Lifelong Learning Through Online Learning
In today's rapidly evolving world, lifelong learning through online platforms is essential. Learning needs to be a daily activity that seamlessly integrates with people’s work and lives. Here are my thoughts on the present and future of continuing education, e-learning, and educational technologies.
Envisioning the Future of Lifelong Learning
Here are key aspects of my vision for the future of online adult education. While some of these ideas are already in development, others are just beginning, and I want to help bring them to fruition.
Personalized and Adaptive
Powered by Artificial Intelligence, continuing professional education will be personalized and adaptive.
Global Knowledge Exchange
Global peer-to-peer knowledge exchange will connect experts directly to learners. Economic and language barriers will be lowered thanks to AI.
Skill Portfolios
Learners will build skill portfolios based on their career and life goals. They will collect credentials from a broad range of global experts.
Inclusivity
The learning environment will include the broadest range of learners, no matter their location, background, or socio-economic status.
Self-Direction
Learners will be self-directed in their self-paced learning. They won't be "consumers" of education but builders of their own learning paths.
Daily Microlearning
Instead of being an occasional and separate activity, learning will be part of a daily routine integrated into other aspects of people's lives.
