1. Exploring Emerging Technologies for Lifelong Learning and Success
This learning opportunity is an open-access resource for lifelong learning. The aim is to identify the value and implications of using established and emerging technology tools for personal and professional growth and acquire strategies to develop lifelong learning habits to keep pace with technology change. This course is targeted to the needs of ALL learners, including college students, faculty, current and career-seeking professionals, and anyone from across the globe with a desire to learn how to use emerging technologies to succeed in today’s rapidly changing world. This project consists of two associated parts; #EmTechMOOC and EmTechWIKI. #EmTechMOOC is a Massive Open Online Course, also called a MOOC. The MOOC is hosted on the Coursera platform and provides a supportive environment for dialogue and sharing among participants. The MOOC course environment is structured around 5 modules. The concepts that are covered include Lifelong Learning and the 4Cs of 21st-century skills: Communication and Collaboration, Creativity, and Critical Thinking. Participants create digital artifacts through Discovery Exercises within the modules to showcase their learning and accomplishments. The final module encourages learners to summarize and reflect on their learning journey. EmTechWIKI ( http://suny.edu/emtech ) has been built to complement the MOOC. It is a socially-curated discovery engine to discover tools, tutorials, and resources such as audio, video, blogs, social networking, simulations, and more. The WIKI can be used as a stand-alone resource, or it can be used together with #EmTechMOOC. Anyone is welcome to add or edit WIKI resources. #EmTechMOOC is not a traditional MOOC. Instead of providing content-heavy information, this course guides participants through discovery-based learning that is under the control of the learner. Learners are prompted to locate and explore new resources and tools from the growing EmTechWIKI collection and the Internet to help meet their personally identified objectives. Participants reflect on and share their learning and discoveries through the creation of a public ePortfolio or a personal learning journal that is constructed through the module exercises. Complete the course requirements to earn a Coursera Certificate of Completion and a digital badge. SUNY affiliates may earn badges and a Coursera Certificate with no fees to enroll...

3. Design The Future: UX Design For Emerging Technologies
If you've spent any time at all reading technology blogs, you've seen a lot of talk about new technologies like virtual reality, augmented reality, internet of things, 3D printing, Robotics, AI and many, many others. Meanwhile, you're sitting at your desk designing screenshots for laptops and mobile phones, and wondering, "Where does UX fit into al of this? Will I have a job in 5-10 years?"And if you're not asking yourself that, well, you should, because all of the top designers from Google, Apple, Facebook and some of the top design agencies in the world all agree that UX Design as a job title will die over the next couple of years. In part because UX Design has started to mean everything and nothing at the same time, and in part because the form factors that UX designers design for will no longer exist in a few years. So if you want to stay ahead of the game, you need to adapt now, or the market will make you obsolete. And that's what this course is about. This course gives you a comprehensive overview of all of the emerging technologies that will be relevant for UX designers in the future and teaches you the overarching principles of designing for these technologies. In order to accomplish this, we start broad and narrow it down as the course progresses. We first take a 30.000 foot view of how we got to this point. We look at the big technological cycles since the first industrial revolution, to give you context and make clear that we are now at the cusp of another big change in how society relates to technology. We then go down to the 10.000 foot view to give you an overview of all the emerging technologies that will be relevant to UX designers over the next 10 years. And finally, we go to the ground level explaining the big-picture principles of designing for new technologies. As we progress to this course we will be working our way through a worksheet with exercises and additional information, in order for you to put it all together and deepen your understanding of this subject matter. As for why you should listen to me, well, I'm a top-rated design instructor currently located in Silicon Valley, with over 10 years of experience working for some of the top brands in the world. I'm super excited to bring you these new concepts and about all of the things you will learn that will transform your outlook on the future of UX design, so let's get started...
