Learning• Understanding & Improving Outcomes• The “Cloud” Comes to the Learning Enterprise


Agenda

• The Five Major Educational Technology Transitions

• Are we Entering a New Phase of e-Learning in Education?

• 21st Century Standards to Support 21st Century Educational Technology


Facts – U.S. Higher Ed

• 35% of all institutions use a Course Management System for virtually ALL their courses

• 99.5% of all institutions use an enterprise Course Management System

• Source: EDUCAUSE Core Data Service Fiscal Year 2007 Summary Report


Mainstream Results So Far

Near ubiquitous Internet (region dependent)+ Ubiquitous networking infrastructure____________________________________= Connectivity

+ Web sites or course/learning management systems (CMS/LMS) as online communications hub – syllabus, course materials, etc

+ Better online alternatives for distance learning


That’s great . . .
