Six predictions for education in 2011 [M. Horn]

Six predictions for education in 2011 — from Forbes.com by Michael Horn

Excerpts:

As 2011 dawns, expect to see the rate of innovation in education increase. The weak economy that has bogged down the United States for the past two years will continue to lift the online learning innovations to new heights in both K-12 and postsecondary education.

Here are six trends and predictions to watch for in the New Year.

1. Just under 40 percent of all U.S. postsecondary students will enroll in at least one fully online course in the fall of 2011.
2. Public school budgets will continue to shrink, so more districts will do more business with online learning providers to fill in the gaps.
3. An increasing number of suburban schools will begin using online learning, too.
4. Not to be outdone, education entrepreneurs will create high quality chartered schools that jump in the online learning game as well.
5. User-generated online content will begin to explode in education.
6. Mobile learning, the subject of increasing hype in the United States, will make its impact in the developing world first.

From DSC:
I post this here — with higher ed included in the tags/categories — because if the trend within K-12 continues (i.e. that of using such technologies as the iPad, digital textbooks, mobile learning devices, etc.), students’ expectations WILL be impacted. When they hit our doorsteps, they will come with their heightened sets of expectations. The question is, will we in higher ed be ready for them?

2011 NMC Symposium on New Media and Learning
March 29, 2011 – March 31, 2011
Online hosted by NMC

The 2011 NMC Symposium on New Media and Learning, the seventeenth in the NMC’s Series of Virtual Symposia, will explore the impact of new media on teaching, learning, research, and creative expression, especially in higher education. New media, for this event, is interpreted broadly as anything from creative uses of digital media and new forms of communication to alternative publishing methods and media-rich tools. The Symposium seeks to explore new media in the context of a current social phenomenon and not simply as a means of content delivery.

Proposals are encouraged on any of the following themes, but this list is not exhaustive and selections will not be limited to these categories:

digital gaming in education
digital storytelling practices
new forms of multimedia production and delivery
social media, social networking and global connections
new media and mobile devices
data visualization
media-rich communication tools
new literacies
any technology or practice that shows promise for engaging students and supporting teaching and learning using new media
