Look for badges capturing in and out of school learning that stack into college credit.<\/li>\n<li>More schools, like\u00a0Purdue Polytech, will embrace project-based learning and competency-based progressions with support from\u00a0XQ,\u00a0NGLC funds, and\u00a0NewSchools Venture Fund.<\/li>\n<li>More platform partnerships where districts\/networks are working in development cycles with platform providers (e.g.\u00a0Brooklyn LAB\u00a0and Cortex, Purdue Polytech and Course Networking,\u00a0Lindsay USD\u00a0and Empower).<\/li>\n<li>More\u00a0artificial intelligence\u00a0is showing up in learning platforms improving personalization, formative feedback, and student scheduling.<\/li>\n<li>More demand for interoperability will be evident as a result of efforts like\u00a0Project Unicorn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s going to be a good new year. Find a couch or pull up a bar stool\u2013your choice.
