The other day I had posted some ideas in regards to how artificial intelligence, machine learning, and augmented reality are coming together to offer some wonderful new possibilities for learning (see: “From DSC: Amazing possibilities coming together w/ augmented reality used in conjunction w/ machine learning! For example, consider these ideas.”) Here is one of the graphics from that posting:
These affordances are just now starting to be uncovered as machines are increasingly able to ascertain patterns, things, objects…even people (which calls for a separate posting at some point).
But mainly, for today, I wanted to highlight an excellent comment/reply from Nikos Andriotis @ Talent LMS who gave me permission to highlight his solid reflections and ideas:

Excellent reflection/idea Nikos — that would represent some serious personalized, customized learning!
Nikos’ innovative reflections also made me think about his ideas in light of their interaction or impact with web-based learner profiles, credentialing, badging, and lifelong learning. What’s especially noteworthy here is that the innovations (that impact learning) continue to occur mainly in the online and blended learning spaces.
How might the ramifications of these innovations impact institutions who are pretty much doing face-to-face only (in terms of their course delivery mechanisms and pedagogies)?
Given:
- That Microsoft purchased LinkedIn and can amass a database of skills and open jobs (playing a cloud-based matchmaker)
- Everyday microlearning is key to staying relevant (RSS feeds and tapping into “streams of content” are important here, and so is the use of Twitter)
- 65% of today’s students will be doing jobs that don’t even exist yet (per Microsoft & The Future Laboratory in 2016)
- The exponential pace of technological change
- The increasing level of experimentation with blockchain (credentialing)
- …and more
…what do the futures look like for those colleges and universities that operate only in the face-to-face space and who are not innovating enough?
Thank you sir, I’m pleased to have been able to inspire someone.

And an immediate ad vocem – I’m professionally interested in corporate eLearning environment, but I’m observing closely what’s going on in terms of universities turning to eLearning and happens with “human factor”, as I consider it (for corporate solutions as well) as crucial for unlocking learners’ motivation.
Thanks for letting me share this idea Nikos. I put a new graphic together to better highlight your comments/ideas. See: http://danielschristian.com/learning-ecosystems/2016/10/24/excellent-reflectionidea-from-nikos-andriotis-meta-machine-learning-i-e-a-self-learning-lms/
