According to a research study, “IoT in Education Market” by MarketsandMarkets, the global market size is expected to “grow from $4.8 billion in 2018 to $11.3 billion by 2023.”

Personalized Learning One of the biggest hurdles with the typical education system is the lack of flexibility in the course work. The course is the same for each and every student. The human-to-human interaction in a classroom space is collective and does not take into account the individual pace and needs of the student. Building on the idea of Big Data collection, with IoT each student can be evaluated and monitored on an individual basis. Weaker students may be granted a modified course work that caters to them individually to bring them up to speed. On top of that, the aggregate data can guide the instructors to modify the coursework on the go depending on the collective class needs.

More Human-to-Machine Interaction

The screen was made possible by its OLED, or organic light emitting diode, technology, which allows it to be lighter, thinner and more flexible than standard LCD screens.

The benefits of this technology are that eventually, bendable TVs, tablets and smartphones will be much easier to transport and a lot less likely to sustain damage.

Research shows that by the end of the year, the majority of organizations will be using video as part of their digital training strategy. Video caters to many types of learners and is engaging, memorable and fun. It’s also increasingly becoming a cost-effective way to deliver complex information in a short time. Video can be used effectively in several different areas: Description Demonstration Documentary Dramatization

So how can you incorporate video into your elearning courses? Here are a few simple ideas.

Les 5 bonnes raisons de favoriser la formation interne Qu’un formateur-animateur soit un collaborateur de l’entreprise comporte, en soi, plusieurs bienfaits : on valorise ce collaborateur en sollicitant son expertise, à l’instar de Swisslife qui encourage ses seniors, deux ans avant leur départ à la retraite à devenir formateurs internes ; on capitalise sur les savoirs des collaborateurs en formalisant les connaissances informelles de par la nécessité de produire des supports pédagogiques. On développe ainsi le « knowledge management » de l’organisation ; on réduit le coût de la formation sans diminuer la qualité de la prestation ; en arguant qu’un collaborateur est le mieux placé pour dispenser la formation, on œuvre pour la culture d’entreprise et on renforce la marque employeur. Il se crée ainsi une synergie au sein d’une bulle où seuls des éléments de l’entreprise sont en relation, permettant ainsi la construction d’un lien social, contrairement à une formation traditionnelle où se croisent des collaborateurs d’horizons différents* ; on offre une formation très adaptée au contexte de l’entreprise et à ses besoins spécifiques où l’on couvre des besoins de formation que les organismes ne dispensent pas tout en disposant d’une souplesse de planning.

Could it be possible that the medium we choose be more important to improve knowledge transfer than our beloved content that we can’t get under 30 slides? The answer is YES. As Marshall McLuhan, the great Media Philosopher, said in 1964: “The Medium is the Message.” Simply put, the medium in which you deploy content to your people is more important than the content. It’s actually crazy to think about! But let’s not get too caught up philosophizing and get to the point. Since the medium can make or break your training, which medium should you choose? The answer is VIDEO. Here are the top 3 reasons to support this claim:

Alignment.  75% of Millennials visit YouTube monthly. Millennials coincidentally are going to make up 75% of the workforce by 2025

Retention and Transfer of Knowledge.  Video is the most effective medium for communicating information in a short period of time. Most people are visual learners, so combining visual examples with audio creates a higher likelihood of knowledge transfer. Studies show that humans only retain 10% of heard information after 3 days Vs 65% when visuals are added.

Il n’a fallu que quelques années et la démocratisation des forfaits de données mobiles pour que la vidéo s’impose. Les internautes en sont très friands. Toute organisation qui souhaite de la visibilité, que ce soit une entreprise ou un établissement d’enseignement, se doit de produire des vidéos.

Contrairement au monde de l'impression à plat, la vidéo fournit une palette dynamique et multidimensionnelle : mouvement, point de vue, effets sonores, musique, personnage, dialogue et narration. La vidéo optimise l'apprentissage, elle fait travailler simultanément les deux hémisphères du cerveau. Le cerveau gauche est plus verbal, analytique et ordonné que le cerveau droit. Il est utilisé pour des tâches comme la lecture, l'écriture et les calculs. Le cerveau gauche est logique. Le cerveau droit est plus visuel et intuitif. Il a un mode de pensée plus créatif et moins organisé.

Les vidéos, les audios et les webinaires aident à apprendre ou comprendre une méthodologie ou un concept. Cet auto-apprentissage laisse un impact puissant sur le cerveau.

At a recent Excellence in Teaching award luncheon at the University of California, Santa Cruz, a conversation turned to lecture capture and revealed unexpected impacts.

the students requested he add lecture capture recordings. He agreed. Audio recordings and a data feed were made available on demand so that students could access the lecture materials for review. Brummell's intent was to offer the lecture capture materials as supplements to the classroom experience.

Brummell pointed out that using the cameras has drawbacks. "This means you sit down at the camera," he said. "I don't like that. I prefer to be up and active. With lots of students in the class, you can't really pick out specific students very easily, and no one wants to ask questions." After a few lectures, Brummell noticed that a sizeable number of students had stopped coming to class, presumably because they preferred to listen to the recordings. With the class scheduled in a large auditorium, the students who came to class tended to sit closer to the front of the room and nearer to the professor. While the use of the document cameras forced him to remain anchored to a specific location in the classroom, Brummell noted that because the students were closer, he could look up and talk directly to them. "I started getting to know a few names and faces, especially the students who got there early like me," he said. "I chatted with some of them on a regular basis."
