I hope people generate alternative solutions to the imagination challenge: What comes after the WWW? WorldBoard is just one of many possible solutions. I like WorldBoard as a solution, because it has very broad implications. Technology that redefines our notion of place will have profound impacts on our perception of reality, and be a major catalyst for new forms of social innovation.
The following table summarizes the learning platform evolution I see happening:
| Platform | Pedagogy Factor | Production | Distribution |
| Standalone | Content | Authoring Tools | CD-ROM |
| Networked | Conversations | Educational Object Economy | WWW |
| Mobile | Context | Sensors | Wireless WorldBoard |
As learning platforms evolve from standalone to network to mobile, each new platform builds on and leverages the previous platform. Each step in the evolution allows new forms of pedagogy to arise, as well as new means of production and distribution.
