the coming decade with the evolution of wireless Internet and short range access technologies”

“It will facilitate ‘anything, everywhere, always on-line’ communications, not simply today’s person-to-person, but increasingly machine-to-machine communications”

Broadband DeploymentBroadband Deployment (1984) Corporate America used Broadband for factory

automation (GM, Ford,etc)

(1988) U.S. government used Broadband for facility-wide network (Rock Island Arsenal in IL)

(1991) Universities used Broadband for campus-wide networks (Emory University, University of Michigan)

(1995) Cable operators empowered the consumers (all over the U.S., 400 sites were tried)

(2001) Millions are using Broadband technology worldwide

(2010) Estimated 100 Million will use Broadband technology worldwide

2121stst Century Context Century Context Dramatic growth of information (computer)

and communication technologies. Efficient global transportation systems. Recognition of limited natural resources

and adverse environmental effects. Diminishing effects of location due to virtual 24x7 workplaces and marketplaces.

Increasing globalization affecting industry, academia, and governments.

Continuous Learning is New ParadigmContinuous Learning is New Paradigm

The new economy is heavy on intellectual capital. The sharing of knowledge is what really makes it go.

People should expect lifelong learning, not necessarily lifelong employment.

Kinds of Knowledge*Kinds of Knowledge*Explicit

– Contained in manuals and procedures.– Easy to teach and to transfer.

Tacit– Know-how learned through experience.– Hard to teach and to transfer (indirectly

through metaphor and analogy).

* Nonaka and Takeuchi, The Knowledge-Creating Company, 1995.

Educational IssuesEducational Issues Transition from Industrial Age to Knowledge Age

and economy requires:– Universities become learning organizations* as well as

learning centers (rather than teaching centers).– Broad undergraduate education—“new” liberal arts.

Innovation demands collaboration:– Historically, schools encouraged individual competition.– New infrastructure needed to support teamwork.

New culture needed for knowledge management—requires willingness to share.

* Peter Senge, The Fifth Discipline, 1990.

Changing PedagogyChanging Pedagogy

Traditional: Teacher Centric Single Medium Individual Work Passive Learning Artificial Context

Future: Student Centric Multimedia Collaborative Work Active Learning Real Problems

Desired Educational OutcomesDesired Educational OutcomesFundamentals and necessary technical

depth.Life Skills—communicate effectively,

teamwork, leadership, impact of technology on society, ethics, global perspective.

Sustainable lifelong learning skills.Experience both explicit and tacit

knowledge transfer—learning outside classroom.

Implications for Technological Implications for Technological EducationEducation

Technological education should produce generalists (breadth) at undergraduate level.

Provide undergraduates with opportunities to gain global experience working in teams in situ.

Leave detailed specialization (depth) for graduate studies.

Information technology fully leveraged. Meet needs for lifelong learning.

Learning CenteredLearning CenteredExperiential—learn by doing.Three major projects required for all

students:– Sufficiency.– Interactive Qualifying Project.– Major Qualifying Project.

Significant learning outside classroom.Oral and written reports to sponsors.

Revised InfrastructureRevised InfrastructureFour 7-week terms.Students can work full time for a term

on major projects.Grading system promotes exploration

and risk taking.Promoted teamwork by eliminating

student competition for GPAs and class rank.

Heavy reliance on information technology.

Global Perspective ProgramGlobal Perspective ProgramProject sites around world for 25 years.Many projects continue from team to

team with same in-country sponsors.Major sites beginning to support

graduate projects and faculty internships and consulting.

Working to organize sites around research themes rather than geographic location.

Virtual Technology is transforming the way we: Conduct commerce Conduct government Practice health care Design and build things Deal with the environment

Communicate Deal with information Work Learn Conduct research

Virtual technology is creating a new infrastructure for business, scientific research, and social interaction

A 21st Century Virtual CommunityA 21st Century Virtual Community

is a community that has the necessary planning processes,

Physical and virtual infrastructure, community services to meet these goals:

– Prepare for unprecedented resident population and visitor growth

– Compete in a global economy to create new jobs,

– reduce unemployment,– increase incomes.

ConclusionsConclusions The Fourth Wave of change is Virtual Age. The Virtual Age, like IT, will be considered as a

cloud. Most of economic productivity of world since

1980 due to innovation and underlying science and engineering in the field of Information Technology, it will be the same for Virtual Age.

Virtual-based societies of next century will value even more highly research, innovation, and human capital as the principal assets of nations.

Conclusions Conclusions (continued)(continued)

Information processes to virtualization processes.

The Virtual Age is creating virtual world.

Virtual education must adapt to challenges of new millennium.

The human mind will create information for its own sake.

Conclusions Conclusions (continued)(continued)At Virtual Age we Must prepare

graduates to:– Work in interdisciplinary, multicultural

teams.– Be adaptable with tolerance of virtual

society, virtual commerce, virtual government, virtual entertainment, virtual money, virtual books, … .

– Remain current through lifelong virtual learning.

– Computer literacy will be an obligation for human.

The EndThe End

Finally, entering to Virtual Age (perhaps, two decade from now), our needs for food (1st wave), goods (2nd wave) and information technology (3rd wave) have been met,and then we need something more that is ‘spirituality’.
