Social media is changing the way people interact, present

ideas and information, and communicate.

Education paradigms are shifting to include online learning,

hybrid learning, and collaborative models.

People expect to be able to work, learn, and study whenever

and wherever they want.

As the cost of technology drops and school districts revise and

open up their access policies, it is becoming more common for

students to bring their own mobile devices.

Openness — concepts like open content, open data, and open

resources, along with notions of transparency and easy access

to data and information — is becoming a value.

Key Trends

11

Current approaches to initial teacher training and in-service

training in digital tools and pedagogies are insufficient for the

need.

Teachers and schools remain dependent on physical textbooks.

Digital skills and the use of ICT for learning do not appear to be

embedded in reform efforts, measurement strategies,

prioritized areas and national programmes to any appreciable

extent.

The demand for personalized learning is not adequately

supported by current technology or practices.

Digital literacy in the curriculum should be revised or

embedded in new ways.
