Perils of Predicting the Future

Forecasting versus Predicting
Predicting is about certainty, and forecasting is about appreciating uncertainty. Forecasting gives a context for decision makers to act in the face of uncertainty. In the business world, uncertainty is our friend, because uncertainty is opportunity.

Not Determinism, but Technology Does Transform

Trends
http://www.flickr.com/photos/banlon1964/11647398/
The growing use of Web 2.0 and social networking—combined with collective intelligence and mass amateurization—is gradually but inexorably changing the practice of scholarship.
The way we work, collaborate, and communicate is evolving as boundaries become more fluid and globalization increases.
Access to—and portability of—content is increasing as smaller, more powerful devices are introduced.
The gap between students’ perception of technology and that of faculty continues to widen. Students and faculty continue to view and experience technology very differently.

Challenges
http://www.flickr.com/photos/nessman/2795762/
Significant shifts in scholarship, research,
creative expression, and learning have created
a need for innovation and leadership at all
levels of the academy.
Higher education is facing a growing
expectation to deliver services, content and
media to mobile and personal devices.
The renewed emphasis on collaborative
learning is pushing the educational community
to develop new forms of interaction and
assessment.
The academy is faced with a need to provide
formal instruction in information, visual, and
technological literacy as well as in how to create
meaningful content with today’s tools.
