Today I was tasked with providing insight on my 2015 Education Industry Predictions. Like many industries the field of education is constantly evolving especially now due to the implementation of Common Core. So here are my predictions for 2015:
Tutoring and Child Education
- This would include private tutoring and private child care programs that have an educational component.
- Expected to exceed $100 billion by 2017
- Needed more today due to the implementation of Common Core which is a system that most parents do not understand so their ability to assist their children has almost diminished.
- Online education will accelerate
- As factories and other businesses which did not require a degree start to close and/or move overseas we will see an increase in the adult learner population
- Students will continue to become self-directed learners meaning they will focus on finding ways in which what they are learning relates to their everyday lives and the fields that they are preparing for.
- Social media will increasingly become a part teaching and a learning tool.
- Is the use of electronic educational technology in learning and teaching.
- Includes online tutoring services, online degree programs, and online training courses.
- Expected to exceed $107 billion in 2015
- Flipped Classroom - The flipped classroom essentially allows the student to learn at home and do their homework in class.
- Social Learning: This is based on the idea that students can benefit by studying together and sharing ideas. It encourages the use of social platforms to achieve a common goal.
- Instead of having textbooks students are using tablets to download textbooks.
