The primary trends identified by the team were: adaptivelearning, open education resources (OER), gamification and game-based learning, MOOCs, LMS and interoperability, mobile devices, and design. Delivering these models to a differentiated population of educators and learners requires an adaptive approach.
Restaurants have rapidly shifted to online and mobile ordering, and are speeding up the deployment of digital kiosks that replace human workers. It seems certain that more professional learning will happen outside of traditional institutions and campuses – especially if colleges fail to adapt.
Designing online learning experiences is essential to training employees, mobilizing customers, serving students, building marketing channels, and sustaining business models. As online course platforms proliferate, institutions of all shapes and sizes realize that they’ll need to translate content into digital forms.
But how do they compete with resources like MOOCs and OERs that have made high quality course content from respected university professors available for free? When students started migrating towards used textbooks, rentals, MOOCs and OER due to the high prices of printed textbooks, it affected the revenues of traditional book publishers.

The cost of starting a company has gone down because there are online tools you can use for free. I can see that happening with school.
People can now work through a series of lectures while they commute or complete coursework on a mobile phone between shifts. It’s worth reexamining how we’re recreating these educational walled gardens online—as we move from the heyday of MOOCs in 2012 to the gradual decline of open access courseware in 2017.

In 2013, on the heels of “the Year of the MOOC,” Barber released a report titled “An Avalanche is Coming,” calling for the “unbundling” of higher education.
