Welcome to the NITLE Prediction Markets. Here we use a market system to learn about emergent practices for higher education.

How it works: market stocks are predictions, hypotheses about unfolding events. Market traders (you!) assign value to them by buying and selling shares over time, playing the market based on what you learn about the world and your reflections. No real money is involved – only the currency of collaborative intelligence. Futures markets have been used for years to leverage distributed knowledge to better anticipate emergent events. Please sign up to participate! We also welcome your suggestions for new market topics.

NITLE (pronounced “nightly”) is a community-based, non-profit initiative that provides professional development events, technology services, and networking opportunities to undergraduate-centered institutions of higher education. We facilitate collaboration between participants in the NITLE Network and promote the strategic, effective adoption of digital technologies at the institutional and individual levels. In all our activities, we leverage the expertise inherent in our participant community and provide a forum and resources to enable the strategic understanding and effective adoption of digital technologies.

The colleges, universities, and non-profit educational organizations that participate with NITLE and use our programs and services share our commitment to creating rich learning environments that prepare students to contribute, adapt, and thrive. Bringing unique strengths to bear on a collaborative mission, these institutions are breaking new ground for undergraduate education.
