Trend Watcher Rob Creemers gave a multimedia presentation at a pace to match his topic of how fast the world is changing.
- The ability to order something you like the look of which you see in a TV programme (eg a coffee set). - Refrigerators which ring up when you run out of milk and mobile telephones to direct you, via a global positioning system, to the nearest grocers for more milk. - The ability, on your mobile telephone, to check and compare prices of a product that you have seen in a shop to ensure they are competitively priced. . . . . . . . . and much more. Online learningMany claim to be presenting online learning, yet when you look behind there was often a core text that was sent to the student.For example Giselle Martins dos Santos Ferreira, a lecturer in telematics at the Open University, presented their course on "You, your computer and the net" as the first undergraduate OU course delivered completely via the internet (currently to more than 12,000 students).
