There's a lot to digest in this report published by the British Department for Education on online learning and artificial intelligence education (AIed) (102 page PDF). The authors appear relatively happy with the online learning market, but find weaknesses in the AIed market (that is, the application of AI to online learning products and services) suggesting that the demand (so far) is low and research investment is high. It's also hard for producers to differentiate themselves, since the benefits are hard to articulate. The best new markets appear to be in convincing employers to provide access to courses. They also recommend that online learning courses should include collaborative learning environments and tutor communication. This Jisc summary, meanwhile, highlights the recommendation that the government fund testbeds, and underlines the idea of the '4th industrial revolution'.
