What will high school education look like in twenty years? High school students are educated today to take their places in a knowledge economy. But the knowledge economy, based on the assumption that ...information is a scarce and precious commodity, is giving way to an economy in which information is ubiquitous, digital, and machine-generated. In "Running with Robots," Greg Toppo and Jim Tracy show how the technological advances that are already changing the world of work will transform the American high school as well. Toppo and Tracy--a journalist and an education leader, respectively--look at developments in artificial intelligence and other fields that promise to bring us not only driverless cars but doctorless patients, lawyerless clients, and possibly even teacherless students. They visit schools from New York City to Iowa that have begun preparing for this new world. Toppo and Tracy intersperse these reports from the present with bulletins from the future, telling the story of a high school principal who, Rip Van Winkle-style, sleeps for twenty years and, upon awakening in 2040, can hardly believe his eyes: the principal's amazingly efficient assistant is a robot, calculation is outsourced to computers, and students, grouped by competence and not grade level, focus on the conceptual. The lesson to be learned from both the present and the book's thought-experiment future: human and robotic skillsets are complementary, not in competition. We can run with robots, not against them.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning, EC-TEL 2012, held in Saarbrucken, Germany, in September 2012. The 26 revised full papers ...presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 130 submissions. The book also includes 12 short papers, 16 demonstration papers, 11 poster papers, and 1 invited paper. Specifically, the programme and organizing structure was formed through the themes: mobile learning and context; serious and educational games; collaborative learning; organisational and workplace learning; learning analytics and retrieval; personalised and adaptive learning; learning environments; academic learning and context; and, learning facilitation by semantic means.
SAŽETAK: Umjetna inteligencija i robotika sve se više koriste pri koncepciji modernog mjesta rada. Zdravlje radnika, osim već dulje poznatih metoda, sve češće se osigurava i nadopunjuje novim ...tehnološkim rješenjima. Roboti zasnovani na tzv. slaboj umjetnoj inteligenciji upotrebljavaju se već desetljećima u industriji, a u posljednje vrijeme razvijaju se sofisticirani napredni roboti koji se koriste u medicini, istraživanju, prometu, transportu, ... Kod poslova gdje postoji opasnost za zdravlje radnika, često propisi zaštite na radu ograničavaju primjenu mjera namijenjenih porastu proizvodnosti. Roboti rješavaju jedno i drugo, povećavaju proizvodnost te eliminiraju neposrednu opasnost za radnika. Servisni roboti primjenjuju se u kućanstvu, uredima, školama, prodavaonicama i dr. Društveni roboti su u direktnom kontaktu s ljudima pomažući im u svakodnevnom poslu. U radu su prikazane neke od mogućnosti korištenja robota kao i prednosti robotike, prvenstveno u funkciji zaštite zdravlja i sigurnosti na radu. Podaci za izradu rada prikupljeni su iz znanstvenih časopisa, knjiga te zbornika s konferencija i stručnih skupova kao i sudjelovanjem na predavanjima znanstvenika iz područja razvoja robotike. Određeni znanstvenici postavljaju pitanja o budućnosti rada i općenito života te izražavaju zabrinutost o nepoznanicama koje očekuju čovjeka, društvo, životnu okolinu... Postavljaju se pitanja hoće li te nove tehnologije utjecati na razdvajanje i otuđivanje ljudi pa čak i međusobnu netoleranciju.
SUMMARY: Artificial intelligence and robotics are increasingly used in the conception of the modern workplace. Workers' health, apart from long-known methods, is increasingly being ensured and upgraded using new technological solutions. Robots based on the so-called poor artificial intelligence have been used in industry for decades, and lately sophisticated advanced robots have been developed that are used in medicine, research, traffic, transportation. In jobs where there is a danger to the health of workers, often occupational safety regulations restrict the implementation of the measures designed to increase productivity. Robots do both, i.e. increase productivity and eliminate imminent danger to the workers. Service robots are used in homes, offices, schools, shops, etc. Social robots are in direct contact with people helping them with their daily work. The paper presents some of the possibilities of using a robot as well as the benefits of robotics, primarily in the function of health and safety at work. Data for the paper were collected from scientific journals, books and various conference proceedings, as well as from lectures held by scientists in the field of robotics development. Certain scientists ask questions about the future of work and life in general, and express concerns about the unknown that await man, society, and the environment. The chief question is whether these new technologies may effect separation, alienation and even intolerance among people.
