Future of learning, cognition, instruction systems, and educational technologies.
Axiom - Future of Learning
This radar highlights innovative technologies designed to help people imagine and build the future of learning, cognition, instruction systems, and educational technologies. We focus on cognitive-sensing devices, mixed-reality instruction rigs, personalized learning systems, and adaptive environments that are transforming how people learn, teach, and develop skills. By mapping the convergence of neuroscience, AI, and immersive technologies, we aim to provide insights into solutions that will make learning more effective, accessible, and personalized.
This resource is free and open-access, ensuring it reaches educators, learning designers, researchers, policymakers, students, and the public. In this version of the Envisioning Axiom radar, we go beyond emerging technologies by including applications, cognitive skill amplification systems, and ethical considerations around cognitive privacy, algorithmic fairness, and human agency safeguards. This broadened focus demonstrates that the future of learning depends on more than just technological capability; student privacy, educational equity, and pedagogical effectiveness play equally important roles in ensuring learning technologies truly enhance human potential.
