Earlier this year we did a series on grading practices. Our next series will feature information from the Horizons Report. The Horizons Report is put out by The New Media Consortium which is a community of hundreds of leading universities, colleges, museums, and research centers. The NMC stimulates and furthers the exploration and use of new media and technologies for learning and creative expression. Last week they released the Higher Ed Version of their report on trends in educational technology and challenges of implementation. The video below gives a brief summary of the report. Each week we will highlight one of the trends or challenges. Once the K-12 report is released, we will focus on trends in challenges in K-12.
