Three types of edtech joined the “filmstrip” category in this decade: Learning Management Systems , MOOC s, and digital badges.
The primary trends identified by the team were: adaptive learning, open education resources (OER), gamification and game-based learning, MOOCs, LMS and interoperability, mobile devices, and design.

Stephen Downes , senior researcher at the National Research Council of Canada and co-creator of the MOOC, began with an overview of the predictive process, saying it “isn’t magic, but it’s not mechanical either.” And he’s seen “a laundry list” of promising examples over the last few years. I don’t think that’s what’s going on here.
A researcher, theorist, educator, Siemens is the digital learning guy. He’s credited with co-teaching the first MOOC in 2008, introduced the theory of “connectivism”—the idea that knowledge is distributed across digital networks—and spearheaded research projects about the role of data and analytics in education.
These principles include understanding users and creating a minimum viable product, for example, and we apply them to each project. These assessments take a variety of forms ranging from one-on-one interviews with end-users to using techniques from the emerging field of learninganalytics.
Some new services and platforms will emerge to cater for different forms of learning, MOOCs will evolve and improve and open badges will be hot. Look out for rhizomatic learning. The MOOC backlash. Of course I have to start with MOOCs. The MOOC backlash started in earnest in 2013. Introduction.
” And I wondered at the time if that would be the outcome for MOOCs. 2012, you will recall, was “ the year of the MOOC.”) Would there even be “learninganalytics” without the LMS, I wonder?). The company sold The Financial Times and its stake in The Economist in 2015, for example.

That being said, if you’re using a piece of technology that’s free, it’s likely that your personal data is being sold to advertisers or at the very least hoarded as a potential asset (and used, for example, to develop some sort of feature or algorithm). Certainly “free” works well for cash-strapped schools.
” Online Education (and the Once and Future “MOOC”). ” (This is a good example of how ed-tech advocacy-posing-as-journalism operates – you get funded by an organization and then you get to “break the news” about that organization. ” The virtual charter school in question: ECOT.
