Apprehending the Future: Emerging Technologies, from Science Fiction to Campus Reality

Bryan Alexander

Deciding which technologies to support for teaching and learning—and how to support them—depends on our ability to learn about each emerging development, on our ability to apprehend the future as it applies to the world of higher education and information technology.

A Web Game for Predicting Some Futures: Exploring the Wisdom of Crowds

Bryan Alexander

In early 2008, the National Institution for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE) organized a prediction market to explore gaming, emerging technologies, and the implications for learning and higher education.

Charting the Course and Tapping the Community: The EDUCAUSE Top Teaching and Learning Challenges 2009

Julie K. Little and Carie Page, with Kristen Betts, Stephanie Boone, Patrick Faverty, Tanya Joosten, Elizabeth A. Kiggins, Jessica Knott, Erin Long, Alana J. Mauger, Jeffrey McClurken, Maureen McCreadie, Nils Peterson, and Celeste M. Schwartz

The focus of the EDUCAUSE Challenges project is on collaborative knowledge-building: on engaging members of the higher education community not only to list the top teaching and learning issues but also to put the power of collective intelligence into action to address those challenges.

Faculty Development for the 21st Century

Veronica Diaz, P. B. Garrett, Edward R. Kinley, John F. Moore, Celeste Schwartz, and Pat Kohrman

In the 21st century, colleges and universities need to consider faculty development programs in the same way that they view academic programs for their Net Gen and Millennial students. Reaching out to and leveraging the talents of 21st century faculty members will require a varied menu of established and innovative support options.

Web Bonus

Three members of the EDUCAUSE Advisory Committee for Teaching and Learning (ACTL) discuss technology use by and IT support of 21st century faculty members, as well as other considerations for today's faculty development models.
