  2. Academic Technology: The Next 5-10 Years • We’re in for a lot of change • The learning-centered university • Education as “cargo cult” • Technology can be part of the solution, or part of the problem • Need to look at best systems, not just best practices

  3. Academic Technology: Understanding the Environment and the Challenges

  4. The Four Environments of Learning Learning Digital Libraries and Repositories Virtual Learning Environment Libraries Physical Environment Classrooms and Labs

  5. Assessing the Challenges and Opportunities

  6. Trend 1: Growing Role for Research in Instructional Technology • To overcome the “cargo cult” problem • Leverage pure research • Do more applied research and more creatively • Inform policy and practice • Using the data that technology can gather to address broader needs • Accreditation • Provide more technology support for academic research

  7. Trend 2: New Ways of Organizing Time and Space in the Instructional Process • Hybrid or blended courses • Buffet models • Communities of learning and social space • Changing the nature of the lecture • Studio models • Classroom capture • Podcasting

  8. Trend 3: Personalized Learning Environments • A type of e-learning structure based on a model of learning rather than a model of the institutionScott Wilson • Based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Web 2.0 applications • Collections of tools assembled by the learner based on what they’re trying to do • Flexible, elegant, powerful, learning-centered, open • We can really reap a return on our investment in administrative systems

  9. Trend 4: Growing Use of Institutional and Inter-Institutional Repositories • Content • Sharing • Within and between institutions • Policy challenges • Links between the library and instructional technology units

  10. Trend 5: Social Software • Blogs, wikis and other systems • Really linking these to learning and research in a meaningful way • Important policy challenges

  11. Trend 6: Student Advising • Once again, leveraging our investment in administrative systems • Technology as facilitating “high touch” • Sorting out the business rules and crossing divisions is going to be tough • High payoff in terms of student success

  12. Trend 6: Many other things • E-Portfolios • Games and gaming • Mobile and ubiquitous computing
