What I Think I Know Now

It’s been almost exactly a year since I started blogging on Educational Imaginations.

A year ago I believed that higher education in the United States seemed ripe for a discontinuous jolt and that new technologies seemed a likely driver of that change.

I now find these beliefs no less compelling, but see them in a broader context of educational and economic change, technological and social innovation, human learning and intentionality, institutional incentives and constraints, and the public good.

To consolidate my thinking and to chronicle a year of learning, I tried to explain to myself what I think I know now that I didn’t know a year ago.

I call it an annual report and it’s located here (pdf). It’s mercifully brief in hopes that it will actually be read.

I encourage and welcome comments. I’m aware that there is more than a whiff of superficiality to some statements, but view that mostly as learning to crawl before I can walk. Any help would be most welcome.
