future of learning and curriculum development

if you really want to see the future of learning and curriculum development you need to put a few items together.  First, accept the reality that the online world is having a larger impact on the digital natives than your digital immigration status lets you see.  Second, accept the fact that our current educational structures are in decay. Third, look at current learning theoryand instructional design methodologies combined with current gaming innovations and the crop of media (software) developers coming of age (or already have).  Fourth, consider what the next iteration of the Web is. And what do you get, the future of learning.
