Trend Explanation Drivers Impact (e.g.) ImplicationsOpen-ness ...is a response to many of the aspects of our current

system that may be described as closed, creating new ways of thinking about access to educational opportunities and resources, minimising barriers and opening up opportunities for participation.

Creative commons licensingIncreased online access and availabilityGlobal competition among institutions

Open-schoolingOpen-resourcesOpen-teachingOpen-accreditation

How ‘open’ are the approaches to resource development and sharing in your school?What use do you make of ‘open’ content and open teaching in your school?How could access to open education options benefit your students? your staff?What processes would you need to put in place to ensure the appropriate licenses are adhered to?How will you/your staff gain the experience of open teaching? How will you ensure your students gain the skills/experience of learning this way?

Smart Web The number of devices and services connected to the web is building a deeper understanding of our activities, along with the growing collective of pooled intelligence and creativity, the ‘online’ is forming an intelligence

RFID technologiesInternet-capable consumer appliancesGeo-location devices

Smart librariesSmart text booksSmart classroomsAuto-identification and tracking of students and staff

How might an ‘internet of things’ apply in an education setting, e.g tracking students, smart buildings, etc.?What are some of the social and ethical considerations that will need to be resolved?Consider specifically how school resources, including library resources, could be managed differently? What are the implications for libraries themselves?

Ubiquitous Learning …is about learning anywhere, at anytime using any device. It is being driven by the convergence in development of cloud computing, online services and mobile devices

mobile technologiescloud computing online servicesUFB accesswireless

School wireless networksMove to portable devices from desktopsAdoption of cloud-based applications (LMS, SMS, accounting)

Is your school network prepared to accommodate the influx of student-owned mobile devices being connected?How would you describe the concept of “the cloud” to your staff or board of trustees?How could your school make effective use of ‘cloud-based’ applications and services for students and staff?

Personalisation There is a growing awareness that one-size-fits-all approaches to school knowledge and organisation are ill-adapted both to individuals’ needs and to the knowledge society at large.

Rejection of a one-size-fits-all approachWider adoption of individualised education plans (IEPs)Student initiated learning and pathways

ePortfoliosBYOD (device) BYOD (data)Personalisation and adaptive learning at a large scale

To what extent does the use of digital technologies feature as a strategy for personalising the learning experience for students in your school? What use are we making of learning analytics to predict and advise on learning through the applications we use?How might an adaptive web environment be beneficial to schools, e.g. for personalising learner spaces, interactions with parents and community etc?

Data engagement What has historically been confined to print and/or oral/aural communications, is now accessible in a range of new and exciting ways. In addition, where engagement tended to be passive, it is now an active experience.

Greater emphasis on visualizationDevelopment of human interface technologies

Augmented reality‘Touch’ technologieshaptics

What advantages and opportunities do the new forms of data manipulation provide for teachers and students?What use are you making of the open data sources that are now available?What provision are you making for the new forms of interaction design that are emerging in your thinking for the future?

Trend Explanation Drivers Impact (e.g.) Implications

Citizenship Citizenship involves understanding the ‘rules’ and boundaries that exist in our expanding world which includes the ‘virtual’, relearning the rights and responsibilities of being a good citizen in this new landscape.

Concerns about online safetyEmerging mores around online participationGlobalised reach of educationGlobal futures

Cybersafety programmesCyber security/filteringDigital literacyPolicy and practice in schools (modelling)

How well is the concept of global citizenship embedded within your school curriculum? Do you have a vision for the global future that your students will inhabit?What is your personal/school vision for being digitally literate?How are the practices of cyber-citizens being modelled in your school? What would be the response of staff to a breakdown in this area?

Virtual Learning Opportunities are expanding internationally, with the development of virtual schools in many countries. It is an effective way of providing access for those who may not otherwise be able to participate - not only for students, but for teacher professional development also.

Accessibility to tech and broadband technologiesGrowing number of courses available onlineDesire for access to wider range of curriculum optionsSpecialist teacher shortagesConstraints on time and budget for PD

Virtual Learning Network (NZ)Growth of virtual schooling (international)Online PD optionsExpansion of formal and informal learning opportunities online

How do your programmes of learning enable students to continue learning outside of the classroom or school hours?What sorts of projects could you involve your students in right now that would provide them with the rich experiences of collaborating on authentic tasks, and connecting virtually with experts?How might you embrace the opportunities of professional learning for staff in the online environment?

Thinking 3D We live in a 3D world, and increasingly the technologies at our disposal are providing opportunities to create, visualise and represent our ideas in 3D.

Growth of consumer level 3D tools and applicationsIncrease in need for 3D thinking in employment

3D printers3D projectors3D TVs and movies3D online environments

What priority do you give to providing 3D learning experiences for your students?What sorts of experiences could you provide right now… and into the future?What challenges does thinking in 3D raise in terms of assessment? How can these be resolved?

Social Learning Some educational institutions are already making their content available through social channels, but it’s also about considering Issues around navigating and managing privacy, awareness of the growing ecommerce industry and its impact on global economies etc.

Explosion in availability of and participation in social networking sitesPersonal online identitiesChanging behaviours around online services

Personal learning networksInformal learning

What use do you make of social media?What use is made of social media by students for learning in your school?What provision is made for teaching about and modelling the appropriate use of social media in your school?

User +Control Users of technology are increasingly seeking to find ways to programme what they're using, and exercise control over what it does and how it performs.

Demand for programming experience‘hacking’ and ‘modifying’ of existing programs and devices

Online instruction (Codeinayear)Computer studies/digital technologies programmes in schools

What are your beliefs about the importance of being digitally literate? How are these represented in your school programmes?What is happening in your school to cater for and encourage those students who have an interest in computer programming?

Trends OverviewAnnually, CORE Education explores the ten major emerging ICT trends that will impact upon education in New Zealand (and other parts of the world) in the coming year. The trends are collated and published through our experienced staff of researchers, education trainers, and technology experts.

Each trend has been identified for its likely impact on the way it may change the education landscape in early childhood centres, schools and tertiary institutions plus on the wider eLearning technologies and practices.

These trends are not specific predictions as such, they are presented to provoke further research, investigation and discussion, in order to determine how they may affect the strategic planning within your educational institution. The purpose is to provide a glimpse of the ‘big picture’ within which we operate in the education system.

Each trend will be presented as follows:

ExplanationA brief statement describing what the trend is about.

DriversExamples of the key innovations that are creating change and driving this trend.

ImpactExamples of the current experience of teachers and learners that illustrate the impact of this trend on teaching and learning.

ImplicationsSuggestions about where this trend may be taking us, and the future possibilities for our work as educators. This section will contain a list of questions to prompt further thought and discussion.

One trend every month will be blogged about in depth by a champion from CORE on blog.core-ed.org
