New and emerging technologies

I was interviewed recently by the team from Sponge UK in the beautiful gardens of Drake's Place, at Plymouth University. The video below is the result of that interview, in which I answer questions such as: what emerging technology trends have the greatest potential for learning? What tips you you have for people wanting to invest in emerging technology? and should we be waiting until our learners adopt new technology or should we be leading the way as learning providers?

As you might expect, smart mobile technologies, personal learning environments and social learning feature prominently. I also take a gaze into the near future of technology supported learning with some comments on augmented reality, the semantic web and the rise in bring your own device strategies in the workplace.
