In the Future, the Whole World Will Be a Classroom

Futurist Marina Gorbis discusses the future of education and how a new "socialstructured" world will change how everyone–children and adults–learns.

We are moving away from the model in which learning is organized around stable, usually hierarchical institutions (schools, colleges, universities) that, for better and worse, have served as the main gateways to education and social mobility. Replacing that model is a new system in which learning is best conceived of as a flow, where learning resources are not scarce but widely available, opportunities for learning are abundant, and learners increasingly have the ability to autonomously dip into and out of continuous learning flows.

On June 17, 2013, IFTF Executive Director Marina Gorbis spoke about these ideas with Fast Company senior writer Anna Kamenetz. View the resulting webinar below, or watch on Fast Company's Futurist Forum.
