Also Analytics (I think Big Data is already in the last paragraph’s category). What’s waxing as opposed to waning? How about ‘ bots ? That’s the topic du jour! Often, as part of AI; as is Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and so on.

However, as you track outcomes, e.g. success on practice, and start looking at that by doing data analytics, you can start trolling for emergent patterns (again, made up). Which helps explain the growing interest in analytics. Here we might find confirmation (or the converse!)

For the longer term (4-5 years), the two concepts were gesture-based computing and learning analytics. For the medium term (2-3 years), he pointed to augmented reality and game-based learning (though only barely touching on deeply immersive simulations, which surprised me). A very engaging presentation.

The long term benefits will come from analytics, adaptivity, and contextualization. While I think that adaptivity is a ways away, I also believe that the initial efforts in getting more rigorous about content strategy, engineering, and governance are a worthwhile investment now.

This standard enables tracking and analytics beyond the course. And if not, there’s always the ADL to wield the ‘800 lb gorilla’ argument. Other initiatives include xAPI, sponsored by ADL to address gaps in SCORM. It’s no panacea, but it’s a systematic way to accomplish a very useful goal.

Infrastructure is really about the technical sophistication (which includes content models & semantics, but also tracking and analytics) and integration of elements to create a true ecosystem. I realize, as I review the chart for my upcoming strategy workshop at DevLearn, that I focused too narrowly.

It’s a consistent basis for big data and analytics. The big interesting opportunity, however, is to be able to start mining these. We can start looking at evidence of what folks did and finding good and bad outcomes.

While machine learning and analytics is one opportunity, there’s another, which is having people look at the data. . <Clark Quinn> <wrote> <a blog post>), systems can generate records across a wide variety of activity, creating a rich base of data to mine for contingencies that lead to success.

Here we’re talking investing in the underlying infrastructure to leverage the possibilities of analytics, semantics and more, and content architecture is a part of that. But the “greater integration” step is one that both yields immediate benefits, and sets the stage for some future opportunities.

I do weekly pop by Google Analytics to see what sort of traffic I get (pretty steady), but I haven’t tried to see what might improve it. I haven’t (yet) followed a formula to drive business traffic, and only occasionally mention my upcoming events (though hopefully that’s a public service :). This is, largely, for me.

This is not a shortcut, it’s deep in terms of the knowledge elicitation techniques, the analytical task, and the representation of results. When performance is critical, you really want to understand what the important elements are, whether to train them or provide support. A technique for doing that is Cognitive Task Analysis (CTA).

Fortunately, analytics is seeing a boon from the standardization around xAPI. Yet in each case, we’re still in the stage before standards emerge that will make a real market. AR and content strategy are still nascent, but there’s much potential. Looking forward, I see much opportunity, as implied by the gaps indicated above.

I have people that follow my blog; I know this from both statcounter and google analytics. My own experience is that blogging is not very social (even when I have asked for feedback). However, I have yet to really have "conversations" and feedback except from a few core people.

The ExperienceAPI coupled with analytics is a huge opportunity. I reckon there are two significant changes that have happened. One is rather subtle as yet, but will be profound, and that is the ability to track more activity, mine more data, and gain more insights. The other is the rise of social networks.

It’s an analytical tool, in my mind. You might be able to do course management with a spreadsheet and some elbow grease, or you can mimic video with a series of static shots (think: Ken Burns) and narration, but the purpose-designed tool is likely going to be better. There are tradeoffs. You should end up asking: what’s the DNA?
