http://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/online-education-trends/articles/338/

In the web page, it says:


"The New Media Consortium and Educause Learning Initiative (ELI) this month jointly released the NMC Horizon Report: 2013 Higher Education Edition, which identifies six emerging technologies as well as key trends and challenges that will shape the industry over the next one to five years. ..."

"This year’s report lists massively open online courses (MOOCs) and tablet computing as technologies expected to enter mainstream use within one year. Gamification and learning analytics will reach similar standing in the next two to three years, while 3D printing and wearable technology are expected to emerge in four to five years."

    Some ideas from the article:

    Tablet learning would promote learner-tutor interaction.

    Tablet learning would advance personalized learning.

    In the report:

    "Samsung    is    piloting    a    program    called    “Smart    School”    at    Lavington    Primary    School    in    Africa    in    which    classrooms    are    equipped    with    Galaxy    Tablets.    So    far,    teachers    have    noted    that    the    devices    have    made    learning    experiences    more    personalized    and    interactive."
