Horizon Reports
6
Horizon TrendsPeople expect to be able to work, learn, and
study whenever and wherever they want. The abundance of resources and
relationships will challenge our educational identity.
Students want to use their own technology for learning.
Teaching paradigms across all sectors are shifting to include online learning, hybrid learning and collaborative models.
7
ChallengesSeamless learning – people expect to be
able to work, learn, and study whenever and wherever they want.
Digital literacies – capabilities which fit an individual for living, learning and working in a digital society (JISC)
Personalisation - our learning, teaching, place of learning, technologies will be individualised
Digital scholarship will be the norm.

Digital LiteraciesLiteracy is no longer “the ability
to read and write” but now “the ability to understand information however presented.”
Can't assume students have skills to interact in a digital age
Literacies will allow us to teach more effectively in a digital age
10
Developing Literacies Employable graduates need to be digitally
literate Digital literacies are often related to discipline
area Learners need to be supported by staff to develop
academic digital literacies Professional development is vital in developing
digital literacies Professional associations are supporting their
members to improve digital literacies Engaging students supports digital literacy
development i.e. students as change agents (JISC)

Personal Learning Spaces
‣ Personal Learning Environments (PLE) integrate formal and informal learning spaces
‣ Customised by the individual to suit their needs and allow them to create their own identities.
‣ A PLE recognises ongoing learning and the need for tools to support life-long and life-wide learning.
17
Connectivism
‣ PLE may also require new ways of learning as knowledge has changed to networks and ecologies (Siemens, 2006).
‣ The implications of this change is that improved lines of communication need to occur.
‣ “Connectivism is the assertion that learning is primarily a network-forming process” (p. 15).
