This presentation discusses the state of art of Innovation in Education and goes beyond technical advances to include the changing students and educational paradigms. It encompasses a wide range of sources- please feel free to email me if you have any questions.
3. Innovation: It is a multistage process that transforms ideas into products,
services or processes new and / or improved, in order to advance, compete and
differentiate themselves successfully in the market.
• Invention
• Improvement
• Innovation
4. 1 - Identify problems or trends
2 – Propose solutions
3 – Prepare a pilot / experiment
4 – Communicating the value of the invention
5 - Tests to enhance the invention
6 – Identify the successes
7 – Process and/or product improvement
8 – Implementation and market adoption.
9. “Learning and
innovation go
hand in hand.
The arrogance
of success is to
think that what
you did
yesterday will
be sufficient for
tomorrow.”
-William Pollard
English clergyman 1828-1893
10. Preparing students to participate
in their world
Lots of Problems

14. “We shape our tools
then our tools shape us”
Marshal McLuhan (1911-1980)
Philosopher of communication theory
Work is considered cornerstone of media theory
Predicted the world wide web almost 30 years before it was invented

25. “In a hunting culture, kids
play with bows and arrows.
In an information society,
they play with information.”
Henry Jenkins
Convergence Culture, pg. 134
26. “We’re moving out of an ‘Information Age’
and into a ‘Conceptual Age’…
…a time where
people who design,
people who create,
people who see the big picture
and can synthesize
vast amounts of input
are who will lead us forward.”
-Dan Pink
American author about business, work and management
29. “Globalization
doesn't have to be a
bad thing as long as
the government
provides us all with
the tools to cope in a
changing world.”
John B. Larson
U.S. Congressman
33. “Brazil spends the
equivalent of 105% of
GDP per capita on
each tertiary
student; however,
tertiary students
represent only 4% of
students enrolled in
all levels of
education
combined”
34. With the increase in the economy, more money has been invested into
education, however a lower percentage of the total public expenditures.
35. William J. Baumol
American Economist
Professor at Princeton and NYU
One of the most influential economists in the
world according to IDEAS/RePec
36. “ He who innovates will have
for his enemies those who are
well off under the existing
order of things, and only
lukewarm supporters in those
who might be better off under
the new”
Niccolo Machiaveli, The prince
47. “The aim of education
should be to teach us
rather how to think,
than what to think -rather to improve our
minds, so as to enable
us to think for
ourselves, than to load
the memory with the
thoughts of other
men.”
John Dewey (1859 –1952)
American philosopher, psychologist, and
educational reformer

the internet is like taking
a drink from a fire
hydrant.”

misleading
information.”

55. “People who think
outside the box
often talk to people
who play in a
different box to get
new ideas”
Clayton Christensen
Innovator Guru – Professor at Harvard University – author
of ‘The Innovator’s Dilemma’ – cofounder of Innosight,
consulting firm for innovation
62. Disruptive Innovation
“the innovations are not
independent, but fit together
into a new and disruptive
form of education that
transcends boundaries
between formal and informal
settings, institutional and selfdirected learning, and
traditional education
providers and commercial
organizations”
(Open University Innovating
Pedagogy 2012:6)
An innovation can increase profits on the value side (customers value an innovation enough to pay more for it)… or the cost side (the company produces a product offering in a more efficient way).
A radical innovation will instead involve large technological advancements, rendering the existing products non-competitive and obsolete.The phone had 35 minutes of talk time and weighed about 2.2 pounds; four iterations later, Cooper’s team would reduce the phone’s weight by half, finally launching in 1983 with a list price of about $4,000. Some Motorola executives believed that the high costs of mobile telephony would mean that cell phones would never reach beyond business users. “It cost so much and took so long,” Mr Cooper told the Economist in 2009. “But my focus has always been on the long-term technology vision.”
The idea of “disruptive” innovation was first advanced by Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen in his book The Innovator’s Dilemma.The first characteristic is that it initially provides inferior performance to existing products available. As a result, it is usually not of much interest to existing users or customers.The second characteristic is that it it serves a market segment that did not exist before. The third characteristic: a disruptive innovation has a steep improvement trajectory so that at a later stage it can meet the needs of the initial market as well. But, it appears that this criterion is not stressed so much now.

(Open University Innovating Pedagogy 2012:7)
a Canadian philosopher of communication theory. His work is viewed as one of the cornerstones of the study of media theory, as well as having practical applications in the advertising and television industries.[1][2]McLuhan is known for coining the expressions the medium is the message and the global village, and for predicting the World Wide Web almost thirty years before it was invented.[3]
Students are increasingly disengaged – they are spending much of their free time on the Internet, learning and exchanging new information — often via their social networks (Johnson et al., 2013:8) 68%ofteenstexteveryday, 51% visit social networking sites daily, and 11% sendorreceivetweetsatleastonceeveryday. In fact, 34% ofteensvisittheirmain social networking site several times a day. 23% ofteensis a “heavy” social media user, meaningthey use atleasttwodifferenttypesof social media eachandeveryday
What has emerged from this technological revolution are this next generation… the digital natives. Digital natives are those whose world has been completely immersed in these technological advancements and as what most of us are called, we the “digital immigrants”, they do not remember the time of book encyclopedias, life before the internet, before Google, when computers were huge things inside universities. The digital natives can be considered those born after 1980, however, clearly this is completely dependant upon access… What is important though is to understand that many of this new generation belong to this group of digital natives… An article in Amsterdam discusses the digital birth… where 25% of children are actually appearing online before they are even born… in sonogram’s, tweeting pregnancy experiences, emails account, albums… all before the child is even born… today the average digital birth of children they estimate is about 6 months of age. In places like Canada, USA, UK, France, Italy, Germany and Spain…. 81% of children under the age of 2 have some kind of digital profile or footprint.
91% of students used email to communicate with professors98% of students who own an ereader read etextbooks65% use digital devices to create presentations73% of college students said they can’t study without technology
Apple computershttp://awangshamsul.net/how-many-apple-computers-in-this-lecture-hall/70% of students use keyboards to take notes (no more paper)
Trends that are happening in our society…There are a million statistics about how fast things are moving… most of us have seen the presentation “shift happens”…. Which makes us reflect about how quickly things are moving and it becomes overwhelming to try to keep up…Amongst all of these statistics… what I saw as some of the most prominent trends… is that TV internet radio… they are as popular as ever… there is a max of about a 6.5 hours per day that is aa point of saturation… thus the amount of TV, internet radio people are using is about the same… However… now they are using it on mobile devces … children no longer see the need for fixed tele[phone lines, they interact throughout the day…. As part of their day… While the hours per day may not have technically increased… there is an increase in the amount of media that is being consumed by children… through the increase in multi-tasking…. Using multiple devices at the same time…. Mash-ups are another trend… it is almost makes us adults tonto… but it is this concept of mixing 2 or more things together… movies, books… etc… to form new things… it takes multitasking to another dimension…. With original meaning, new meanings…I have chosen a video to show you to present this concept…Photo: http://changeblog.batteries-company.com/the-difference-between-change-and-growth/

Horizon 2013 The workforce demands skills from college graduates that are more often acquired from informal learning experiences than in universities. Informal learning generally refers to any learning that takes place outside of a formal school setting, but a more practical definition may be learning that is self-directed and aligns with the student’s own personal learning goals. Employers have specific expectations for new hires, including communication and critical thinking skills — talents that are often acquired or enhanced through informal learning. Online or other modern environments are trying to leverage both formal and informal learning experiences by giving students traditional assignments, such as textbook readings and paper writing, in addition to allowing for more openended,unstructured
Massive open online courses are attempts to create open-access online courses that provide no constraints on class size. They run over a defined period of time and are open to all. The early instantiations followed a pattern of ‘let’s put on a course here, right now’. More recent offerings take the form of free courses based on existing university teaching materials freely available online, with computer marked assessment and certificates of completion. Some courses have engaged over one hundred thousand participants.Horizon 2013 ‘ Led by the successful early experiments of world-class institutions (like MIT and Stanford), MOOCs have captured the imaginationof senior administrators and trustees like few othereducational innovations have. High profile offerings are being assembled under the banner of institutional efforts like edX, and large-scale collaborations like Coursera and the Code Academy. As the ideas evolve, MOOCs are increasingly seen as a very intriguing alternative to credit-based instruction. The prospect of a single course achieving enrollments in the tens of thousands is bringing serious conversations on topics like micro-credit to the highest levels of institutional leadership’ .Students encouraged to create their own content, present it to their peers and defend it against criticism – developing critical thinking.ConteúdogratuitoQuestiona o uso da sala de aula paratransferência de conteúdoapenasIncorporamultimidiaparataltransferência e o respeitoaoritmo de aprendizagem individualOsprofessorespodemacompanhar o que o aluno fezhttps://www.khanacademy.org/Personal learning environmenthttp://blog.absorblms.com/2012/11/13/the-role-of-a-learning-management-system-in-a-world-awash-in-learning-content/
