 Marty McPugFly invites you to the future.


Come with me, citizens, to the future! During the third and final chat focused on the 2016 Horizons Report, our discussion will center on both long-term trends affecting technology adoption in higher education, and also technologies that are expected to experience widespread adoption within four-five years.
Find the Horizon Report here: http://cdn.nmc.org/media/2016-nmc-horizon-report-he-EN.pdf and pack your best “reading” material!

We will focus specifically on:

·         Key Trends Accelerating Technology Adoption in Higher Education
o   Long-Term Impact Trends Driving Ed Tech adoption in higher education (five or more years)  
§  Advancing Cultures of Innovation  
§  Rethinking How Institutions Work 10

·         Technologies in the Four-Five Year Time-to-Adoption category
o   Affective Computing
o   Robotics

Transcript: http://bit.ly/1VhFRma

Horizon Report, 2016 Higher Education Edition - Part 2
Thursday, March 17, 2016
9:00 pm Eastern / 6:00 pm Pacific
Led by @PFAnderson

Second of three weeks on the Horizon Report. Last week we talked about immediate attention/action issues. This is the "getting edgy" week. 

Mid-Term Impact Trends: Driving Ed Tech adoption in higher education for three to five years
 > Redesigning Learning Spaces, p.12
 > Shift to Deeper Learning Approaches, p.14

Difficult Challenges: Those that we understand but for which solutions are elusive
 > Competing Models of Education, p.26
 > Personalizing Learning, p.28

Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Two to Three Years
 > Augmented and Virtual Reality, p.40
 > Makerspaces, p.42

Be ready to discuss these topics and possible solutions and uses your institution have implemented with available technologies and other resources you've utilized.

March 24th, when we go to the "far out," will be led by @KR_Barker who will discuss items of interest expected to arise in the next 4-5 years. I hope you'll be able to join us over the next few chats as we dissect The Horizon Report, 2016 Higher Education Edition.

Data Management Chat

Transcript: http://bit.ly/1oTwXP1

Some Implications of Data Management
Thursday, March 3, 2016
9 PM Eastern/6 PM Pacific Time
Led by Patricia Devine (@pat_devine)
Special Guest Betsy Rolland (@betsyrolland)


"The absence of an incentive to share seems about to change. The proposal by the medical editors outlines an approach that would require: a data-sharing policy when the study is started; a commitment to share within six months of publication; and that those who use the data acknowledge those who produced it."

Data Management plans and the idea of data sharing are growing in popularity and by in some cases required by policy. What are some of the social and technology issues around sharing and reusing data? How will the infrastructure be developed? Who will develop the guidance?


Join us and special guest Betsy Rolland, PhD, MLIS, MPH, National Cancer Institute Cancer Prevention Fellow and proponent of team science (betsyrolland.com) to discuss data management from a researcher’s perspective. Currently there is little crossover between the scientific literature community and the social science literature community, yet both groups are implicated in the data sharing future.


Some questions to consider:

  • Who are all the interested parties who should be at the table to discuss the development of data management plans?
  • Where will all the data be kept?
  • Who will pay for the data storage and the time it takes to answer questions?
  • Will each research group have to negotiate data use agreements/authorship?
  • What are some of the challenges of data reuse? Will the original study have the right to refuse the new analyses? What if the new analyses used the data incorrectly? Will participants need to be re-consented?
