11. Challenges: Generations and Life-course: ... By 2030 half the population will be over 50, one quarter over 65 ...ageing societies require the transfer of educational resources between young and old... The role of qualifications will need to be re-examined ... radical longevity...education as familys active health State, Market, Third Sector :... Education is likely to be pluralistically funded by individuals, communities, employers, governments and private enterprise ... Pressure groups as the new opposition... Role of industrymembers as teachers ...Links between young people learning and workforce development Knowledge, Creativity and Communication:... Provigiland cosmetic neurology ... Performance through smart drugs may require a trade off with creativity and originality... New forms of sharing and communicating ... A change in what is perceived as important, new and necessary knowledge ... New ways of organising and representing knowledge Identities, Citizenship and Communities: Fertility rate that is below the replacement level and high levels of inward migration lead to a lower proportion of younger people and a more ethnically diverse ageing population... Relationships between geographic, language-based, religious and virtual communities ...Online identities, avatars, virtual presence Working and Employment: ... Changing working hours and locations, and the implications for how schooling is organised... Changing organisation of schooling, and the implications for working hours and locations... Retirement based upon medical records not age ... Multi-generational workforces 12. Emerging social trends

• Aging population (healthy or unhealthy?)

• Continued importance of childhood education for future success

• Rise of parental purchasing power and informal learning economy

• Increased rapid migration across all socio-economic groups

• Development of reconstituted and complex family structures

• Intensification of work across all areas of life

• Increasingly complex IT systems outstrip human capacity to manage and predict outcomes

• Blurring of the lines between public and private sector provision

13. Emerging technological trends

• • Continuation of Moores Lawhttp://tinyurl.com/SciTech

• • Processing power faster and cheaper

• Once per decade disruptions

• • Mainframe to mini-computers to PC to Mobile to ...

• Computing as bio-science

• • Learning from biology to inform design of systems

• Cosmetic psycho-pharmacology

• • Smart drugs, enhancements

• Invasive & non-invasive brain/machine interfaces

• • New ways to control and interact with technologies (prosthetics etc)

• 3D printing and printable electronics

• • In every school, learning centre, rapid manufacturing

• Artificial Intelligence remains hard

• • Technologies assist, rather than take over from human action

• Large scale systems of systems

• • Wide scale data sharing through complex systems

14. Changing context: what new approaches?

• Mobility

• Organising and bringing together

• Places and learning environments

• New solutions to old problems

• Access to formal knowledge

• Access to information

• New tasks

• New tools

TheHaptic Cowis a virtual reality simulator developed to train veterinary students to palpate the bovine reproductive tract, to perform fertility examinations and to diagnose pregnancy. The simulator uses haptic (touch feedback) technology, which allows a user to interact with a 3D virtual environment through the sense of touch. When being trained with the Haptic Cow, the student palpates computer generated virtual objects resembling parts of the bovine reproductive tract. The teacher provides instruction and feedback while following the student's actions inside the cow on the computer monitor. Phantom haptic 3D printers Nuffield Design/Young Foresight project QTC is clever stuff.It comes as thin sheets or a powder. It can be built into textiles or fixed to hard surfaces. In a relaxed state it is a good insulator. When it is stretched, squashed or twisted it becomes a conductor. The harder you stretch, squash or twist it the better it conducts. Its already been used in power tools and a robot hand. 24.
