The 21st Century offers a raft of challenges and opportunities for education systems globally and nationally. We are beginning to see the emergence of new technologies that could transform our understanding of learning. What learning relationships might be, how people learn, who they learn with and from, what they learn and when they learn, are no longer fixed or given. Education systems and practices must change to deal with these new possibilities in a networked world and place learners at the centre of engaging learning processes. Future technological developments drawing on biosciences, pervasive information resources and augmented and virtual realities will open up more and more possibilities meaning education must become more flexible and responsive to harness and utilise the learning potential these afford.
