12 technologies qui vont changer le monde (et tuer des emplois) L’institut de conseil McKinsey a publié un rapport en mai intitulé « Technologies de rupture : des avancées qui changeront la vie, le commerce et l’économie mondiale ». Dans ce document de 180 pages, douze innovations sont listées, toutes capables de modifier le monde à l’horizon 2025. Une technologie dite « de rupture » a une particularité : comme l’indique son nom, elle rompt avec le marché existant – qu’elle altère ou détruit – et modifie le paysage économique en profondeur. Impact économique et capacité de rupture Les années 2000 ont aussi eu leur lot de ruptures technologiques « en devenir » avec par exemple le téléchargement face à l’achat de formats physiques, le livre numérique, l’e-commerce... La liste dressée par les experts de McKinsey n’est pas exhaustive mais s’articule autour de deux critères : l’importance de l’impact économique et sociétal de ces innovations et leur capacité à rompre réellement avec le marché existant. Une création de richesse astronomique

Need To Grow Your EdTech Startup? Edtech Incubators Are Popping Up Everywhere There is no question that education is an unusual industry: Nonprofit ventures compete with for-profits. (In fact, it’s frequently hard to tell them apart.) The “users” of products aren’t typically the folks who are the “buyers” of products. For those kinds of reasons, it made perfect sense when three experienced Internet businessmen started an education technology incubator, Imagine K12, in early 2011. And since incubators are kind of geographic hot spots, it made sense that entrepreneurs on the East Coast should have one, too. So far in 2013, the U.S. alone has seen five new edtech incubators and accelerators. It’s a telling sign of the convergence of dynamic energies: a supply of talented and passionate entrepreneurs devoted to the space, renewed faith in the education market among investors, and a global belief in the potential for technology to better education. February’s Fab Five Two days after the Kaplan-TechStars announcement, Pearson launched its own incubator, Catalyst.

Mount Royal College - Curriculum Development and Instructional Design Certificate Program Curriculum An Instructional Design Strategy Template Methods of instruction are the domain of the instructional designer. In developing instructional designs, they need to develop designs on the basis of learner needs. This section provides an instructional strategy design template that can be applied for different types of learning. Adapted from Smith, P.L., & Ragan, T.J. (2005). Each phase has specific components. In the next section that describes the template in more detail, the examples provided suggest that the designer can either link the examples to a specific component or apply the activity to more than one component. Introduction Phase The introduction phase prepares the learner for the activity. The introduction phase articulates the learning outcomes or what learners are expected to achieve and demonstrate after engaging in the learning experiences.
