NITLE Prediction Markets

About
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.

The National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education (NITLE) helps liberal arts colleges integrate inquiry, pedagogy, and technology. With our members, NITLE works to enrich undergraduate education and strengthen the liberal arts tradition. Established in 2001, NITLE is the key organization for liberal arts colleges and universities seeking to engage students in the unique learning experience that liberal education provides and to use technology strategically to advance the liberal-arts mission.

NITLE works with a diverse community of liberal arts colleges and universities. This national network is focused on developing a deep understanding of the undergraduate student experience, the impact of the broader technological environment on teaching and learning, and the future of liberal education.
