As technology evolves so will LMS, there are trends that I feel will be here for the long term. I wish augmented reality would have the most impact because I think it is really amazing, but I think the trend that will impact digital learning the most is personalization/adaptive delivery. Gone are the days in the traditional classroom where there is a model that fits all learners.  Technology is revolutionizing the way traditional teachers meet learners’ needs, and I feel that the online learning environment is becoming more personalized.

I think LMS will have learning style surveys. They will give the learners choices on how they want to learn whether it is watching a video, reading and article, or researching information. In addition, they will have choice on the products they complete. The teacher will have the opportunity to give the students’ direct instruction and coaching when needed. The students will have opportunity to co-plan their learning, set goals and reflect. The strategies the instructors will use will be varied to meet learning styles. The pace of the course will be flexible. Mastery-based assessment will be used with frequent feedback, rubrics and checklists to drive assessments and clear expectations set for students to be successful.


After reviewing several LMS, I can see that many of the systems are starting to adapt to be more personalized. I feel that this will help learners be more successful and learners will grow at their own pace.
