How Technology is Transforming Education: The New Normal

Educators worldwide are embracing technology as a key strategic tool for preparing students to thrive and succeed in a complex and dynamic global economy, as well as to become engaged and active global citizens.  The big challenge for educators and learning institutions is knowing how to harness the power and possibilities that technology brings.

There are new and emerging technologies such as the cloud, augmented reality, big data & learning analytics, game-based learning, artificial intelligence, virtual learning environments, wearable's, an explosion of tablets and mobile devices, 3-D printing, etc.  And, new usage models are being enabled though this technology, such as MOOCs, personalized learning, social learning, social incubators, flipped classrooms, collaborative classrooms, etc.

As these technologies and usage models empower students to take control of their own learning destines, what will education even look like in the near/medium/long term future?  And, what role will educators and learning institutions play as the new normal for education takes shape.
