Universities in 2020: A Technology Perspective by Lee RainieGardner Campbell
The document discusses how technology will transform universities by 2020. It outlines several major shifts including (1) changing information ecosystems for networked learners due to ubiquitous connectivity and social media, (2) new literacies becoming required to navigate these environments, and (3) big data and the "internet of things" leading to an "exaflood" of information. It suggests universities will need to adapt to students being more self-directed learners who capture diverse inputs and rely on feedback from their networks.
For the Campus Technology 2010 Executive Summit. I began with a composite video of clips from the folks in the URLs in the first slide. The Michael Wesch video is located at the specific URL. The MJSokes clips were from his demos and lessons for "Blackbird" and "I Saw Her Standing There." The Khan Academy clip was from the first lesson on the atom.The "Symphony of Science" clip was from the "We Are All Connected" video.
This document discusses the concepts of information literacy, digital information fluency, and "media fluency". It argues that the current focus on teaching media production skills alone is an "epic fail" and that we should instead focus on developing "medium fluency" or "meta-medium fluency", which is the ability to understand and work with digital media and information as flexible tools and environments. The document provides several examples and perspectives to support this idea and concludes with three discussion questions about how to support the development of medium and meta-medium fluency in students.
This document provides an overview of new technologies and their impact on learning in the 21st century. It discusses how digital media represents a new medium that combines technical inventions and cultural expression. It also outlines predictions for advances in digital technologies like video playback speeds, camera resolution and mobile device capabilities. Several key concepts are defined around the nature of technology, including Brian Arthur's view that technology fulfills human purposes and that a collection of technologies is also a technology. Examples are given of educational technologies like the credit hour system. The potential of new media to support more engaged and collaborative learning is explored.
Integrative Learning And The Gift Of New Media: General Education for the 21s...Gardner Campbell
The document discusses the rise of new media and its implications for general education in the 21st century. It notes that digital technologies now allow for greatly increased creative expression and sharing of information. Educators need to help students develop skills to engage with these new media, including narrating, curating, and sharing content over networks. The task is to expand our means of expression using all available technologies.
This document discusses three metaphors for learning environments: habitat, feedback, and frame. It references research on early virtual worlds and emphasizes that learners seek richness, complexity, and depth in educational experiences. The document advocates for crafting unique learning environments rather than standardized approaches.
The document discusses the educational value of Web 2.0 and how it compares to traditional Ivy League education. It notes how Web 2.0 enables user-generated content, perpetual beta features, long tail effects and network effects. Key aspects of Web 2.0 that can enhance learning are intimacy, authenticity, imagination and emergence. Examples are provided of how discussion forums, syllabi and other academic tools can leverage these Web 2.0 features and dynamics.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

1. Teaching & Learning at
Virginia Tech, 2020:
Some Thoughts about Planning
John T. Harwood
Associate Vice Provost, Information Technology Services
Penn State
University Park, PA 16802
January 14, 2011
2. Penn State and VT: Siblings
§ We are kindred spirits – large R1s w/significant research
portfolios as well as significant teaching mission
§ Penn State is larger (~95K students, 6K faculty, and 15K
staff) @ 24 campuses ranging from 700 students to 42K
students
§ Highest tuition of any public University (~$13K for in-
state students and double for out-of-state in 2009-10)
§ Both face a challenging fiscal climate (aka hard times
ahead ) that should spur innovation (Math Emporium
2.0?)
§ Both face increased competition from other providers
3. Goals for Today
§ Ponder the current landscape of higher education
§ Identify key issues, concerns, and options at VT
§ Consider how to move forward – not whether to
move – at VT by addressing such questions as:
§ How is learning planned for at VT?
§ How can VT better leverage CIDR, IDDL, et al. to create
partnerships for learning ?
§ How can VT rethink learning spaces and computer labs
and gather evidence of learning?
§ How can VT support faculty in new models and modes of
teaching?
4. Goals for Today
§ To document my visionary skills, consider my
history and future of the Web in 30 seconds
Warning: scenarios are subject to change without
notice. Ten years ago who was thinking about
Google (IPO in 2004), YouTube (founded 2005), or
Facebook (founded in~2003)?
2020 seems a long way off, so why worry??

11. The future (of VT) ain t what it used to be
Yogi Berra
§ Proliferation / consolidation of § Just-in-time re-tooling of
e-learning courses and curricula
§ Mission deflation or creep § Mass customization will be a
§ Greater differentiation student expectation (learning
§ Brand at risk styles on steroids)
§ Open University-type teams vs.
§ Top 25 VT courses could be
taught by Megawatt U, which independent contractors as
course developers
has an articulation agreement
with VT and is cheaper for § So how many competitors will
students VT have in 2020?
§ Campus experience as a
differentiator, but how to
quantify the value?
13. Learning 1.0 at PSU
§ Old Main and two wise CIOs have invested heavily in
learning – and we have results to show for it
§ ANGEL (course management system)
§ Computing labs, classrooms, and learning spaces
§ E-Library services + new Knowledge Commons
§ Course redesign efforts (Pew, NCAT, Sloan) have led
us to self-fund and go hybrid, so we need a repository
§ Infrastructure (wireless, Shib, friction reducers )
§ World Campus (75,000 enrollments this year; focus on
adult learners) = $18M+ in revenue for colleges
§ High-stakes Testing Center and other innovations
14. What Penn State Students Expect
§ An increasing emphasis on relevance
§ An increasing effort to personalize learning
§ More active engagement with course
content, peers, and faculty
§ More effective feedback on learning
§ No increase in effort!
§ Besides, wired is cool (wireless, gadgets,
e-everything)
15. How One Redesign Spawned 30
§ Stat 200 (NCAT), 1999-2001
§ Biology 110 (Mellon Foundation), 2000
§ Spanish 1-3 (Textbook publisher), 2002
§ So why not fund the redesigns ourselves —
the PSU Blended Learning Initiative
§ ~30 undergraduate courses
16. Stat 200, Then and Now
§ Traditional design = 3 lectures and 1
recitation section
§ New model (2001) = 1-2 lectures + readiness
assessment tests (RATS) and online activities
§ Newer model (2007) = 2 lectures and 2 labs
§ Newest model (2009) is completely online
§ Same course, same standards, similar results
17. Stat 200, Then and Now
§ Stat 200 continues to innovate
§ Efficient use of ANGEL quizzes
§ High-stakes testing = more time for teaching
§ Clickers provide additional feedback
§ Huge classes seem small
§ Stat 200 now has an online version – same
results
§ Cost savings remain about $150K per year
(reduction in # of TA s)
19. Ten Questions about the VT
Landscape for Learning
§ Who is in control if the drivers of change are external, not
internal to VT?
§ Are social media, consumer devices, and constant
connectivity more important than backpacks and books?
§ What will textbooks be in 2020? Will any be printed? Will we
need a book store?
§ Will Wikipedia, Youtube, and Google kill the university
library?
§ If online universities are so successful, do we still need
campuses?
§ If VT students can succeed in online classes, do we need
classrooms?
20. Some Questions (cont)
§ Where in the curriculum will all VT undergraduates
acquire the IT skills and attitudes they will need as
employees and citizens?
§ How should VT assess its success in identifying and
measuring those skills?
§ What are the best models for helping faculty
incorporate discipline-appropriate best practices in
teaching and learning?
§ Which of the many possible innovations make most
sense in 2011-14? And how will we sustain them?
21. Issues and Policies for Today and 2020
§ Sustaining quality, mission, and market position
§ Finance and economics (the business case)
§ Faculty development and governance issues
§ Intellectual property, licensing, and Not-Invented-Here
§ Equity and access issues
§ Student services
Avoid PARALYSIS THROUGH ANALYSIS – good policies can
be developed and implemented
§ In the words of Bob Heterick: seek Access, Quality, and
Cost
24. We Know Too Little About
§ Curricular and instructional design questions
§ Optimal pedagogies for different disciplines
§ Best fit between kinds of students and kinds of
technology
§ Optimal class size for on-line classes and right
rhythm for hybrid courses
§ Metrics for assessing outcomes
§ Smarter ways to promote engagement, socialization,
and mentoring of faculty AND students
§ Impact of Learning 2.0 on faculty development,
rewards, and careers
§ Accreditation and institutional quality
25. Summary
§ The map of higher education is changing rapidly

§ Now is the right time to move forward – don t wait for the
technology to become perfect
§ Support your faculty, support your faculty, support your
faculty
