15 World Future Society Top 10 breakthroughs transforming life over the next years Best forecast data ever assembled 1. Alternative energy 2. Desalination of water 3. Precision farming 4. Biometrics 5. Quantum computers 6. Entertainment on demand 7. Global access 8. Virtual education or distance learning 9. Nanotechnology 10. Smart Robots
16 Survey Findings Almost 60 percent of the surveyed countries reported government funding for blended or online programs at the primary and secondary levels. China s first online school was created in 1996; today it has expanded to more than 200 online schools with enrollments exceeding 600,000 students. Seventy-two percent of the surveyed countries reported that their online and blended classroom teachers participated in professional development for online teaching. Universities and colleges were reported as the primary source of training for educators, followed by regional centers and local schools.
17 Survey Findings In British Columbia, online schools provide complete programs or individual courses to 71,000 students, which is about 12% of the student population. In 2010, Hong Kong enacted a policy recommendation for digital learning that de-bundled textbooks and teaching materials to make them more affordable and accessible to schools, and accelerated the development of an online depository of curriculum-based learning and teaching resources. A pilot scheme later resulted in a program made available to all 410,000 primary and secondary students in 300,000 low-income families especially the 8 percent without Internet access at home to gain access to the Internet for the purpose of learning.
