Technology and Society
Human beings use intelligence, judgement, sensitivity, emotions, empathy and experience to deliver unique and
personal experiences – differentiating us from machines
![Page 28: Immersive Technologies and Learning and Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052600/557bff90d8b42a72228b51a7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Machines and Humans
Power, speed, efficiency, accuracy, stamina,
capacity, availability, inflexible
Judgement, sensitivity, care, humanity, fallibility,
creativity, versatility

Humanising Technology
To love and be loved vs devoid of emotion Personalisation vs one size fits all Easy to use interfaces vs unnatural devices Persistent history vs blank pages Facilitated new discovery vs delivery of existing Understanding & Wisdom vs Memorisation Need to be Connected vs isolated Motivation and challenge vs boring & repetitive Creative expression vs standard responses

Impact on Education & Learning
![Page 37: Immersive Technologies and Learning and Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052600/557bff90d8b42a72228b51a7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Technology and Learning
We use technology to try to make learning faster, easier, more powerful and more efficient in a world which is
exploding with information and new knowledge
![Page 38: Immersive Technologies and Learning and Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052600/557bff90d8b42a72228b51a7/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Who do we learn most from ?
Technology can help us disseminate information to a global network of learners and through repetition develop
skills and memory but humans inspire us, influence us, motivate us, shape our attitudes and behaviours and help us to imagine, innovate, dream, discover, desire and act.
![Page 39: Immersive Technologies and Learning and Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052600/557bff90d8b42a72228b51a7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The Challenge of the Digital Native
Immersive Technologies are changing the face of education
![Page 40: Immersive Technologies and Learning and Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052600/557bff90d8b42a72228b51a7/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The Multi-Tasking Generation
There is medical evidence to indicate that the brains of young people are becoming
increasingly “hard-wired” for multi-tasking - making them able to handle (and expect) multiple simultaneous information sources
and to make judgements on which sources to give attention to.
How can/should society respond to this ?
![Page 41: Immersive Technologies and Learning and Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052600/557bff90d8b42a72228b51a7/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
What does Education need from Technology ?
In a rapidly changing Knowledge Society, Education needs tools and technologies to inspire us, influence us,
motivate us, shape our attitudes and behaviours and help us to imagine, innovate, dream, discover, desire and act.

Conclusion
Tomorrow’s learners are using technologies access and manage a rapidly growing wealth of information BUT they need inspiration,
motivation, and ability to live in a fast changing world
