Technology Outlook > Australian Tertiary Education 2013-2018 | The New Media Consortium | Digital Learning - beyond eLearning and Blended Learning | Scoop.it

The New Media Consortium and Open Universities Australia jointly released the Technology Outlook for Australian Tertiary Education 2013-2018: An NMC Horizon Project Regional Analysis. This report applies the process developed for the NMC Horizon Project, with a focus on identifying and describing emerging technologies likely to have an impact on teaching, learning, and creative inquiry in tertiary institutions across Australia. Twelve emerging technologies are recognized across three adoption horizons over the next one to five years, as well as key trends and challenges expected to continue over the same period, giving campus leaders and practitioners a valuable guide for strategic technology planning. View the work that produced the report at www.aus.wiki.nmc.org.

But this time, he said, is different, because of new technologies like more-ubiquitous wireless internet, tablet computing, cheap video storage, and data in the cloud, and because of a tipping point in student demand. He envisions a future “five to ten years out” where school budgets for IT, textbooks and assessments will no longer be separated, creating a single K-12 funding pool of $9 billion a year for all kinds of new technology, both content and systems. ”We’re just on that cusp, where the tablet and PC are rich enough and cheap enough that that’ll be the way it’s done.”

Kim Flintoff's insight:

There's a logical extapolation to all this - if K-12 technology use is more ubiquitous then Higher Ed and VET sectors must finally consider that technology is a core part of the educational process.

College is less thorny, but every bit as emotional. People whose self worth is tied up in possessing or providing a half-million dollar Ivy League education don’t particularly love the idea that it should be made available for free online to the rest of the world.

I spend a huge amount of my time reading about the top 5 apps for teachers, the best software for collaborative writing, the best web tool for this, that or the other, how to do something that I’ve never heard of but should have and now feel guilty about, so I’m going to Google it and try to drop it into a conversation next time I’m face to face with another teacher, so that I seem on top of the ever-burgeoning world of educational technology.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan. I might even describe myself as being someone close to the cutting edge of what is going on, but the more I read, the more concerned I become about the quality of what is going on in schools.

Online students need more face-to-face time, not less

Online students need more face-to-face time, not less | Digital Learning - beyond eLearning and Blended Learning | Scoop.it

...universities and colleges will have to rethink their approach to online learning.

 

To start with, the sector should spend fewer resources expanding online offerings, and more on preparing students and training faculty for the demands of online classes. They should be more deliberate about which courses to put online, and expend greater effort in evaluating and enhancing student preparation.

 

Finally, they must require faculty training in methods that support meaningful interaction with students in the virtual space.

 

These adjustments will require time and money, and there is the possibility that truly effective online learning will not cost significantly less than traditional classroom learning.

 

However, if online learning is to achieve the purported goal of helping all students attain a quality higher education, now is the time to make these investments.
