Well it’s the end of the decade and the new one has just started. I thought that, in the name of a harmless bit of fun, I would stick my neck out and make a few predictions about where we might be going with edtech in universities over the next decade. I’ve kept it brief because to explain each one in detail would make this post unbearably long and each subject probably deserves a more detailed post to fully explain my thinking. They also aren’t in any particular order. Let’s see if you agree or not. » Read more: The Decade Ahead in Higher EdTech

I won’t repeat the summary findings here as you see them summarised on the post itself and you can view the full thesis online here. The only thing to say here is that the level of reuse is much lower than might be expected. This has important implications for institutions commissioning large scale digital repositories where a primary motivator is increased reuse and sharing of OER. Of course there are other business reasons for implementing such systems.
