The global education and training sector has been warned that it is “hurtling towards massive change without a plan.” Astrid Jaeger, Managing Director of OEB Learning Technologies Europe GmbH, which organises OEB Global, Europe’s leading conference on technology assisted learning and training, said today (Wednesday) that the education sector will have to change “fundamentally and quickly” to cope with new demands created by rapid technological change.
A senior adviser to Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and to the Finnish Government claimed yesterday (Thursday) that education ministers in England, Australia and the United States are continuing to invest in unsuccessful education systems, in spite of clear evidence that they are not working.
Education systems will need to be much more flexible, in order to cope with the demands of an age of increasing uncertainty. And teachers must be trained not only to teach, but also to redesign their institutions to keep up with the pace of change in society. These are just two of the recommendations set to be made by education and technology experts, taking part in OEB Global 2017, Europe’s largest conference on technology assisted learning and training.
International experts on data security and privacy in education are warning that the education sector may not be ready for the imminent implementation of the EU’s new law on data protection, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Trump, Brexit, climate change, new technologies, economic turbulence… We live in an increasingly uncertain world in which things are changing fast. What does it all mean for education and training? How should they adapt to meet the challenge of uncertainty? How can they help businesses and employers to cope with rapid and continuing change?

A widening gap between rapid technological development and the skills necessary for the 21st century workplace is holding back most economies.
In fact, not only could they replace them, but they should and will. That’s the view of two top education technology experts, who’ll be at the OEB Debate in Berlin later this month to argue their case that substituting artificial intelligence for real teachers will boost quality and lead to better results.
Could students take charge of their own education? Could they control what, when, how and where they learn? They are already beginning to do exactly that - and what's happened so far is just the tip of the iceberg, according to many of the experts scheduled to speak at OEB, Europe's leading conference on technology-assisted learning.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can support learning processes – of this many AI experts are certain, and Roger Schank is one of them. He visualises a technology-supported learning process in which an AI mentor would appear to help learners whenever they get stuck or have a question. The cognitive psychologist and AI theorist will be one of the key speakers at the 22nd OEB, Europe’s leading conference in the realm of digital learning and training.

Can learning prosper in the Internet age? Technology is dismantling the traditional power structures of learning – such as the division between teacher and pupil, or between work and learning. But is this a truly democratic world of opportunity – or must we fear descent into anarchy?
Modern education is evolving into a different shape. Faced with the demands of a complex world, today's learning is being delivered in a multiplicity of forms and a variety of environments. What will the shape of future learning look like? How are we changing learning to meet new demands? These and other questions will be raised at the 20th edition of ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN on December 3 – 5, 2014. Proposals for this year’s overall theme, Changing Learning, can be submitted before June 2nd, 2014: ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN is looking for the services, case studies, research, thinking, narratives and expertise that are shaping technology enhanced learning and training.
The hyper-connected individual has vast power beneath his fingertips. Logging onto the internet may have become a banality of the modern age, but our engagement with it promises vast benefits - and hitherto unheard-of dangers. This was one of the focal points of the Opening Plenary at ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN 2013.

From e-textbooks to game-based learning, these teaching methods are giving pupils extra incentives to immerse themselves in their studies.
96% of Europeans believe that Intellectual Property (IP) is important because it supports innovation and creativity by rewarding inventors, creators and artists for their work.
Taking their cues from sites like Amazon and Google, universities are now utilising big data to provide students with recommended courses and majors. But after recent revelations involving government snooping, how can we trust educational institutions and service providers to use large amounts of data ethically?
International experts are warning that an avalanche is heading towards traditional education. According to Sir Michael Barber, chief education strategist of ICT specialists Pearson, "an education revolution is coming" which offers "opportunities to transform outcomes for learners everywhere".
An avalanche is set to transform the traditional university model, according to Sir Michael Barber, Pearson’s Chief Education Adviser. Speaking before an audience of over 2000 participants from about 100 countries at ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN, Barber explained that factors such as the globalisation of education, the changing economy, and now ubiquitous nature of content are changing the face of education, and a revolution is inevitable.
Recent developments in course provision and technology, alongside increasing youth unemployment, are challenging the current system of diplomas and degrees. Some argue that the current system is no longer fit for purpose: it is failing students, undermining good teachers and letting down employers. But what are the alternatives? Don't we need a tried and tested assessment system to underpin our education system and provide a benchmark for students? The stage is set for a major battle between educational traditionalists and radical modernisers as this year's ONLINE EDUCA debate discusses the motion that "a ban on diplomas and degrees awarded by schools and universities would have a positive impact on competence development and lifelong learning".
The advent of the economic crisis coupled with innovative technological developments are forcing businesses to navigate their way through uncertain territory. Technology has enabled us to connect, to create new models for business, and to exchange knowledge instantly, but it has also created new challenges: we are increasingly vulnerable to sudden incidents outside of our direct control. How can businesses deliver competitive advantage in a VUCA world – one which is characterised by Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity? What strategy should businesses employ to ensure the effectiveness of their workplace learning strategy? And could the field of behavioural science hold the key?

Berlin. In spite of the increasing availability of innovative digital learning tools, many companies are still stuck in their ways when it comes to workplace learning. According to Martin Moehrle, learning consultant and former Chief Learning Officer at Deutsche Bank AG, 'In many of today's workplaces, the culture of learning is still a child of the 20th Century: having evolved in an industrialised context, it is not designed for the knowledge-based context into which we are transitioning.'

'Learning cultures and media skills' is the theme of the 3rd School Forum taking place on November 30, 2011 in Berlin, Germany.
