Blended learning, social media learning, micro learning and other forms of online learning: 12 things all in an hour
The document discusses emerging trends in online learning including blended learning, microlearning, and the increasing porosity of learning management systems. It notes that institutions are looking more at virtual learning environments and greater use of third-party technologies through LTI integration. Content is becoming more aligned with social media and sharing. Analytics can help make decisions based on data rather than assumptions and enable adaptive learning pathways. Augmented reality, virtual reality and mixed reality technologies will continue advancing and being applied to education. Artificial intelligence can also be used to personalize learning through adaptive software, virtual avatars and chatbots. Credentials may be broken into chunks that can be repurposed in unique ways and aligned with blockchain and professional learning profiles. Work-integrated

Blended learning, social media learning, micro learning and other forms of online learning: 12 things all in an hour
- 1. Blended learning, social media learning, micro learning and other forms of online learning: 12 things all in an hour Associate Professor Michael Sankey Director, Learning Transformations Western Sydney University November 2017
- 3. • Increasingly the LMS is becoming more porous • Institutions looking at the VLE • Greater use of LTI – embedding 3rd party technologies • Alignment with social media and the sharing of content • Staff and students can’t be left to fend for themselves PAGE 3
- 4. • You might think this means it’s all about the student • You’d be right • Plotting the journey – understanding the touchpoints • Engaging them in the first three weeks, etc. • Chunking content • The human voice • Still need to read, but don’t regurgitate • Video content short and sharp PAGE 4
- 5. • The #1 thing students want is consistency • Students don’t want to have to relearn where to find things in each course • Apply some form of standard to you sites: ACODE Standards or QM • Analytics can help • Decisions based on data not just on gut • Adaptive learning pathways • Conditional activities PAGE 5
- 6. • Augmented Reality vs. Virtual Reality vs. Mixed Reality • Hololens vs Oculus Rift vs Google Glass vs + + + • An end-user focus and low cost will drive uptake • Publishers will start to step-up to the mark • As we get smarter with analytics AI can be applied • Adaptive learning software, virtual avatars, chatbots, etc. leveraging basic AI algorithms to personalise learning and deliver content • Next-gen LMS PAGE 6 Artificial Intelligence Virtual & Augmented Reality
- 7. • Once we can align assessment to outcomes… • We can break learning into chunks to credential • We align this with Professional Learning Profiles • A credentialing engine and backpack (can be the LMS) • Unbundle the components allowing them to be repurposed in unique and compelling ways • Align with blockchain technologies & Bob’s your uncle • We can learn from the MOOC PAGE 7
- 8. • As academic we are all legends in our own lunchbox • (Not) but we do know good stuff when we see it • So its also about thought syndication • One of the things that is growing real fast is WIL • Partnerships with industries • Not just about Uni’s getting students ready for work it’s about industries working with Uni to get what they need • So how will the AFP work with its students?
