From learninganalytics tools providing students with instant feedback on their work to virtual reality facilitating field trips to faraway lands to 3D printers filling makerspaces, the classroom looks quite a bit different than it did just five years ago. LearningAnalytics Tools Provide Real-Time Feedback.
Your most recent episode was about learninganalytics , and listening to it reminded me that the focus of edtech folks these days is less about the tools being used and more about finding ways to improve student retention and learning. That means seeing analytics as a [supplement] to the human connection.
In fact, the experiment at the Michigan public college could be said to mark a new generation in an area known as “ learninganalytics.” Seth Brott, a sophomore at Ferris State University majoring in information security, plans to give his robot classmates a warm welcome. How can we make that experience better for students?”
I also expect to see a lot more robotics and makerspaces in schools. I think school leaders now realise that the jobs of the future are being replaced by robots and if we’re not teaching kids how to build, programme and control robots to do the things we do then they’re not going to have a great future.

Rise of the robots Siemens has both an academic and an industry perspective on digital learning.
The end of the report is stuffed with tantalizing promise about how future learners will engage with robots, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and wearable tech (think data-collecting headbands, and skill-tracking sensors) that could explode into classrooms in as little as four to five years. Sometimes the panelists get it right.
Personalized Learning Pathways: Hybrid learning often incorporates personalized learning approaches, where students have some control over the pace and path of their learning, supported by technology that adapts to individual needs.
