I worry
that the social and equitable contribution of universities in society will not remain as they undergo stunning and dramatic restructuring

“If the ladder of educational opportunity rises high at the doors of some youth and scarcely rises at the doors of others, while at the same time formal education is made a prerequisite to occupational and social advance, then education may become the means, not of eliminating race and class distinctions, but of deepening and solidifying them.”
President Truman, 1947

Ed-tech startupsWith transformations already underway in news, music, videos/movies, startup gold rush now turning focus to education
![Page 16: Learning Analytics, New Technologies, and Improved Learning George Siemens Oct 19, 2015 OSU](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93a1e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
This system is being unbundled & rebundled,
creating new power and influence structures
![Page 17: Learning Analytics, New Technologies, and Improved Learning George Siemens Oct 19, 2015 OSU](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93a1e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Technology in education
![Page 18: Learning Analytics, New Technologies, and Improved Learning George Siemens Oct 19, 2015 OSU](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93a1e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
This is the background of new teaching/technology use:
1. Growing income inequality2. New learner profile3. Systemic change (unbundling &
rebundling)
![Page 19: Learning Analytics, New Technologies, and Improved Learning George Siemens Oct 19, 2015 OSU](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93a1e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Much of it starts in openness (free software, open source, and eventually open
education)

This idea of building on the accepted foundations of knowledge, the basis of scientific culture, naturally passed into the ethos of the computing world with the advent of the first computer networks in the 60's and 70's.
They recognised that they could never fully harness the vast and quickly evolving power of these computers if they worked in isolation.
de Grancy et al. 2004

“anything artificially put in to stop people from running a program is simply a deliberate bug”
Stallman, 1996

Four Generations of Educational Technology
1. Basic tech use: CBT, website2. ERP-type learning systems
(LMS/CMS)3. Fragmentation: Web 2.0, social
media, competency, adaptive/personalized
4. Distributed & networked

Technology is intertwined with power shifts in society

But, the power shift also creates Pareto’s Palace for top companies

Framework for understanding future technology infrastructure
Control between learner and faculty/institution, including structured and unstructured learning activitiesOwnership of data and content – the learner or the institutionIntegration – loosely coupled with data exchange happening through APIs and related industry standards or tightly connected with enterprise level systemsStructure - centralized and decentralized teaching and learning approaches

To understand what tomorrow’s education system will look like, the technologies that we will use, and how we will teach,
we have to understand the architecture of information today:how is it createdhow is it sharedhow is it iterated
how is it controlled?

Preparation for future technology use is a mindset shift :
experimental, acceptance of ambiguity, recognition of complexity,participatory pedagogy,flexible control points

Learning analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for the purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs.
