Coen FreeLiving and Learning in a Complicated 3D WorldChange is a fact of life, as is innovation. A number of unique and defining revolutionary ‘moments’ can be identified in our centuries-old history. Take, for example, the invention of the printing press in 1450, which led to the Renaissance, and the concepts of Enlightenment, which led to the Industrial Revolution in 1760. Today, at the beginning of the 21st century, we are also at a juncture in which similar changes are in store for us, some of which are already in progress. Our society is under great pressure as a result of globalization, technological developments and changing competitive relationships between the USA, Europe and Asia. Old values, standards and certainties can no longer be taken for granted. Society is constantly evolving. National borders are fading. All kinds of familiar systems seem to be coming to the end of their lifecycle. One of the greatest revolutions, through technological developments, is the creation of new spaces. For centuries the world has only known one kind of space: the physical space; the world of buildings and spatial planning. A space that gradually offered too little room for the discovering person. Two more spaces have since been added: the mental space - the emerging world of thinking and imagination, and the digital space - the world of cyberspace. Although neither is tangible, they do have a considerable influence on our whole lives, our day-to-day lives, ànd on our learning processes. In this brand new 3D world we have to live and to learn. What does all this mean for schools and colleges? Read Coen Free's biography here. |
