For the annual eLearn Mag predictions, this year I wrote: I think we’ll see some important, but subtle, trends. Deeper uses of technology are going to surface: more data-driven interactions, complemented by both more structured content and more semantics. These trends are precursors to some very interesting nascent capabilities, essentially web 3.0: system-generated content.

I’d like to propose that 2011 be about reciprocity. In 2011, as new technologies, bells, whistles and gadgets come to market, we need not analyze solely their technological marvel and comparison, rather, we should adjudicate how it can help the capabilities of a team, a group, a class, or an organization to mutually gain from the experience of sharing, learning and giving with one another. My 2011 is going to start first with a simple term known as ‘reciprocity’.

I was asked to make some predictions for 2011 but missed the deadline. The big idea that is catching on and may take shape in 2011 is the integration of organizational support. Perhaps in 2011 these departments will wake up and start talking to other. Instead of predictions, I think there are some trends that may cross the chasm this year. This follows on a post I wrote a year ago that included this table: (2009). Innovators. Early Adopters. Crossing the Chasm. Technology.
