2009 Horizon Report

"Increasing globalization continues to affect the way we work, collaborate, and communicate. Information technologies are having a significant impact on how people work, play, gain information, and collaborate. Increasingly, those who use technology in ways that expand their global connections are more likely to advance, while those who do not will find themselves on the sidelines. With the growing availability of tools to connect learners and scholars all over the world -- online collaborative workspaces, social networking tools, mobiles, voice-over-IP, and more -- teaching and scholarship are transcending traditional borders more and more all the time."

 

Future of Learning in a Digital Age | HASTAC

Self-learning: Today’s learners are self-learners. They browse, scan, follow links in mid-paragraph to related material. They look up information and follow new threads. They create their own paths to understanding.

Horizontal structures: Rather than top-down teaching and standardized curriculum, today’s learning is collaborative; learners multitask and work out solutions together on projects. Learning strategy shifts from a focus on information as such to learning to judge reliable information. It shifts from memorizing information to finding reliable sources. In short, it shifts from learning that to learning how.

From presumed authority to collective credibility: Reliance on the knowledge authorities or certified experts is no longer tenable amid the growing complexities of collaborative and interdisciplinary learning. A key challenge in collaborative environments will be fostering and managing levels of trust.

A de-centered pedagogy: To ban or limit collective knowledge sources such as Wikipedia in classrooms is to miss the importance of collaborative knowledge-making. Learning institutions should instead adopt a more inductive, collective pedagogy based on collective checking, inquisitive skepticism, and group assessment.

Networked learning: Learning has traditionally often assumed a winner-take-all competitive form rather than a cooperative form. One cooperates in a classroom only if it maximizes narrow self-interest. Networked learning, in contrast, is committed to a vision of the social that stresses cooperation, interactivity, mutual benefit, and social engagement. The power of ten working interactively will invariably outstrip the power of one looking to beat out the other nine.

"To truly bring educational institutions to the next stage of distributed and networked learning (which is the future!), we have to start by killing LMSs and investing that money and more into people how can work with faculty, staff, and students to re-imagine the art of teaching, learning, and sharing in relationship to that little thing most LMSs seem to disregard all together: the internet! We have been learning in the clean, well-lighted space of Wal-Mart’s parking lots for far too long, let’s go to a camp site, if not the wilderness, and rough it for a bit so that we can actually enjoy the very reason why we started on this trip in the first place, the democratic vistas of possibility!"

Jim Groom, "The Company Store"

 

We need to move students being knowledgeable to knowledge-able. This is not simply a technological revolution, this is a cultural revolution. ~ Michael Wesch @ Desire2Learn Fusion, 2009
