In about a month, I’ll start working on this year-end series. So I’m starting to think about which ten trends I’ll focus on. My list, which is built in part from the topics I covered last year, is currently longer than ten:
- Business of Ed-Tech
- Politics of Ed-Tech
- The Collapse of For-Profit Higher Ed (Or Not)
- The Employability Narrative
- Data and Privacy
- Beyond the MOOC
- Social Media and Free Speech
- Credits and Credentialing
- Free College and Student Loans
- Mindsets and Social Emotional Learning
- Personalization
- Wishful Thinking and Futures
- Automation and Algorithms
- Social Justice and Discriminatory Design
Some of these won’t make the cut. Some of these could be consolidated. And I’ll probably use “Wishful Thinking” as a theme to kick off the series – that is, an eleventh post in the series.
