Abstract: This keynote addresses the growing impact of societal factors like the notion of “Networked Society” in the further evolution of education. So far the role of technology in education has been marginal as it was limited to emulate and virtualize traditional face-to-face teacher/student interactions. Now when societal transformations become visible, it is inevitable that education shifts its accent from the transfer- into the development of new expertise for instance via problem-based learning. The method for making rather accurate extrapolations of current trends into to-morrow’s practice is to re-interpret the recent educational transformations. As exemplar the potential impact of social media on education will be elaborated.
