• Increasingly the LMS is becoming more porous
• Institutions looking at the VLE
• Greater use of LTI – embedding 3rd party technologies
• Alignment with social media and the sharing of content
• Staff and students can’t be left to fend for themselves

• You might think this means it’s all about the student
• You’d be right
• Plotting the journey – understanding the touchpoints
• Engaging them in the first three weeks, etc.
• Chunking content
• The human voice
• Still need to read, but don’t regurgitate
• Video content short and sharp
PAGE 4
• The #1 thing students want is consistency
• Students don’t want to have to relearn
where to find things in each course
• Apply some form of standard to you sites:
ACODE Standards or QM
• Analytics can help
• Decisions based on data not just on gut
• Adaptive learning pathways
• Conditional activities

• Augmented Reality vs. Virtual Reality vs. Mixed Reality
• Hololens vs Oculus Rift vs Google Glass vs + + +
• An end-user focus and low cost will drive uptake
• Publishers will start to step-up to the mark
• As we get smarter with analytics AI can be applied
• Adaptive learning software, virtual avatars, chatbots, etc.
leveraging basic AI algorithms to personalise learning and
deliver content

• Once we can align assessment to outcomes…
• We can break learning into chunks to credential
• We align this with Professional Learning Profiles
• A credentialing engine and backpack (can be the LMS)
• Unbundle the components allowing them to be repurposed
in unique and compelling ways
• Align with blockchain technologies & Bob’s your uncle
• We can learn from the MOOC

• As academic we are all legends in our own lunchbox
• (Not) but we do know good stuff when we see it
• So its also about thought syndication
• One of the things that is growing real fast is WIL
• Partnerships with industries
• Not just about Uni’s getting students ready for work it’s
about industries working with Uni to get what they need
• So how will the AFP work with its students?
