1. TEN
EMERGING
INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY
TRENDS TO IMPACT
SIGNIFICANTLY
ON EDUCATION IN
2016
BY JUNIA MARIN

2. 1. EDMODO
• EDMODO IS A WEBSITE THAT ACTS AS A SOCIAL LEARNING
PLATFORM FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS.
• IT FACILITATES AN ONLINE CLASSROOM SETTING.
• BY 2016 IT WOULD BE AN INDISPENSABLE RESOURCE.
• ALLOWS PARENTS TO MONITOR CHILDREN’S PROGRESS.
• HAS ASSESSMENT TOOLS EG. SNAPSHOT

4. 2. VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS

5. 2. VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS

6. 2. VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS
• Virtual Assistants are the latest and advanced versions of
Digital Assistants.
• Students in 2016 would operate their Virtual Assistants by
voice recognition.
• The improvement in Artificial Intelligence would allow
students to interact through conversations..
• Virtual Assistants would support and determine the
individual needs of the learner.
• SIRI, GOOGLE NOW and CORTANA are three examples of
Virtual Assistants for mobile devices.

7. 3. WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY

8. 3. WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY
Three types that would be integrated in education by 2016.
• Connected : Person to person
eg. A Physical Education teacher can monitor heart rates of active
students.
• Tailored Eco-system . Person to computer.
Eg. A computer can determine whether a Science student is in a
dangerous environment.
• Co-evolved possibilities: person-as-computer.
Eg. Blinking to operate electronic items in the 2016 classroom.

9. 4. LEARNING ANALYTICS.

10. 4. LEARNING ANALYTICS.
A Field associated with deciphering trends and
patterns from educational big data, or huge sets of
student-related data.
By 2016 Learning Analytics would be used to advance
personalized, supportive systems of education.

11. 5. MOBILE LEARNING

12. 5. MOBILE LEARNING
By 2016 m-learning would allow individuals to engage in
learning when interacting with, or creating information,
mediated through a compact digital portable device.
The connectivity and access to mobile devices in 2016 would
allow for integration in all educational pursuits.

13. 6. 3D PRINTING

14. 6. 3D PRINTING
• Students by 2016, will be able to analyze and
solve design problems by printing tangible
prototypes.
• It allows for Hands-on learning through 3D
models.
• Teachers can create tangible aids and stimulate
interaction.

15. 7. FLIPPED CLASSROOMS

16. 7. FLIPPED CLASSROOMS
• Flipping involves changing the focus of the learning from
the teacher to the students…….
• Students construct their own learning through interaction
of online resources.

17. 8. GAME BASED LEARNING

18. 8. GAME BASED LEARNING
• The principles of game design would be applied to the
learning process.
• Learners would be engaged.
• It would provide another medium for learners to be
assessed.
• It would encourage problem solving skills in real life
simulations.

19. 9. CLOUD APPS

20. 9. CLOUD APPS
• By 2016, would redesign the teaching/learning process
through the widespread availability and accessibility of
interactive multimedia learning environments.
• They would provide students with digital storage for class
notes, papers and projects.

21. 10. AUGMENTED REALITY

22. 10. AUGMENTED REALITY
• A real world environment that is augmented by the use of
computer generated inputs.
• Inputs that augment reality: sounds, video, graphics,
animations and GPS data.
• By 2016 would be widely used in education to enhance
students’ creativity and design skills.
