  1. Higher Education to 2030: What futures for quality access in the era of globalisation? Session: New vehicles for enhancing access and achievement in higher education Leveraging ICT for pedagogy: individual and institutional opportunity spaces Michelle N. Lamberson The University of British Columbia Director, Office of Learning Technology

  2. Strategic importance of ICT: Reflect back to look forward…. During the past year, as heretofore, it has been the policy of the department to serve, as far as possible, all sections of the Province, particularly the more remote urban centres. Since funds for the work have been limited, an effort has been made to explore new media for the equalization of the educational opportunities offered by the University. In this connection emphasis has been placed upon the use and development of the radio and the directed study-group. In all phases of the work the main effort has been directed towards providing an educational programme with a constructive purpose and with some degree of continuity. Gordon ShrumUBC Director of University Extension1938Report to the President of the University Photo from UBC Archiveshttp://angel.library.ubc.ca/u?/ubcnew,14166 OECD- Paris, December 2008

  3. Pre-conference questionnaire: technology and education future scenarios What? How? Keep technology and educational purpose tightly linked Deployment focuses on: Pedagogy Expanding access to high quality learning experiences Developing ways to capture information that will enable us to become even better teachers. Invest in technology implementation that supports students as knowledge creators & analysts and mobile lifelong learners Improve system usability, streamline data exchange, & facilitate content mobility Build strong and ongoing relationships with our students. Enable faculty to spend more time supporting student learning, not administering courses. OECD- Paris, December 2008

  9. OECD 2008 Trends Shaping Education: ICT • Digital Revolution: • Technology improvements (devices smaller, faster, cheaper) • Expanded access to and use of technology worldwide • Expanding World Wide Web • New knowledge sources • Communications cheaper • Concern for digital divide, information overload • Web 2.0 • User created content (Wikipedia, blogs) • New business models OECD- Paris, December 2008

  11. Evolving approaches to communication between humans and machines Collective sharing and generation of knowledge Computing in three dimensions Connecting people via the network Games as pedagogical platforms Shifting of content production to users Evolution of a ubiquitous platform NMC Horizon Project Meta-trends2004 through 2008 See: http://www.nmc.org/horizon OECD- Paris, December 2008

  12. 2008 Horizon Report: Critical Challenges • Trends point to need for innovation and leadership at all levels of the academy. • Higher education service expectations increasing: especially content delivery to mobile/personal devices • Collaboration pedagogies pushing need for new forms of interaction and assessment. • Need to provide formal instruction in new forms of visual, and technological literacy and content creation with today’s tools. Excerpted from the 2008 Horizon Report; see: http://wp.nmc.org/horizon2008/chapters/critical-challenges/ OECD- Paris, December 2008

  37. Closing thoughts: Making IT Work • Listen…. • Faculty/peer acceptance (& curriculum fit) • Institutional support structures have to evolve • Changes in technology needed (finer grained separation of identity from application data) • New forms of scholarship evolving • Students as partners • Vendors(?) as partners Ecoute (Listen) by Henri de MillerÉglise Saint-Eustache, ParisPhoto by M.N. Lamberson OECD- Paris, December 2008

  38. Challenge for higher education “The best teachers and researchers should be thinking about how to design coursesin which technology enriches teaching rather than substitutes for it. And equally important, faculties need to concern themselves with the need to give their students the toolswith which they can explore deeply as well as widely, with which they can discriminate, analyze, and create rather than simply accumulate.” The Boyer Commission on Educating Undergraduates in the Research University REINVENTING UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION: A Blueprint for America's Research Universities 1998
