Next Generation Education 4.0 Systems - Part 1

You may have already run across the terms Industry 4.0, Work 4.0, Health 4.0 … It's now time to start talking about emerging efforts to collaborate on designing and building next generation Education 4.0 solutions.

The U.S. is in the process of developing and implementing Education 3.0, which is an umbrella term used to describe a variety of ways we have been moving over the past decade to better integrate digital technologies into learning using web-based and mobile technologies. It involves moving away from classes and traditional lectures, focusing instead on interactive learning customized to needs of individual students. These efforts will continue well into the next decade.

Looking a bit further into the future, Education 4.0 is a term starting to be used to describe the systems that will be put into place by 2040 to complement and support the global shift to Manufacturing 4.0, Health 4.0, and other next generation advances in every industry and aspect of society. It is characterized by more advanced and innovative systems utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), invisible user interfaces (IUI), and the convergence of many other new technologies - coupled with 'open access' to knowledge, science, and other data resources.


Five Issues With ‘Traditional’ Schools


Excerpts from “A Model for the Future of Education”
  • Grading: In the traditional education system, you start at an “A,” and every time you get something wrong, your score gets lower and lower. It’s demotivating. In the online gaming world (e.g. Angry Birds), it’s just the opposite. You start with zero and every time you come up with something right, your score gets higher and higher.
  • Sage on the Stage: Most classrooms have a teacher up in front of class lecturing to a classroom of students, half of whom are bored and half of whom are lost. The one-teacher-fits-all model comes from an era of scarcity where great teachers and schools were rare.
  • Relevance: When I think back to elementary and secondary school, I realize how much of what I learned was never actually useful later in life, and how many of my critical lessons for success I had to pick up on my own. I don’t know about you, but I haven’t ever actually had to factor a polynomial in my adult life.
  • Imagination vs. Coloring inside the Lines: With the factory-worker, industrial-era origin of today’s schools, programs are so structured with rote memorization that it squashes the originality from most children. In today’s world, we need to foster imagination and innovative ideas in our schools.
  • Boring: If learning in school is a chore, boring, or emotionless, then the most important driver of human learning is disengaged. i.e. passion. Having our children memorize facts and figures, sit passively in class, and take mundane standardized tests completely defeats the purpose.
An average of 7,200 students drop out of high school each day, totaling 1.3 million each year. Over 50 percent of these high school dropouts name 'boredom' as the number one reason they left.


New Technologies for 'Next Gen' Education Systems


The following is a brief brainstormed list of new technologies, educational needs, processes, projections, and predictions about the field of Education & Training in 2050. Some of the many slowly converging technologies will have a tremendous impact on the future of Education & Training in the coming decades include:

Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Augmented Reality
Brain Interface Technologies
Free & Open Source Software
Free & Open Access Textbooks
Implantable Systems Invisible User Interface (IUI) Language Translation Technology
Multimedia Educational Materials
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC)
Mobile Technology & Apps
Personal Learning Assistant
Robotics
Social Media
Telepathy
Televideo
Virtual Reality
Virtual Classrooms
Wearable systems
3D Printing Technology


The question is, what attributes will be most critical for our children to learn in order to be successful in the future? We'll explore that further in Part 2 of this series. In the meantime, check out the following selected links.

  1. I find something in herbal medicine good to share on here with anyone suffering from the disease such as HIV, Herpes, Hepatitis or Chronic Lyme Disease, Lupus as well.Dr Itua herbal made cure my HIV and gave me hope that he can cure all types of diseases I believed him) I do the best of myself that I can do, I went for a program in west Africa about fashion on another side I was HIV positive. I walk through a nearby village for our program schedule then I found a signage notice that says Dr Itua Herbal Center then I asked my colleagues what all about this very man called Dr Itua, She told me that he's a herbal doctor and he can cure all kind of disease i walked to him and explain myself to him as I'm a strangler out there he prepared me herbal medicine and told me how to drink it for two weeks, when I get to my hotel room I take a look at it then says a prayer before I drank it not knowing after two weeks I went to test and I found out I was negative I ran to him to pay him more but he refuses and says I should share his works for me around the globe so sick people can see as well. I'm writing a lot about him this season so that is how I was cured by drinking Dr Itua herbal medicine, He's A caring man with godly heart. Well - everything I decided all go through for me well and how you're going to treat this new aspect to your life. You don't have to suffer alone, and it's okay to ask for help. It also doesn't have to be a constant demon, as you'll get to know your body and yourself in a much deeper way than most people. Take advantage of this, as it will help you appreciate Africa Herbal Made.
