* Educators teaching online are constantly faced with technology choices. Which technologies are open, and which are closed? What are the implications of ''open'' or ''closed'' for access and participation - today, and in the long-run? Starting with a discussion of technologies relevant for all web-based education (JavaScript, CSS, etc.) we will unpack some of the bigger issues connected to the choice of technology. | * Educators teaching online are constantly faced with technology choices.

* We will speak about some familiar applications and what technologies they are based on. Things like email services, learning management systems, social networking sites.

* We start with new and open technologies that are just on the horizon, focusing on those that fill gaps in the current open environment. Some of them increase performance, other expand what is possible on the web. These technologies let us do things we can't do today. From there we'll extrapolate to some of the applications that such new technologies and enhanced old technologies enable -- both applications that currently exist in prototype or early-stage deployment, as well as some informed speculation of what could be possible. | |||
