Purpose<\/h3>\n

A simple crowdsourcing exercise to help determine which emerging learning technologies will become the focus of this iteration of ETEC522.<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/h3>\n

Go to the ETEC522 home page and click the “Emerging Market Poll” category. \u00a0The posts that will be listed are brief individual statements about currently emerging learning technologies. \u00a0These have all been excerpted from very recent professional research reports which have predicted that these are the most important emerging technologies for educators to take notice of.<\/p>\n

We want to know if you agree, and if you have alternate technologies you wish to promote as being even more significant. \u00a0Here’s what to do:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. MARKET OPPORTUNITY POLL:<\/strong>\u00a0 Carefully review all of the posts in this category in order to identify the eight (8) emerging technologies you believe are the most opportunistic (urgent, exciting, dangerous, impending, important, inevitable, prospectively transformative) for the general, global future of teaching and learning. \u00a0Also identify the eight (8) emerging technologies you believe are the least opportunistic of these posts. \u00a0The PulsePress plug-in is activated for the posts in this category (look in the upper right portion of each post), enabling you to voice your opinion with a vote. \u00a0Vote positively for the eight (8) most opportunistic technologies and negatively for the eight (8) least opportunistic. \u00a0 You can only vote a maximum of once for each technology. \u00a0Each of the posts contains a link you can follow to the relevant research report so that you can find out more about each technology, but this is completely optional for this poll: we’re confident in the value of your immediate, unresearched professional opinion. \u00a0{N.B.: \u00a0Here, and throughout the course, we are relying on your most objective, professional opinion, not what you ‘like’ or ‘dislike’. \u00a0For example, \u00a0few educators ‘like’ the idea of “learning analytics”, but few would also dismiss its looming impact on education. \u00a0In this course it is very important for you to work with what you expect to happen rather than what you might wish to happen.}<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. WHAT IS MISSING?:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0(Optional) \u00a0Are you a more astute futurist than any of these studies, or do you have a better oracle at your disposal? \u00a0 If you have a clear idea about a highly opportunistic learning technology that isn’t listed, please post it in roughly the same format as the other listings, making sure it is categorized “Emerging Market Poll” so that everyone else is able to vote on it. \u00a0Each new post effectively gives you one extra vote (you can’t vote on your own post, but its existence is nonetheless a vote!). \u00a0Do not post more than two (2) alternate selections without first discussing the matter with your instructor.<\/li>\n
  3. PERSONAL OPPORTUNITY POLL:<\/strong> Identify the three (3) emerging learning technologies from the full list that you believe are most opportunistic for you professionally in your career, either because their impact is most imminent (possibly negatively so) due to factors in your professional environment, or because you personally are deeply interested in them and intend to champion their application. \u00a0For each of these three (3) posts click “Reply” to make a one sentence statement about why you believe this technology is so important. \u00a0And yes, if you posted an alternate prediction in 2 (above), you are also should reply in this manner to your own prediction.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    N.B. – Polling Impact:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 The meshed results of these two polls will help determine which emerging technologies will become the focus of Stage 3 of this course, and which Emerging Market Team (to conduct Assignment #2) you will be assigned to. \u00a0Nominally speaking the highest-voted posts will become our eight (8) topics, and you will be assigned to one of your three personal selections, but it almost certainly won’t come out exactly this way. \u00a0If you have a high priority reason for being assigned to any specific topic, please email your instructor before the end of Week 1.<\/p>\n

    Deadline<\/h3>\n

    This activity must be complete by the end of Week 1<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 to have any useful effect. \u00a0Topics and Emerging Market Team assignments will be announced at the beginning of Week 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
