Session Type: Full-Day Seminar
Making choices about technologies to promote better learning is fraught with uncertainty. Can we predict the next podcasting or YouTube? How do we strategically avoid fads and plan for new educational tools? What approaches can help identify, evaluate, and leverage emerging technologies and corresponding educational practices? What differences do we make in student learning? The NMC-ELI Horizon Project has published predictions for several years. Come help us evaluate exemplars of theory and practice and explore this domain.
Using real examples of new technology implementations, we will address the problem of what to support. What are the downsides of a pilot program? When should a technology become an institutional resource? What models can help decision makers with planning, budgeting, infrastructure, and training? Can strategies transfer from another institution to your home school?
Come learn how to use the Horizon Report to plan for the future on your campus.
