This document discusses emerging educational technologies and research directions. It identifies 9 emerging technologies: cloud computing, mobile learning, tablet computing, MOOCs, open content, games and gamification, 3D printing, virtual laboratories, and wearable technology. It recommends areas for further research, including user modeling, mobile tools, networking, serious games, and educational data mining. Finally, it discusses enabling and barriers to technology in education, and using technology as cognitive tools to support knowledge construction, reflective thinking, and distributing cognitive processing.

17. A network of excellence for technology
enhanced learning
• Provide a unifying framework for research;
• Engage the TEL community in scientific debate and
discussion to develop awareness of and respect for
different theoretical and methodological perspectives;
• Build TEL knowledge;
• Developing an understanding of how Web 2.0
technologies can support the construction of
knowledge and research; and,
• Develop strategies for TEL instruments to feed and
fuel ongoing developments.

18. Research directions
• Enablers and barriers
• Technology as Cognitive Tools

19. Rationales for Using Technology as Cognitive Tools
• Designers as Learners
• Learners as Designers
• Learners as Thinkers
• Knowledge Construction, Not
Reproduction
• Reflective Thinking
• Learning WITH Technology
• (Un)intelligent Tools
• Distributing Cognitive Processing
