I posted this Wiki as an additional source for market projections, because it has proven to be a valuable resource to my colleagues and I with respect to trends in e-Learning and technology. It brings an “on the ground perspective” through the open sharing of resources and perspectives that are included on the wiki. The membership tends to be higher level decision makers in campus technology as well as teaching and learning (and their teams) from universities across Ontario. In addition to the wiki, the membership meets in person twice a year to discuss current topics in technology and learning and, essentially “compare notes”. While it is clearly anchored in the Ontario Higher Ed context, the focal points of its ongoing projects may be of wider interest. Similarly, the Wiki’s general resources, along with the resources posted to each of the yearly institutes and meetings pages, provide insights that might appeal to the wider educational community.
