Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

The four over-riding trends, as identiifed by Holon's Maria Spies:

  • collapsing learning-work boundaries
  • new ways of engaging with a global cohort of learners
  • microcredentials, nano-degrees, digital badges and a revival of competency-based education.
  • technology-led personalized education

Now while I think that these four storylines capture the bulk of what we're reading in the education business press, I don't think that any of them is particularly relevant as a predictor, and the latter three might actually be active forms of misdirection.
