Content-type: text/html Downes.ca ~ Stephen's Web ~ These 3 trends are shaping the future of ed tech

Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

I would say any of these three is exactly a trend, but here they are for your consideration (quoted):

  • Hybrid learning models are still shaking out
  • Technology could be one tool to address equity issues
  • Colleges are prioritizing microcredentials

The first two are in the wrong modality to be a trend; a trend reports what is, not possibilities. The third just doesn't seem to be true; colleges are looking at microcredentials, but the vast bulk of their effort is still directed toward traditional degree programs. So this article, to my mind, reflects what the author (or sponsor) wants to happen, and not what is happening.
