Someone suggested I look again at the National Education Technology Report released January, 2005. The title is Toward a New Golden Age in Education.
The chapter Move Toward Digital Content outlines parameters of high priority education software for ISVs and ASP entrepreneurs.
A move away from reliance on (hardcopy) textbooks to the use of multimedia or online information (digital content)offers many advantages, including cost savings, increased efficiency, improved accessibility, and enhancing learning opportunities in a format that engages today’s web-savvy students.
The report includes these recommendations to states and local districts:
Encourage ubiquitous access to computers and connectivity for each student.
Consider the costs and benefits of online content, aligned with rigorous state academic standards, as part of a systemic approach to creating resources for students to customize learning to their individual needs. (Bold added.)
Education ISVs are ahead of the curve. Choose your wave carefully. There’s much good fodder here for preparing your work and marketing agendas.
