But with most recordings being released via a virtual learning environment, access can be restricted to students doing a particular course in a particular year.

Lecture recordings are an excellent resource for international students grappling with concepts in another language and students with disabilities who may struggle to keep pace. Our students reported that it is nice to have more time to listen to what is being said without frantically trying to write it all down. Many lecture capture systems have ‘hot spot’ metrics that staff can use to discover which portions of a lecture have been reviewed repeatedly. This can indicate concepts that students are struggling with and can enable staff to modify their approach to that concept in future years or provide additional support as necessary. Lecture capture could be used for other applications such as student presentations, demonstrating procedures, providing recordings to support lecture flipping and more. The technology is well established, but our use and how we encourage our students to use it is not. This is an opportunity for innovation when developing our teaching.

C'est sans compter sur les simulateurs, les serious games et la réalité augmentée.

Idée reçue n°3 : Le digital learning est un gage de modernité

Il y a donc un risque réel de réaliser et de diffuser des modules de formation obsolètes bien qu'à la pointe technologique.

Idée reçue n°4 : Le digital learning est réservé à la jeune génération

48 % des achats en ligne sont effectués par des seniors. Et pour être plus proche de notre sujet, les ménagères de plus de cinquante ans ont très rapidement colonisé le site marmiton.org pour y créer la plus grande plateforme de social learning culinaire !

Idée reçue n°5 : Le digital learning se résume à une évolution technologique

Il ne suffit donc pas d'investir dans un Learning Management System (LMS) pour réussir la digitalisation de votre offre de formation.

Much of this investment is directed at tools to harness video, new mobile learning apps, and an explosion of content marketplaces. Today, any employee can browse through content from Coursera, Udemy, Udacity, or a dozen other providers and instantly access a lecture, course, or workshop on a needed skill. Such platforms offer learning opportunities at little or no cost and even allow employees to interact online with experts in the field—learning exactly what they need, when they need it, at a time that fits their schedules.

What about the students? Who are the people who end up taking these MOOCs?It's extremely diverse, the ones who end up paying for them, usually it's people like me who are out of the education system and looking for a promotion or a new job. There's an entire group of people where just one dollar is too much—they only want free. But, there's another group of people where if they are charged $900 or $1,200 bucks, it’s not a big difference (and they’ll pay either). And then if you know the outcome could be getting 5 percent or 10 percent increase in salary over a lifetime, [you realize] you recoup that money very quickly.

In the earliest days of MOOCs, which had large communities, [it was easier for students]. The community provided the support and the encouragement. Now, MOOCs are no longer massive. The community engagement is not there, so that makes it more difficult [for many students]. But community isn't really a feature that people sign up for. The reason people pay is the credential. So unfortunately community has fallen down the priority list of the designer of these products

The commission outlines a scenario in which artificial intelligence and virtual tutors help advise students about selecting courses, navigating difficult classes and finding the best career options.

A distributed presence around the world. Colleges and universities operate campuses and require students to come to them. In the past couple of decades, online education has grown substantially, but for the most part, higher education is still about face-to-face interactions. Georgia Tech imagines a future in which the two worlds are blended in what it calls the “atrium” — essentially storefronts that share space with entrepreneurs and become gathering places for students and alumni. In these spaces, visiting faculty might conduct master classes, online students could gather to complete project work or alumni might work on an invention.

Thus IoT has the potential to not only save time and physical resources, but also human resources all the while maintaining a better standard of teaching.

Financing Issues Financing is another hurdle. Government expenditure on Education is already stretched to its limit in most countries around the world. Plus, education isn’t really the sector that sees significant improvement in budget increase every fiscal year. It is general knowledge that education is kept on the back burner since it is not the topic that wins votes. Information Technology hardware can be expensive and IoT infrastructure can demands a lot of it. To implement IoT, either government or private investments may need to subsidize it.

Though there is no one-size-fits-all solution for audio capture, one- and two-channel systems are the norm for voice lift and lecture capture
