Nature of the academy
(2) “The technologies we use are increasingly cloud-based, and our notions of IT support are decentralized.”
(1) “The abundance of resources and relationships made easily accessible via the Internet is increasingly challenging us to revisit our roles as educators in sense-making, coaching, and credentialing.”
32
How we work
(4) “The work of students is increasingly seen as collaborative by nature, and there is more cross-campus collaboration between departments.”
(3) “People expect to be able to work, learn, and study whenever and wherever they want to.”

Review the technologies and ask…
What is missing for this technology or practice to be implemented locally?
What kind of additional research needs to be done concerning this technology?
42
Review the technologies and ask…
What would be the ramifications and opportunities for learning if this technology were adopted?
What kinds of teaching and learning engagements might this technology: make better or enable?
43
Review the technologies and ask…
What might be some low cost points of entry or possibilities for a pilot?
If we decide to do a pilot on one of the technologies, what kind of evaluation methodology can we overlay on the project to assess outcomes?
44
Spawn local, HR-like processes
Follow HR process methodology
Form institutional study/research teams
Work with cross-institutional or virtual study/research teams
45
Use to support proposals
Cite the Horizon Report as a reference
Use for local funding requests
Use for foundations and funding agencies
46
Strategic and tactical planning processes
Strategic: medium and longer term horizons
Reference the trends and challenges
Use the example sites
Tactical: shorter term horizons
47
Discover the pioneers
Who’s working with these technologies now?
48
Distribute locally
Send to senior administrators
Send to key planners
Send to key partners
