Technology Outside The Classroom In the Classroom Personalized Learning One-on-one interaction In class & online=Success 74% students react positively 74% teachers expand learning • Online learning-Adaptive Learning • Self paced classroom • “Learning how to Learn” • Makes education possible for all *Higher education is easy, making it compatible to every student is the challenge!*

  4. Futuring Techniques/MethodologyScanning & Scenarios Pros Cons May not fit all students May need constant fixing Look good on paper, not in classroom Stressful on teacher & student My not think openly • Future educational development • Develop learning for each student • Based on experiences • Environmental/technology • Research backup • “In the field” tests • Open minded

  5. Technology Trends • “Blended Learning” • Online Education & Degrees • Skill based learning • “Hands on” interactions • Hybrid classes • Open to all Students

  6. Economic TrendsFor-Profit School Associated Negatives FACTS All money put back into school Used for the students Profits used for skill based learning Focused on all students (even non-traditional) Smaller schools = one-on-one People don’t know us • Money hungry • Not a “real” school • Only rich can attend • Degrees don’t mean anything • Unaffordable • Not all students can fit in

  7. Non-Traditional friendly • Online friendly • First time student friendly • All Ages • All races • All learning levels • Worldwide • Nationwide • Athlete friendly Demographic

  8. ScenarioNext 5 years… • Higher education • Lectures, classroom, online • Some classes are too big • Online courses are not taught properly • Kids need to be challenge and kept interested • Most college classes are “boring” • Need more exciting options

  9. Plan For Change • More technology (Computers, PowerPoints, group teaching) • More hands on education (in-field, drawing/visual learning) • More academic teaching options (Skype, outdoors, games) • Smaller classes/more of the same class • “In-field” experienced professors (scholarly practitioners)

  10. Call to Action! Step 1 Step 2 Have more classroom space available, more classes = more professors Have professors with at least a few years experience in field they are teaching. More experience=more educated students Have access to internships or “hands-on” environments for students as part of their course participation • Enable students to have technology in the classroom • Have professors be trained in both online & classroom environments • Have students trained to know how to access online resources and book resources • Have professors available on a daily basis so students can see them.
