White paper

Let's get personal

White Paper: Personalisation and e-learning

Technology is getting really personal. We have gone from personal computers to personal stereos, mobiles and digital jewellery in a very short time indeed. Technology is now truly personal and pervasive with concepts like wearable and even paintable computing.

Looking even further into the future, cameras embedded in a necklace, your clothing or glasses may record everything you see. This data may be saved off wirelessly and be available for recall through a search engine. Every learning experience could be recalled, every lecture, book you’ve read, conference attended. The limitations of memory overcome forever. Now that’s what I call a personalised e-portfolio!
