of world economy and advancement in

5. 1. AN EMPHASIS ON REAL- WORLD AND
CONTINUING EDUCATION
Colleges and universities have long-
standing reputation for being
institutions of academic learning, but
as demand increases for more hands-
on educational options, they are
offering courses, degrees and certificate
programs that provide students with
practical and real- world experience.

6. 2. Technology and the internet
are vital
 A key that technology is making waves in
education is through mobile learning and
nearly 50% of educational organizations
have adopted the use of mobile devices (such
as smartphones and tablets) to improve the
in-class experience and increase
collaboration among students and educators
outside the classroom.

7. 3. Students expect learning to be fun
AND ENGAGING
 Similarly, everyday technology is also
changing student expectations in the
classroom, and this means more educators
are turning to things like video and
gamification (turning coursework into a
game that can include elements like play,
points, and levels) to engage students and
make the learning process more exciting.

8. 4. DISTANCE STUDIES AND
ONLINE COURSES
 The integration of technology in the
classroom has also made it easier than ever
for students to get an education through
distance learning and online courses, and
the number of students pursuing these
options continues to grow as technology
improves and colleges offer more
professional degrees through this medium.

9. 5. LOOKING ABROAD TO LEARN
 Even as more students turn to the internet
and technology to gain an education
through online and distance studies, a
growing number are also exploring study
abroad options instead of staying in their
hometown, state or even country.

10. 6. STUDENTS ARE EXPLORING NEW
COUNTRIES FOR HIGHER LEARNING
 While the number of students pursuing study abroad
options continues to grow, the students aren’t necessarily
flocking with this type of education pursuit.

11. 7. employment opportunities are
becoming increasingly important
 Tuition isn’t cheap, and it seems to be getting more
expensive by the minute. That being said, higher
education is critical for success in today’s world,
which is why there are still so many students out
there pursuing options for advanced learning.
