Digital Learners Road Map
Phase I – High Level StrategyJune 10th, 2011
![Page 2: Digital learners-road-map-presentation-june-10-2011](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061209/548e14dbb4795952128b45a5/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Digital Learners Roadmap Goal
• Where should digital learning resources be stored, backed up, discovered, and delivered?
• Delivered to students, teachers, librarians and administrators (also possibly to parents)
• Delivered in a scalable, high-performing, user-friendly and cost effective manner.

Digital Learners Roadmap Goal
• System must accommodate free materials– E.g. Creative Commons licensed– Locally created content
• System must accommodate proprietary content licensed by vendors to all schools in B.C., or just selected districts or schools.

Big problem with no single solution
• On surface digital learners strategy sounds simple but it’s actually a very complex and difficult problem– Human side is most challenging– Technical side is actually the easier to solve
![Page 5: Digital learners-road-map-presentation-june-10-2011](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061209/548e14dbb4795952128b45a5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Process – Quick and Thoughtful
• Process– Individual research conducted by project lead• Best practices in other jurisdictions• Break up solution into components
– Intent to follow with RFI / RFP process in future phase
• Research into prospective solutions for different components

Process – Quick and Thoughtful
• Process– “Think tank” was held May 31st of IT thought
leaders that have background in education• Group blog set up on eraccommons.ca to help key
stakeholders continue to collaborate on strategy
– Drafted out a provincial digital learner strategy

Process – Quick and Thoughtful
• Process– Gather feedback from initial stakeholder group– Revise as necessary– Final deliverable in the form of a 5 minute
animated video that clearly articulates recommended approach• Plan to send to District Superintendents for their review• Brief report will also be sent

Where should digital learning resources be stored?

Everywhere!
… but wherever possible, they should be embedded within the local context

- Facing disruption- Moving to electronic versions and distribution- Bundled licenses- Prices dropping- Some very high quality, useful content, especially with global focus
- Growing rapidly- New, easy to use digital content authoring tools- Moving to Creative Commons licensing- Affordability of learning resources improving- Highly relevant content
- Relatively small number of large players that contribute most content
- Explosive growth- User generated content- Free or low cost- Affordability of learning resources improving- Paradigm shift to sharing and mash-ups- Challenge is in filtering to get top resources
LearnNowBC + Social Network can tie it all together, aid in discovery, filtering & engagement

Key issues
• Importance of effective filtering / context tools– Want to avoid “echo chamber” approach– Want to ensure the “crowd” you are
crowdsourcing from has compatible values
![Page 23: Digital learners-road-map-presentation-june-10-2011](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061209/548e14dbb4795952128b45a5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The problem of the modern age isn’t information overload at all, it’s “filter failure”
– Clay Shirky

Key issues
• Breaking down of key roles, existing “pain points” and solutions– Students– Teachers– Administrators– Parents
![Page 25: Digital learners-road-map-presentation-june-10-2011](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061209/548e14dbb4795952128b45a5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Key issues
• IT Solutions are readily available• Challenge is more a change management one

• Fall 2011 -- Full RFP process and vendors selected
• Solutions rolled out between Jan. and June, 2012
• Full provincial system rolled out by Aug. 2012
