The resource that I would like to share with the cohort is an article I found before I decided to apply for the DipLat program. In fact, it was one of the reasons that solidified my interest in exploring this field more, and have since been using this resource throughout my studies and while at work. The article is a detailed report called the Disruption of Digital Learning. The Disruption of Digital Learning _Bersin (3)
This report was conducted by Josh Bersin for Deloitte. It outlines all of the key trends within corporate learning and particularly highlights the past ten years. In this course, we spent time studying the history of learning technology and how that can influence the future. The trends clearly outlined in this report examine what the traditional way of learning was, and shows concrete examples of new and enhanced learning technologies (Bersin, 2017). For example, the report outlines how the traditional learning management system technique is now a baseline system for online learning. Bersin (2017) explores microlearning platforms, program experience platforms, content libraries and delivery tools as the future of educational technology and provides valid suggestions in these areas, making this a resource for myself and my team when exploring new opportunities and vendors to work with. This report can be used in a corporate setting to highlight key trends happening in the industry, the clarity and delivery of the information is helpful when proposing new partnerships and directional changes to an executive group. The most important piece of information from this report (that I have personally used in numerous presentations) is the “Understanding Macrolearning versus Microlearning” (p.9) chart. This visual aid help demonstrate the change in content delivery, giving you a better tool to articulate the foundations of learning and technology and how it’s changed.
