Abstract
A wide range of technologies that today are on the vanguard or in pilot phases could soon become common tools for learning in physical spaces. Emerging technologies show great promise for engaging students in more active and personalized learning and deeper participation in collaboration. By facilitating deeper engagement in learning on the part of students, emerging technologies can support current trends in learning design, including improving the way we assess how students learn and what they are learning.
The 7 Things You Should Know About... series from the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) provides concise information on emerging learning technologies. Each brief focuses on a single technology and describes what it is, where it is going, and why it matters to teaching and learning. Use these briefs for a no-jargon, quick overview of a topic and share them with time-pressed colleagues.
In addition to the 7 Things briefs, you may find other ELI resources useful in addressing teaching, learning, and technology issues at your institution. To learn more, please visit the ELI Resources page.
