Thinking in the open about Microsoft Teams by Lawrie PhippsLawrie Phipps
I was at one of the Microsoft Teams education road shows on Thursday (11th July) at their Paddington offices. There is clearly a lot of thinking to be done in this space but I wanted to put down some initial thoughts about what I observed, not just in terms of the presentations I saw, but in terms of the people who were there, their reactions and comments. In terms of who was in the room, it was a mix of IT, teaching, and e-learning staff. I think it is also fair to say the audience was mixed in terms of MS Teams “evangelists”, sceptics, and people there who were trying to get a handle on what they need to do to support teachers and teaching in light of their institutional strategy, and who were looking at Teams as a potential part of that picture.

Key Issues in Teaching & Learning 2019
Each year, the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative surveys the higher education community to determine key issues and opportunities in post secondary teaching and learning. These issues serve as the framework, or focal points, for our discussions and programming throughout the coming year. For 2019, more than 1400 community members voted and identified 15 key issues.

📜 Topping the list is ‘Faculty Development and Engagement’, followed by ‘Online & Blended Learning’ and ‘Instructional and Learning Experience Design’.

Ed-Tech Retro-Futurism and Learning Engineering by Matt CrosslinMatt Crosslin

I don’t know what I am allowed to say about this yet, but recently I was recorded on an awesome podcast by someone that I a big fan of their work. One of the questions he asked was what I meant on my website when I say “Ed-Tech Retro-Futurist.” It is basically a term I made up a few years ago (and then never checked to see if someone else already said it) in response to the work of people like Harriet Watkins and Audrey Watters that try to point out how too many people are ignoring the decades of work and research in the educational world. My thought was that I should just skip Ed-Tech Futurism and go straight to Retro-Futurism, pointing out all of the ideas and research from the past that everyone is ignoring in the rush to look current and cool in education.
