Som vanlig lister rapporten seks teknologier som er tilordnet tre ulike tidshorisonter:
Ett år eller mindre:
Mobile apps
Tablet computing
2-3 år:
Game-based learning
Learning analytics
4-5 år:
Gesture-based computing
The Internet of Things
Nøkkeltrender
Rapporten peker på noen nøkkeltrender (gjengitt på engelsk):
People expect to be able to work, learn and study whenever and whereever they want to.
The technologies we use are increasingly cloud-based, and our notions of IT-support are decentralized.
The world of work is increasingly collaborative, driving changes the way student projects are structured.
The abundance of resources and relationships made easily accessible via the Internet is increasingly challenging us to revisit our roles as educators.
Education paradigms are shifting to include online learning, hybrid learning and collaborative models.
There is a new emphasis in the classroom on more challenge-based and active learning.
Viktige utfordringer
Den tredje kategorien rapporten ser på er noen sentrale utfordringer, gjengitt på engelsk nedenfor:
Economic pressures and new models of education are bringing unprecedented competition to the traditional models of higher education.
Appropriate metrics of evaluation lag the emergence of new scholarly forms of authoring, publishing and reseaching.
Digital media literacy continues its rise in importance as a key skill in every discipline and profession.
Institutional barriers present formidable challenges to moving forward in a constructive way with emerging technologies.
New modes of scholarship are presenting significant challenges for libraries and university collections, how scholarship is documented, and the business models to support these activities.
I forrige uke deltok jeg på tiårsjubileet til the Horizon Project utenfor Austin i Texas. Prosjektet har siden unnfangelsen utgitt en rekke rapporter om nye teknologier innenfor skole, høyere utdanning og museer.
En vesentlig del av jubileet, eller "Retreat" som det ble kalt, var gjennom en dedikert prosess blant de rundt 100 deltakerne fra hele verden å komme frem til noen meta-trender som kommer til å påvirke bruk av digitale verktøy i undervisning, læring og kretiv utforsking over de neste årene. Vi kom i alt frem til 28 metatrender som i etterkant av samlingen er knadd og eltet ned til 10 metatrender som gjengis nedenfor. Du kan også lese sluttkommunikeet fra samlingen.
En antall "provokatører", deriblant undertegnede, var invitert til å holde korte (6 minutter) innlegg. Disse vil bli lagt ut fortløpende. Den første videosnutten som er lagt ut er Malcolm Brown, direktør for Educause Learning Initiative.
10 Meta-trender:
The world of work is increasingly global and increasingly collaborative. As more and more companies move to the global marketplace, it is common for work teams to span continents and time zones. Not only are teams geographically diverse, they are also culturally diverse.
People expect to work, learn, socialize, and play whenever and wherever they want to. Increasingly, people own more than one device, using a computer, smartphone, tablet, and e- reader. People now expect a seamless experience across all their devices.
The Internet is becoming a global mobile network — and already is at its edges. Mobithinking reports there are now more than 6 billion active cell phone accounts. 1.2 billion have mobile broadband as well, and 85% of new devices can access the mobile web.
The technologies we use are increasingly cloud-based and delivered over utility networks, facilitating the rapid growth of online videos and rich media. Our current expectation is that the network has almost infinite capacity and is nearly free of cost. One hour of video footage is uploaded every second to YouTube; over 250 million photos are sent to Facebook every day.
Openness — concepts like open content, open data, and open resources, along with notions of transparency and easy access to data and information — is moving from a trend to a value for much of the world. As authoritative sources lose their importance, there is need for more curation and other forms of validation to generate meaning in information and media.
Legal notions of ownership and privacy lag behind the practices common in society. In an age where so much of our information, records, and digital content are in the cloud, and often clouds in other legal jurisdictions, the very concept of ownership is blurry.
Real challenges of access, efficiency, and scale are redefining what we mean by quality and success. Access to learning in any form is a challenge in too many parts of the world, and efficiency in learning systems and institutions is increasingly an expectation of governments — but the need for solutions that scale often trumps them both. Innovations in these areas are increasingly coming from unexpected parts of the world, including India, China, and central Africa.
The Internet is constantly challenging us to rethink learning and education, while refining our notion of literacy. Institutions must consider the unique value that each adds to a world in which information is everywhere. In such a world, sense-making and the ability to assess the credibility of information and media are paramount.
There is a rise in informal learning as individual needs are redefining schools, universities, and training. Traditional authority is increasingly being challenged, not only politically and socially, but also in academia — and worldwide. As a result, credibility, validity, and control are all notions that are no longer givens when so much learning takes place outside school systems.
Business models across the education ecosystem are changing. Libraries are deeply reimagining their missions; colleges and universities are struggling to reduce costs across the board. The educational ecosystem is shifting, and nowhere more so than in the world of publishing, where efforts to reimagine the book are having profound success, with implications that will touch every aspect of the learning enterprise.
