How do you expect people to learn in the future?

"How do you expect people to learn in the future?" A question I heard recently, which will never be out of date... here is how I viewed it ten years ago.

I remember, fifty years ago, I thought that by the end of the century cars would have almost disappeared and we will all be equipped with personal helicopters… It is the way I expected people to travel in the future! I am afraid that the question is as risky today in the case of learning. What I expect, is more relevant environments because of the development of virtual reality and a better understanding of learning and teaching (training). Learning may not change a lot in the coming fifty years, but the learning opportunities and possibilities may improve a lot; in particular behavioural learning and training should dramatically develop (acquisition of tacit knowledge, learning of how to perform professional gestures). On the other hand, if reliable and secure on-line certification develops, then lifelong learning which always existed from an individual perspective, may become a reality from an institutional perspective. Failure in the initial formal schooling will appear far less critical, and eventually the institutional models of school and training systems could change at this point since evaluation and assessment is the real driving force of any (to-be-) institutionalised learning.

Some progress since then?
