eLearning is Changing

According to Marc Rosenberg, author and expert. eLearning is evolving. He puts out 6

1. E-learning will become more than “e-training.”
2. E-learning will move to the workplace.
3. Blended learning will be redefined.
4. E-learning will be less course-centric and more knowledge-centric.
5. E-learning will adapt differently to different levels of mastery.
6. Technology will become a secondary issue.

I agree with him.

And on Item 2, for us less developed countries, may I add that it will become the great equalizer for education. eLearning is coming to the Rural Areas. The world is becoming flat and the playing field is continuously leveled.

On Item 6, with the rapid improvements in technology, this will cease to be an issue.

My personal take:

- eLearning will also lean towards developing different approaches for different learning styles and intelligences. One topic will have different version catering to the personality type of the learner.

- eLearning will take public education global - where countries pool their knowledge base and resources offered to all who want to have an education. Alliances of competing industries/companies will be formed to sahre this precious resource.

- The business model for eLearning will change. New avenues for revenue will replace the traditional content and system as the main source. Open-source will develop to a point that it become the de facto standard world wide.
