This article made me want to write an article along the lines of "6 tips for writing listicles" or "six dimensions of taxonomies for educators". Anyhow, here are the learning technology trends: humanisation, integration, personalisation, data capitalisation, decentralisation, and cultivation. So we can see that the idea here is to try to present technology in non-technological terms. Aren't these 'technology' trends? I mean, it's the same list we've seen dozens of times - UX, APIs, VR, analytics, blockchain, xAPI. But this time described with less reference to these technologies, and more with an eye to "why" these technologies are useful. Fair enough. But it's still a tech-led list, without (to my eye) a sense of why we need (say) data capitalisation.
