- 12. Implementation Gap Compelling vision but how to implement? http://www.bcedplan.ca/
- 13. Tight Technology Expiry Dates Systems need to be flexible, adaptive and iterative with user input to stay relevant, long planning cycles = irrelevant offering
- 14. Discovery of quality learning resources • Move to more granular learning resources • Millions of apps • Billions of user generated content items • Need to support personalized learning • Crowdsourcing only practical way to evaluate

- 31. Education Trends Blended Learning Consolidation of distance learning and face-to-face classroom opportunities for accessing digital resources and tools. Raised expectations for digital tools in schools by Why can’t school tools be as usable as digital tools they students and teachers. use in other areas of their life. Mobile learning a game changer Students and teachers want to bring their personal devices to the school and leverage. Quality and quantity of learning resources Challenge is in finding the right resources for the task or increasing learning outcome at hand.

Creative Commons licensing facilitating this. Growth of service learning.
- 32. Education Trends Repositories to registries Moving away from a siloed learning object repository approach to one where only local resources are stored, external resources hosted with original content owner. Growth of learning analytics Technology emerging to track para-data about learning resources (e.g. ratings by teachers) and consolidating to help filter. Ability to tie a learning resource to specific learning outcomes and see effectiveness of learning resource. Consolidation of learning outcomes across Growing realization that most learning outcomes jurisdictions from different jurisdictions are almost identical in core subjects (e.g. Common Core initiative in US with 42 states participating) Cloud approach to learning technology Mirroring trend in other sectors, IT infrastructure is delivery migrating from within the organization to external providers saving money and improving service.

Traditional delivery approaches are threatened with being redundant. Growing awareness of important role of Many jurisdictions starting to set up social networks social networked learning for their students and teachers. Just-in-time instead of just-in-case learning Less important to “cover all the curriculum” than to provide authentic, project based learning experiences for students. Importance of cross-functional teams Most meaningful work is done today in cross- functional teams. Students need to go beyond program and school siloes to get experience with this.

- 95. Findings: Components 62 components of digital learning commons were identified http://connectlearn21.net/phase-ii/digital-learning-commons-components/
- 96. Findings: agile better than monolithic From Facebook’s S-1 filing… “The Hacker Way is an approach to building that involves continuous improvement and iteration. Hackers believe that something can always be better, and that nothing is ever complete. They just have to go fix it — often in the face of people who say it’s impossible or are content with the status quo.” http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/01/facebook-ipo-letter/
- 97. Findings: agile better than monolithic “Hackers try to build the best services over the long term by quickly releasing and learning from smaller iterations rather than trying to get everything right all at once.. We have the words “Done is better than perfect” painted on our walls to remind ourselves to always keep shipping…
- 98. Findings: agile better than monolithic Instead of debating for days whether a new idea is possible or what the best way to build something is, hackers would rather just prototype something and see what works.”
