Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.73,0:00:51.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Advancing cultures of change and innovation reflects a broader trend in society in which Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.90,0:00:56.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,businesses are adapting their strategies to remain relevant. There is a need for policies in Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.70,0:00:59.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,higher ed that more aggressively support agility. Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.70,0:01:04.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Collective action among universities is growing in importance for the future of higher education. Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.20,0:01:08.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Combining resources in today's global environment allows universities to cross borders Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.40,0:01:13.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and work toward common goals concerning technology, research, and shared values. Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.10,0:01:16.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In the mid-term trends: growing focus on measuring learning and proliferation of open Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.83,0:01:19.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,educational resources. Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.10,0:01:23.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Measuring learning is all about using data to personalize the learning experience. Learning Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.07,0:01:27.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,analytics is the key element of this trend which aims to provide crucial insights into student Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.33,0:01:31.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,progress and interaction with online texts, courseware, and learning environments. Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.87,0:01:35.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Open educational resources are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.90,0:01:41.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the public domain for free use and repurposing by others. It's gaining traction across campuses, but Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.10,0:01:45.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,its broader acceptance in the higher education hinges on the issue of awareness and Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.17,0:01:46.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,accessibility.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.23,0:01:56.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Blended learning has become popular as perceptions of online learning as a viable Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.60,0:02:00.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,alternative to face to face learning have been shifting toward more favorable. To implement Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.90,0:02:05.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,blended learning will require concrete online learning guidelines and continuous visionary Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.53,0:02:07.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,leadership. Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.10,0:02:10.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Many higher education professionals have started \Nto rethink how learning spaces should be Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.37,0:02:14.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,configured after a student-centered approach has become more popular. The traditional classroom Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.47,0:02:18.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,mold is being broken to accommodate flexible and active learning. Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.23,0:02:22.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Next up are the significant challenges impeding technology adoption in higher education. These Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.67,0:02:26.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,range from those challenges we understand and know how to solve to the wicked challenges that Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.00,0:02:29.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are complex to even address. Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.03,0:02:34.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The solvable challenges are blending informal and formal learning and improving digital literacy. Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.10,0:02:38.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Blending formal and informal learning is a challenge due to lack of ways to acknowledge Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.13,0:02:41.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and qualify learning that happens beyond the classroom. National policies that guide the Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.83,0:02:46.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,substantiation of informal learning across education systems will help formally evaluate Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.67,0:02:48.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,those experiences. Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.03,0:02:52.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Digital literacy is a new category of competence, and the challenge is that a lack of consensus on Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.00,0:02:57.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what comprises digital literacy is impeding many colleges and universities from formulating Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.80,0:03:01.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,adequate policies and programs that address this challenge. Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.70,0:03:05.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Difficult challenges are trickier because we understand them but solutions are elusive.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.53,0:03:15.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Personalized learning refers to the range of educational programs, learning experiences, Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.67,0:03:20.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,instructional approaches, and academic support strategies intended to address the specific Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.23,0:03:25.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,learning needs, interests, aspirations or cultural backgrounds of individual students. The biggest Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.83,0:03:30.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,barrier is that scientific data-driven approaches to effectively facilitate personalization have only Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.80,0:03:32.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,recently begun to emerge. Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.67,0:03:36.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Higher order thinking is not only a valuable skill in today's world but necessary for understanding Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.83,0:03:41.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and solving complex real-world problems. Encouraging and teaching complex thinking is Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.40,0:03:46.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,challenging because educators have only just started articulating this multifaceted need in Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.43,0:03:47.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,higher education. Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.67,0:03:51.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And for wicked challenges: competing models of education and rewarding teaching. Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.97,0:03:55.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,New models of education are bringing unprecedented competition to the traditional Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.27,0:04:00.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,models of higher education. Across the board, institutions are looking for ways to provide a high Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.73,0:04:04.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,quality of service and more learning opportunities at lower costs. Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.80,0:04:09.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Teaching is often rated lower than research in academia. Funding and prestige are derived from Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.07,0:04:14.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,institutions' scholarly imprint, which has created an inhospitable environment for those who like to Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.20,0:04:19.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,teach. Three main points of this challenge are the \Nneed to prioritize teaching and learning over Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.37,0:04:24.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,research, the importance of training faculty members to teach at a first-rate standard, and for Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.67,0:04:28.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,policymakers and thought leaders to push institutions of higher education to reevaluate their Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.00,0:04:31.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,missions so that teaching is a keystone. Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.73,0:04:35.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Finally, the report addresses important developments in educational technology. On the Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.70,0:04:40.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one year or less adoption horizon: BYOD and flipped classrooms.
