Huawei smart glasses with HarmonyOS system launched
Huawei smart glasses support all-weather smart broadcasting. When worn for the first time every day, the accelerometer and gyroscope sensors in the glasses are sensed, and the product will automatically play the weather forecast and the day’s schedule.
At the same time, the glasses can intelligently broadcast information in the system APP and third-party APP applications such as WeChat and Meituan, such as flight and high-speed rail travel reminders, approaching schedule reminders, WeChat reminders, takeaway reminders, etc.

South Korea could lose up to half of its universities within 25 years due to acute demographic decline, according to a report by Seoul National University and the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs, which provides a long-term outlook on already dire short-term predictions for higher education institutions.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is the new Learning Styles
https://fillingthepail.substack.com/p/universal-design-for-learning-udl
UDL is a complicated way to teach. It involves giving multiple representations of the same information to students which they then choose from. Students also choose to work collaboratively or individually. And they decide how to demonstrate their learning through written work, a video, a poster or some other means.
UDL as a form of classroom differentiation. Differentiation – the process of giving different students in the same classroom different forms of instruction
a new paper by Dr. Guy A. Boysen of McKendree University in the U.S. Boysen claims that this lack of evidence is one of the five ways in which UDL parallels debunked learning styles theories.
Learning styles theories are still remarkably popular despite most serious researchers classing them as a ‘neuromyth’.

Why lifelong learning is the international passport to success
The university model needs to evolve.
https://bigthink.com/smart-skills/lifelong-learning/#Echobox=1640581247
universities and curricula are designed along the three unities of French classical tragedy: time, action, and place. Students meet at the university campus (unity of place) for classes (unity of action) during their 20s (unity of time). This classical model has traditionally produced prestigious universities, but it is now challenged by the digitalisation of society – which allows everybody who is connected to the internet to access learning – and by the need to acquire skills in step with a fast-changing world. Universities must realise that learning in your 20s won’t be enough. If technological diffusion and implementation develop faster, workers will have to constantly refresh their skills.
By teaching foundational knowledge and up-to-date skills, universities will provide students with the future-proof skills of lifelong learning, not just get them ‘job-ready’.

Emergent Technology beyond the Pandemic – Preparing for the Future
My annotations here:
https://hyp.is/go?url=https%3A%2F%2Freadylearner.one%2Femergent-technology-beyond-the-pandemic-preparing-for-the-future%2F&group=__world__
So while we know that there are incredible applications for emergent technologies such as VR/AR, the goal for organizations isn’t to look to implement these types of solutions immediately while in the midst of a pandemic, adding layers of training and cost concerns to the already existing uncertainty. Rather, an approach that involves short and long term planning as well as data collection to inform decision making is a much more prudent approach.
“VR Learn: Virtual Reality in Learning”
- Learners are able to learn more in less time. They are engaged.
- Learners have a physical and emotional response that is based on empathy.
- Learners develop mental muscle memory on new tasks and new procedures.
- Learners show greater retention rates.
- Learners are able to fail forward without real-world consequences.
- Learners can do things in VR/AR that they can’t do in real-life.
7 Tips For More Engaging, Top Performing Instagram Carousel Posts
https://www.searchenginejournal.com/instagram-carousel-tips/429880
Studies have shown that carousels are the most engaging type of post on the platform.
One of the most effective techniques: know your audience and talk directly to them as individuals.
you’re leading with the most compelling information or image for the reader, and think about “what’s in it for them” throughout the carousel.
add a visual signal in the images, like an arrow pointing to the right in all but the final image.
You want every slide to stand on its own.
