Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Analysis on Emerging Technologies

Assignment Scenario:

You will be using this scenario as the guide for your assignments in this class for the quarter.

Assume that your supervisor has appointed you to lead a committee tasked with providing a research-based proposal for integrating emerging technologies into an educational need for your organization (i.e. K12, higher education, corporate or military training). You will develop the proposal in stages, which will culminate in a final project that is due in Week 10. Keep in mind that the proposal must be focused on education or training with an emphasis on new technologies. You will need to include a sample outline of how these technologies will be applied in your institution.

Using the list provided here, you must propose the integration of at least two (2) emerging technologies into the educational need you have selected for your organization. You are welcome to select two (2) from this list or select one (1) from here and research one (1) additional technology of your choosing. The two technologies combined must help to support your learning goals and create an engaging environment for your learners.
