Page 8: MegaTrends in ICT

Operating Systems

• Google Chrome OS "The user interface is minimal to stay out of

your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the Web. And as we did for the Google Chrome browser, we are going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don't have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. It should just work." -Google

Page 9: MegaTrends in ICT

Operating Systems

• Google Chrome OSIf Google can come up with an OS that can be downloaded, dropped onto any machine and then “just works,” we might just have the ultimate portable OS. Google is implicitly making the argument that there’s no need to pay the premium for a Microsoft OS, when there is [one] lighter, faster and free. -Wired

• Discovery-based learning

aka inquiry-based, resource-based, project-based, and active) learning

takes place in problem-solving situations

Page 30: MegaTrends in ICT

Current Trends in Teaching and Learning

• “Teach less, learn more”

Page 31: MegaTrends in ICT

Current Trends in Teaching and Learning

Page 32: MegaTrends in ICT

Current Trends in Teaching and Learning

Page 33: MegaTrends in ICT

Current Trends in Teaching and Learning

• course content is publicly accessible and shared beyond the members of an individual course

Page 34: MegaTrends in ICT

Current Trends in Teaching and Learning

• teaching and learning extend beyond the classroom and into the campus and community

Page 35: MegaTrends in ICT

Current Trends in Teaching and Learning

Page 36: MegaTrends in ICT

Current Trends in Teaching and Learning

• the audience for student work is expanding from the individual instructor to communities of discourse that include peer feedback and exchange

Current Trends in Teaching and Learning

Today’s students have grown up with technology as the air they breathe, are used to being wired 24/7, are comfortable multi-tasking in multi-media, and bring very different expectations to the classroom as a result.

Page 38: MegaTrends in ICT

Current Trends in Teaching and Learning

Today’s employers prize transferable skills (e.g. problem solving, creativity, interdisciplinary teamwork) over encyclopedic knowledge.
