Trends in Digital Education
Keywords:
digital education, Learning Management System, educational continuumAbstract
One of the biggest trends in Learning Management System is gamification that engages users in solving problems. Open source allows for reduced set-up costs and easy customization of software. The social networks boom is based on the frequent use of e-portals and information sharing. Blended programs integrate various learning interventions such as classroom sessions, webinars, self-study, coaching, assessments, and social learning. The adaptive learning through a diagnostic, role selector, and other tools can ensure a targeted experience.
The growing number of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) is seen in the growing business interest of this kind of scientific activity. The open badge structure collaborates with MOOCs and permits achievement skills which may help with future careers and education. API (Application Programming Interface) integration is the allowance and processes to give programs access to connect and communicate with other programs. All the abovementioned technology immersed society needs tools for analyzing the increasing quantities of data to improve student learning and to enhance academic operation in more and more personalized learning.
