Their website then became a reference to me due to the fact that they are constantly posting news and trends in areas related to leveraging learning technologies. On their website, they define the cooperative\u2019s mission:&nbsp;<em>\u201cWCET\u2019s mission is to accelerate the adoption of effective practices and policies, advancing excellence in technology-enhanced teaching and learning.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;In addition,&nbsp;they conduct relevant research to the Education field that \u201caims to shed light on topics that support the operation, instruction and technology implementation of technology-enhanced higher education.\u201d&nbsp;And one of the focus areas is Emerging Technologies:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wcet.wiche.edu\/focus-area\/emerging-tech\">https:\/\/wcet.wiche.edu\/focus-area\/emerging-tech<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the issues debated on week 1 are being followed by the WCET and they provide several links and resources that expand on the topic. The growing field of Adaptive Learning, for instance, is presented here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wcet.wiche.edu\/focus-areas\/student-success\/adaptive-learning\">https:\/\/wcet.wiche.edu\/focus-areas\/student-success\/adaptive-learning<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also have a blog with weekly posts on technology-enhanced teaching and learning:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wcetfrontiers.org\/\">https:\/\/wcetfrontiers.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would say that the main drawback is that their research is mainly focused on higher education, leaving those interested in K-12 with little sources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I came across WCET (WICHE Cooperative for Educational Technologies) when I was researching to write a paper for my Research Methodology in Education course.
