Editor's Notes
- #10: Emerging technologies likely to have a large impact on teaching, learning, research, or creative expression within education around the globe.
- #25: For 2 - continue to emerge but appropriate metrics for evaluating them increasingly lag behind or fail to appear.For 3 - continues its rise in importance as a key 21st century skill, but there is a widening training gap for faculty and teachers.
- #26: For 1 - increasingly challenging us to revisit our roles as educators in sense-making, coaching and credentialingFor 2 - More and more, people expect to be able to work, learn, study, and connect with their social networks wherever and whenever they want to.
- #27: How does this impact what we do and how we do it?
