The annual list of predictions in eLearning Magazine is out (it actually came out a couple weeks ago but I missed it) featuring the usual pundits. Though that said, I agree with Janet Clarey's observation that "predictions are what will likely happen…not what should happen." She predicts, "Aggregators, mobile support, and real-time collaboration will bring a new level of complexity to the increasingly distributed, knowledge-driven workplace." All true, and I think that technologically we are in a very interesting time. The major story of the year, though, in my view, will be the reduction of public funding to educational institutions, and the corresponding rush from the corporate sector to fill the gap. We will especially see some very interesting agreements (maybe even mergers) between content providers, technology companies, and education service providers.
