\"DP-@-Blackpool-Life\"<\/a>OEB 2015 keynote speaker David Price, a learning futurist and best-selling author, hosted a Twitter chat around the theme: How will we work, live and learn in the future?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Co-founder of the culture change company We Do Things Differently, and Senior Associate at the Innovation Unit, a not-for-profit enterprise committed to solving social challenges, Price provided the OEB community with insightful answers to their questions about what\u2019s in store for the future.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is a selection of his bite-sized Twitter tips (140 characters).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On education and learning<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What will a classroom look like in 2030?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Price says that, \u201cSchool should be where students meet to do work outside it. Basecamp for learning is not the destination. Classrooms haven\u2019t changed much in 100 years!\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On MOOCs: \u201cOpen online, social learning is here to stay. Massive? Maybe more fragmented, personalised and definitely blended with FTF [face-to-face].\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The OECD has warned that students don’t perform better with edtech. What do you think?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt depends on the tech, how it’s used (the pedagogy) and context. I\u2019m always wary of blanket statements. A pencil is edtech.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Will the Internet of Things enable us to learn anything, anywhere?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I think we already can learn ubiquitously. IoT just means we can never switch off!\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cLike Shirky says, it\u2019s filter failure that we have to solve, not more information.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

On work<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Price predicts that \u201cAs autonomy and freelancing increase, people skills become prime. Work will become more democratic because talent demands it – and it pays.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When asked whether robots will replace individuals at work, Price says that they \u201calready have in some industries! Transport will be next. We need societal debate about transition and what ‘work’ will mean.\u201d He adds: \u201cThere won\u2019t be enough \u2018jobs\u2019 for all. We need to consider living wage entitlement, whether you have a job or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When asked to give his view on the most valued studies and jobs, Price says: \u201cManagement, healthcare, social studies – all the courses we\u2019re told don\u2019t lead to jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

On the future<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe only thing we can be sure of is that change will happen quicker and more dramatically,\u201d says Price.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When asked whether innovation equates to real progress for humankind, Price says, \u201cIf it just adds more \u2018stuff\u2019 to our lives does it help or hinder? Real progress is in human value we trust others now. The pace of innovation and social connections means we will see huge strides in health, social inequality in the future – I hope!\u201d<\/p>\n
