The next generation of learning
technologies isn't coming.
It's already here.
As technology evolves, so do our students. And as they explore and adapt, so too must the tools used to engage, educate, and inspire them.
Enter Next.IU, a two-year pilot program to discover what's next for teaching and learning technologies at Indiana University.
The Next trials do more than explore the latest trends. They investigate the tools and approaches that best support IU's pursuit of excellence in the classroom and beyond.
Currently, the trials are piloting Blackboard and Desire2Learn, with evaluations of other systems and tools to come in future semesters.
Are you ready to take the next step?
The history
The process
Trials will evaluate multiple open source and vendor-provided products
IU will conduct formal research and assessment of pilot outcomes
Software options will evolve based on feedback from faculty and students
IU will base platform selection on input from learning technology strategy teams
If you'd like to try a particular system or tool please let us know. We want to find approaches that a variety of people want to try.
Suggesting a system or tool does not mean it will be added to the trials. We will evaluate approaches that make sense for the university community as a whole.
