Five Signposts for the future signal significant changes for education
Today’s generation of “digitally native” students
TECHNOLOGY IMMERSION
PERSONAL LEARNING PATHS Individualised and varied learning paths
KNOWLEDGE SKILLS21st century skills for service-based economies
Global integration of systems, resources, and cultures
GLOBAL INTEGRATION
ECONOMIC ALIGNMENTEducation’s critical role in a 21st century economy
Education for a Smarter Planet: The Future of Learning
IBM Global Education 20114
Students of the future will be immersed in technology
Devices— Aware environments and intelligent devices enable mobile and more “natural” ways to access learning (sensors, miniaturisation, chips in everything)
What technology will students be using in the future?
Information/Databases— Filters the information overload, enables collaboration and establishes relevant context (Personalised filters ,Unlimited storage, Reusable learning objects)
Connections— The “always on” infrastructure(5.3B mobile connections,77% population), enables people to be connected anytime, anywhere, anyway
(Increased bandwidth (Ultra Fast Broadband by2016), Mobile media, Global tracking technologies)
Interfaces— Engagement of all senses to develop deeper and more intuitive understanding (Virtual reality, Voice recognition, Shared displays)
Biolinks—Biotech meets infotech to provide ultimate personalisation (Adaptive systems, Eye-tracking interfaces, Biometrics)

A services-based economy drives educational change
Services-based positions have increased 11% over the past 25 years, while industrial and agricultural jobs have decreased.
Human capital has replaced physical capital as the source of organisational value.
Employees will require lifelong educational services to maintain old skills and develop new ones to meet job requirements

What skills will be required of the worker of tomorrow?
Employers are looking for workers who possess 21st century skills

Global Integration presents opportunities and challenges to education systems
Technology and connectivity has raised awareness of the potential for greater outcomes
Global networks introduces new competitors to traditionally stable education environments
Innovative institutions have defined unique value that they can provide to a global classroom
Education for a Smarter Planet: The Future of Learning
IBM Global Education 20119
Much of the $12B in government spending recognises education‘s critical role in economic recovery
Education systems that adapt and respond accordingly are critical to successful return on those investments
Need for alignment of educational outcomes to the demands of tomorrow’s workforce
While at a public policy level, concerns about global competitiveness will compel policymakers to intensify educational accountability across the full spectrum of educational services
Need for policy changes here to support new models

Open Technologies
Non monopolistic delivery of services within a common, open framework.
Provides choice, flexibility, investment security and fosters rapid innovation..
Open standards are gaining traction throughout the IT industry. Projects such as:
– Apache for web platforms
– Eclipse for application development
– Linux for servers
Applications are becoming more open through service-oriented architectures and open-source projects, like Sakai, Kuali and Moodle.
Open systems are critical to the future of learning to enable a seamless education continuum that is centred on the student, not the institutions.

Consumer IT
Cloud computing evolution will be complemented by continued growth in the mobile technology and device market.
There is a risk in development and deployment of a coherent enterprise strategy and architecture as institutions chase the latest consumer craze.
Savvy institutions will build an open environment for their enterprise that accommodates and leverages the consumer market, but is not driven by it. .
Education for a Smarter Planet: The Future of Learning
IBM Global Education 2011
Cloud Technology
The new paradigm, dubbed “cloud computing” is really about shift toward true utility models of computing
Public clouds will offer consumer level services and can be integrated into an enterprise to provide common user services
Institutions and communities will build their own Private clouds to provide unique services to their constituents - This will produce new opportunities for education institutions and governments to create shared services across regions and systems

Successful education systems in the next decade will share a number of strategic policy actions
Adopt and Promote a vision of Personalised Learning encouraging better use of data to manage and tailor learning services to individual students
Establish Student-Centric versus Institutionally-Centric Processes to provide better insights, interventions and opportunities to improve outcomes
Promote Open Standards and Open Platforms in Technology to enable a broad set of providers to contribute to a rich, diverse world of learning
Consolidate Services across Institutions and Agencies to realise the benefits of cloud computing and shared services

Critical Success Factors for innovation in education
Proactive and committed senior leadership
Student-centric processes and systems
Effective learning and collaboration models
Specialisation of services to differentiate education providers
A dynamic and integrated infrastructure

Why must we take action now?
Status quo is not an option for education systems in many countries. If we wait too long to act or do not act decisively enough, our education systems will be unable to continue along the current path and, then, require immediate or forced restructuring.
Both individually and collectively, today, stakeholders have the unique opportunity to embrace the emerging trends to create the educational continuum. These education systems will become assets to New Zealand and our people. They can help the individuals they serve contribute to the societal and economic health of their country and others.
