Need to build a new, smart system from ground upnot just a “blend” that is “traditional face to face” + “online”

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 students and teachers.
Why can’t school tools be as usable as digital tools they 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 increasing
Challenge is in finding the right resources for the task or learning outcome at hand.
Teachers and students becoming creators of content, not just consumers
Not just consuming traditional publisher content. Engaging project-based teaching involves creating things and collaboration. Creative Commons licensing facilitating this. Growth of service learning.
![Page 32: Environmental scan summary june 13 2012 it4 k12 revised](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/548e14c0b4795952128b45a1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
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 jurisdictions
Growing realization that most learning outcomes 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 delivery
Mirroring trend in other sectors, IT infrastructure is migrating from within the organization to external providers saving money and improving service.

Education Trends
Innovations coming from outside traditional education sector
Organizations like Khan Academy are disrupting education sector. Traditional delivery approaches are threatened with being redundant.
Growing awareness of important role of social networked learning
Many jurisdictions starting to set up social networks 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.
