Five Trends in E-Learning

Based on – Telmap project on trend forecasting– Weak signals analysis, future search conferences,

expert workshops– Personal observations

Current and future trends, – Time horizon: immediate future (0-3 years), near future

(3-5 years)

Trend Summary– Mobility and globalization– Contextualization and personalization– Collaboration, social media– New devices and channels– Future technologies: internet of things, augmented

reality

Page 8: e-learning_futures_pawlowski

Trend 1: Higher Education, Mobility, Skills

Individual learning opportunities will increase Global competences need to be taken into account Multi-language, multi-cultural courses necessary

Students job market entry age decreases (less experience, less language skills)

The world is not flat: more global competences needed, less opportunities due to time pressure

More individual responsibility for employability and competitiveness

Page 9: e-learning_futures_pawlowski

Trend 2: How we learn…Contextualized learning: in the workplace, on business trips, in social settings

Personalized learning: combining tools and learning opportunities

Provide add-on tools Consider scenarios of personalization (media,

devices, tools & services)

Page 10: e-learning_futures_pawlowski

Trend 3: Tools and ScenariosMassive amount of contents are openly available (OER)

Collaborative teaching becomes popular or at least unavoidable

Social software increases collaboration

Consider open models – focus on consulting, tutoring and certification

Utilize social networks Create alliances for teaching and learning

Page 11: e-learning_futures_pawlowski

Trend 4: DevicesMobile devices have reached the critical mass of users

Tablets and smart-phones as learning devices

Apps as learning channels

Consider mobile scenarios Utilize opportunities of new input possibilities Broaden channels: e-books, apps, …

Page 12: e-learning_futures_pawlowski

Trend 5: Future technologiesInternet of things: smart objects → teaching objects

Location based services: learning all over with fellow learners

Augmented reality: embedding reality and learning services

Tele-presence: new conferencing and tutoring

Consider further personalization and location based services

Prepare for new tutoring tools

Page 13: e-learning_futures_pawlowski

Summary

We need to prepare the next generation of learning systems

Don’t wait until technologies are mature – develop didactic approaches incorporating leading edge technologies. NOW!

Combine domain-competences with general competences – they don’t add up!

Create strategic alliances around the globe to reach new target groups and markets
