Long description:

This book presents a transformative vision of education in the era of technological singularity, where Artificial Intelligence (AI) and immersive technologies redefine how we learn and teach. 

Bringing together a global team of experts, the chapters explore the potential of technological singularity to create more equitable and accessible learning experiences for learners of all ages. By fostering a lifelong learning mindset, this book paves the way for a more informed and empowered future. Through studies on the current state and future trajectories of educational systems, this book explores how these technologies can reshape learning structures. It addresses a wide range of themes, including the evolution of existing educational frameworks and the possibilities that arise as we engage with AI and immersive technologies. 

This book will serve as a valuable resource for educators, researchers, and professionals seeking to understand the transformative power of emerging technologies in education and to navigate the exciting challenges and opportunities ahead. 

"The AI revolution has been brewing for decades and has a long way to go. This volume delves into the vital question of how we can effectively use AI to improve learning rather than letting AI do our learning and thinking for us. An impressive collection of authors and essays."
