The World Innovation Summit on Education (WISE) Debate
The WISE Debate Panel at University of Salford
The Qatar Foundation and The British Council joined forces on Tuesday at the University of Salford to organise a debate on “The
Future Models of Learning: will the teaching profession as we have known it become obsolete? Speaking for the motion were
Dale Stephens, Founder of the UnCollege Movement, Professor Sugata Mitra, most famous for his “Hole in the Wall” experiment
and Daniel Stephens, NUS International Students Officer. Against the motion were Professor Martin Hall, Vice Chancellor of the
University of Salford, Pamela Wright OBE, Executive Headmaster of Wade Deacon High School and Muhammed Bilal, WISE
Learners’ Voice.
This was the first time I had been to Salford Quays or used the Manchester Metrolink and I was mightily impressed by both.
Perhaps influenced by the wonderfully scenic train journey along the Hope Valley line between Sheffield and Manchester with its
“Mountains Green”, “Pleasant Pastures” and “Dark Satanic Mills”, I thought Salford Quays and the MetroLink were brilliant
examples of urban regeneration at its best. The building where the event took place also co-hosts the Granada Studios, home of
“Coronation Street”.
Prior to the debate, an audience vote rejected the motion, suggesting that the majority believed that the teaching profession as
we have known it is not obsolete. I was somewhat surprised at this, given the impact of technology on teaching and learning, and
unfortunately I had to leave the debate early to catch the last train home but I was able to hear all the arguments and several
questions from the floor.
Dale Stephens used some USA based statistics to indicate that home learners from all social backgrounds performed well against
those taught at college or university and his argument suggested that traditional education is too expensive and bad value for
money, implying that self-directed learning made teachers obsolete. Professor Mitra did not suggest that teachers themselves
were obsolete and, for me, his was the most compelling argument focusing on the phrase “as we have known it” to argue that
traditional teaching based on knowledge dissemination was redundant. He suggested that exam students be given an iPad with
free access to the internet. The final speaker, Daniel Stephens, also argued that physical campus learning was not the only model
for learning and he too suggested that teachers were not obsolete, only the traditions of knowledge dissemination.
For the opposition, a very articulate argument by Professor Hall suggested that technology, whilst revolutionising learning, could
never make teachers redundant and he also argued that universities and colleges provided certification which was essential to
future employment. Pamela Wright delivered the most passionate endorsement of the value of good teachers but interestingly
focused on the way in which good teachers inspired and motivated learners by personalising their approach to the individual
student, something, she argued, that technology could not do. The final speaker, Muhammed Bilal, used his personal experiences
as a student to argue that technology could not replace teachers.
For me, with the exception of Dale Stephens, everyone seemed in agreement that teachers themselves were not obsolete but
that technology had made the knowledge dissemination role of the teacher as a subject matter expert obsolete. Professor Mitra
hit the nail on the head with his focus on the “teaching profession as we have known it”.
Given the developments in artificial intelligence that are mainly driven by the commercial necessity to personalise on line services,
it will be interesting to see whether the unique human abilities of good teachers to inspire and motivate might one day be
overtaken by the power and sophistication of crowd sourcing and cloud computing.
Smart Society Applications and Grand Challenges
I have been working with Milan based serious games specialists Imaginary on an EU funded FP7 project on the “Smart Society”.
This project seeks to explore how computing power to process data can augment human judgement in what are known as
“Complex Adaptive Systems” (CAS). In helping to develop scenario storylines based on a future with unlimited but undefined
technological development, I was struck by the relevance of this project to the EU’s Grand Challenges, and extract of which is
shown below :-
Grand challenges involve a combination of major public and private interests, are seen as key for realising future economic growth,
and are concerned with important social and/or environmental problems. Grand challenges are not to be defined, assessed or
solved by any single scientific or technological discipline or within one specific sectoral policy framework. Societies are facing
complex, interlinked, global and local challenges. For challenges like healthy aging and climate change it is evident that we need
new policies, new governance models, new innovation solutions and strategies, and new investment models. But the necessary
holistic or generic approach also includes the need for highly specialised knowledge and highly specific technological and
organizational solutions. Grand challenges involve many different stakeholders, are multidimensional, transdisciplinary, systemic
and they require new ways of thinking which go beyond traditional frameworks and disciplines. And they lead to a need to re-think
research and innovation policy.
See http://ec.europa.eu/research/erab/pdf/erab-study-grand-challanages-2012_en.pdf
It seems to me that the heart of the problem is that the increasing technological empowerment of individual citizens is providing
levels of freedom, choice and power that are unprecedented and represent a challenge to all aspects of our societal traditions. I
touched on this in my book “Gadgets to God” and every day I read of incidents around the globe where there is an increasing
disconnect between power and responsibility. Every time I go through the security checks at airports and have to put my toiletries
in a plastic bag, I am reminded that the actions of a handful of individuals with terrorist intent resulted in cost and inconvenience
to many millions of travellers every year.
Smart Society applications which combine computing power with the “judgement of Solomon” may help to reconnect power with
responsibility and strike a balance between the rights and responsibilities of citizens and the need for a sustainable future society.
The Future of Serious Games and Immersive Technologies
On Monday June 10th
, I will be speaking at the Eurosis (European Multidisciplinary Society for Modelling and Simulation) ECEC
Euromedia Fubutec 2013 conference with the opening keynote presentation on the Future of Serious Games and Immersive
Technologies – see http://www.eurosis.org/cms/index.php?q=node/2346 for the full conference programme.. It is a theme I
spoken about many times in many places over the last few years but I sense a quantum shift in the impact that these technologies
and applications are likely to have on business and society over the next few years and the commercial opportunities these
developments are likely to generate.
I get a strong feeling that the maturing and convergence of a number of emerging technologies is likely to create a real surge in
demand for the skills and services of those involved in immersive technologies such as video games, social networks and virtual
worlds. The trigger for these developments, in my opinion, is likely to be wireless sensor technologies linked to mobile devices.
Over the coming months (not years) I believe there will be a raft of devices capable of measuring and tracking our personal
environment, status and activities. Once this data becomes available to us, we will have the potential to access, visualise, interpret
and control our lifestyles and relationships in unprecedented ways.
I anticipate a huge demand not only for such devices (see Health Applications below) but also for applications, infrastructure and
social networks the enable us to manage our lives better. Companies who understand serious games, data visualisation and
augmented reality are well placed to see exponential growth.
I plan to post my presentation on Slideshare after the conference.
Gamification Thoughts
Gamification workshop presentation
Gamification is becoming a hot topic but, like the phrase “serious games” before it, its very name is likely to be the source of much
misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Games and game mechanics, by themselves, have very little to do with what I believe
the process of gamification is or should be about. I would prefer to use the phrase “relationshipification” as a more meaningful
expression of the real value of gamification. In my mind, one of the biggest challenges of the late 20th
and 21st
centuries is to
restore, develop and protect relationships of all kinds including customer/supplier, Govt/citizen, teacher/student, men/women
and parent/child.
The empowering nature of technology has brought with it freedom of choice which in turn has led to the breakdown of many
traditional relationships and the dilution of the notion of mutual dependence. The Gamification workshop I run uses a
methodology designed to identify stakeholder “win-win” scenarios and use these to shape technological solutions designed to
cost-effectively strengthen relationships through approaches which engage those involved. The structure of the two day version
of the workshop can be downloaded here
Games for Health Applications
The Jawbone Up Bracelet for lifestyle monitoring
Early next week I expect to take delivery of a device which embodies many of the ideas and visions already discussed in this
newsletter. The Jawbone Up bracelet (https://jawbone.com/up) device is worn around the wrist 24/7 and monitors many
different parameters that can influence our lifestyle and well-being. Over the coming months, I will be using this device to make
myself a living laboratory on the impact of wireless sensors and wellbeing applications on personal health and wellbeing.
I am particularly interested in monitoring and visualising such parameters as sleep patterns, exercise, inactivity and calorie intake
to see how this knowledge and insight affects my daily routines and general health.

Immersive Technology Strategies June 2013 E-Newsletter

  • 1. Welcome to the June 2013 Immersive Technology Strategies Newsletter. In this Newsletter  The World Innovation Summit on Education (WISE) Debate  Smart Society Applications  The Future of Serious Games and Immersive Technologies  Gamification Thoughts  Games for Health Applications  Gamification Competition  Upcoming Conferences and Seminars  Slideshare Archives The World Innovation Summit on Education (WISE) Debate The WISE Debate Panel at University of Salford The Qatar Foundation and The British Council joined forces on Tuesday at the University of Salford to organise a debate on “The Future Models of Learning: will the teaching profession as we have known it become obsolete? Speaking for the motion were Dale Stephens, Founder of the UnCollege Movement, Professor Sugata Mitra, most famous for his “Hole in the Wall” experiment and Daniel Stephens, NUS International Students Officer. Against the motion were Professor Martin Hall, Vice Chancellor of the University of Salford, Pamela Wright OBE, Executive Headmaster of Wade Deacon High School and Muhammed Bilal, WISE Learners’ Voice. This was the first time I had been to Salford Quays or used the Manchester Metrolink and I was mightily impressed by both. Perhaps influenced by the wonderfully scenic train journey along the Hope Valley line between Sheffield and Manchester with its “Mountains Green”, “Pleasant Pastures” and “Dark Satanic Mills”, I thought Salford Quays and the MetroLink were brilliant examples of urban regeneration at its best. The building where the event took place also co-hosts the Granada Studios, home of “Coronation Street”. Prior to the debate, an audience vote rejected the motion, suggesting that the majority believed that the teaching profession as we have known it is not obsolete. I was somewhat surprised at this, given the impact of technology on teaching and learning, and unfortunately I had to leave the debate early to catch the last train home but I was able to hear all the arguments and several questions from the floor. Dale Stephens used some USA based statistics to indicate that home learners from all social backgrounds performed well against those taught at college or university and his argument suggested that traditional education is too expensive and bad value for money, implying that self-directed learning made teachers obsolete. Professor Mitra did not suggest that teachers themselves were obsolete and, for me, his was the most compelling argument focusing on the phrase “as we have known it” to argue that traditional teaching based on knowledge dissemination was redundant. He suggested that exam students be given an iPad with free access to the internet. The final speaker, Daniel Stephens, also argued that physical campus learning was not the only model for learning and he too suggested that teachers were not obsolete, only the traditions of knowledge dissemination. For the opposition, a very articulate argument by Professor Hall suggested that technology, whilst revolutionising learning, could never make teachers redundant and he also argued that universities and colleges provided certification which was essential to future employment. Pamela Wright delivered the most passionate endorsement of the value of good teachers but interestingly focused on the way in which good teachers inspired and motivated learners by personalising their approach to the individual student, something, she argued, that technology could not do. The final speaker, Muhammed Bilal, used his personal experiences as a student to argue that technology could not replace teachers. For me, with the exception of Dale Stephens, everyone seemed in agreement that teachers themselves were not obsolete but that technology had made the knowledge dissemination role of the teacher as a subject matter expert obsolete. Professor Mitra hit the nail on the head with his focus on the “teaching profession as we have known it”. Given the developments in artificial intelligence that are mainly driven by the commercial necessity to personalise on line services, it will be interesting to see whether the unique human abilities of good teachers to inspire and motivate might one day be overtaken by the power and sophistication of crowd sourcing and cloud computing. Smart Society Applications and Grand Challenges I have been working with Milan based serious games specialists Imaginary on an EU funded FP7 project on the “Smart Society”. This project seeks to explore how computing power to process data can augment human judgement in what are known as “Complex Adaptive Systems” (CAS). In helping to develop scenario storylines based on a future with unlimited but undefined technological development, I was struck by the relevance of this project to the EU’s Grand Challenges, and extract of which is shown below :- Grand challenges involve a combination of major public and private interests, are seen as key for realising future economic growth, and are concerned with important social and/or environmental problems. Grand challenges are not to be defined, assessed or solved by any single scientific or technological discipline or within one specific sectoral policy framework. Societies are facing complex, interlinked, global and local challenges. For challenges like healthy aging and climate change it is evident that we need new policies, new governance models, new innovation solutions and strategies, and new investment models. But the necessary holistic or generic approach also includes the need for highly specialised knowledge and highly specific technological and organizational solutions. Grand challenges involve many different stakeholders, are multidimensional, transdisciplinary, systemic and they require new ways of thinking which go beyond traditional frameworks and disciplines. And they lead to a need to re-think research and innovation policy. See http://ec.europa.eu/research/erab/pdf/erab-study-grand-challanages-2012_en.pdf It seems to me that the heart of the problem is that the increasing technological empowerment of individual citizens is providing levels of freedom, choice and power that are unprecedented and represent a challenge to all aspects of our societal traditions. I touched on this in my book “Gadgets to God” and every day I read of incidents around the globe where there is an increasing disconnect between power and responsibility. Every time I go through the security checks at airports and have to put my toiletries in a plastic bag, I am reminded that the actions of a handful of individuals with terrorist intent resulted in cost and inconvenience to many millions of travellers every year. Smart Society applications which combine computing power with the “judgement of Solomon” may help to reconnect power with responsibility and strike a balance between the rights and responsibilities of citizens and the need for a sustainable future society. The Future of Serious Games and Immersive Technologies On Monday June 10th , I will be speaking at the Eurosis (European Multidisciplinary Society for Modelling and Simulation) ECEC Euromedia Fubutec 2013 conference with the opening keynote presentation on the Future of Serious Games and Immersive Technologies – see http://www.eurosis.org/cms/index.php?q=node/2346 for the full conference programme.. It is a theme I spoken about many times in many places over the last few years but I sense a quantum shift in the impact that these technologies and applications are likely to have on business and society over the next few years and the commercial opportunities these developments are likely to generate. I get a strong feeling that the maturing and convergence of a number of emerging technologies is likely to create a real surge in
  • 2. demand for the skills and services of those involved in immersive technologies such as video games, social networks and virtual worlds. The trigger for these developments, in my opinion, is likely to be wireless sensor technologies linked to mobile devices. Over the coming months (not years) I believe there will be a raft of devices capable of measuring and tracking our personal environment, status and activities. Once this data becomes available to us, we will have the potential to access, visualise, interpret and control our lifestyles and relationships in unprecedented ways. I anticipate a huge demand not only for such devices (see Health Applications below) but also for applications, infrastructure and social networks the enable us to manage our lives better. Companies who understand serious games, data visualisation and augmented reality are well placed to see exponential growth. I plan to post my presentation on Slideshare after the conference. Gamification Thoughts Gamification workshop presentation Gamification is becoming a hot topic but, like the phrase “serious games” before it, its very name is likely to be the source of much misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Games and game mechanics, by themselves, have very little to do with what I believe the process of gamification is or should be about. I would prefer to use the phrase “relationshipification” as a more meaningful expression of the real value of gamification. In my mind, one of the biggest challenges of the late 20th and 21st centuries is to restore, develop and protect relationships of all kinds including customer/supplier, Govt/citizen, teacher/student, men/women and parent/child. The empowering nature of technology has brought with it freedom of choice which in turn has led to the breakdown of many traditional relationships and the dilution of the notion of mutual dependence. The Gamification workshop I run uses a methodology designed to identify stakeholder “win-win” scenarios and use these to shape technological solutions designed to cost-effectively strengthen relationships through approaches which engage those involved. The structure of the two day version of the workshop can be downloaded here Games for Health Applications The Jawbone Up Bracelet for lifestyle monitoring Early next week I expect to take delivery of a device which embodies many of the ideas and visions already discussed in this newsletter. The Jawbone Up bracelet (https://jawbone.com/up) device is worn around the wrist 24/7 and monitors many different parameters that can influence our lifestyle and well-being. Over the coming months, I will be using this device to make myself a living laboratory on the impact of wireless sensors and wellbeing applications on personal health and wellbeing. I am particularly interested in monitoring and visualising such parameters as sleep patterns, exercise, inactivity and calorie intake to see how this knowledge and insight affects my daily routines and general health.
