Open Course in Education Futures

About this Project:

"What is the next wave of technological change? What can educators do to prepare and anticipate trends? Using a method called “future thinking,” this course will look at a variety of trends and provide a series of potential scenarios and future directions. Participants will be actively involved in tracking critical trends, exploring their educational impact, and plan for ways to prepare for important changes.

This is a course being taught for the University of Manitoba by Dave Cormier and George Siemens as part of the certificate in emerging technology. It will be an open course, that anyone can join in as we go along. We will be examining the possible futures for education. In order to explore potential paths for education, learning, and training, we will spend time developing a framework for analyzing trends and for generating and evaluating scenarios."

You could spend hours reading here and none of it would be wasted. (not something I can say about hours on the computer often enough.) Blogs range over a multitude of educational topics. A treasure...really.
