The state of Instructional Design 2024: A field on the brink of disruption?

The state of Instructional Design 2024: A field on the brink of disruption? | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

The 2024 State of Instructional Design Survey reveals a window into an industry and profession which is potentially on the brink of disruption and transformation.

The disruption of an industry typically occurs when three conditions align:

Democratization of previously specialized skills The emergence of new enabling technologies Growing frustration with status quo tools and processes

We've seen this pattern before, e.g. when website builders like Squarespace disrupted web design and when tools like Canva disrupted graphic design.

In each case, frustrations with slow, inefficient and unscalable processes collided with the rise of new technologies which made specialized skills more accessible. The result? Skills were democratised and professionals evolved into consultants, strategists and architects of more complex solutions.

AI demands Human Creativity in our Education System

AI demands Human Creativity in our Education System | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

We still prioritize efficient knowledge delivery, a method of learning in which the teacher doles out answers to their student. With modern technology, however, anyone can have their question answered through a quick Google Search. In today’s classrooms, students no longer need knowledge acquisition but creativity and problem-solving skills training. These essential skills set us apart as humans and receive surprisingly little emphasis.

The Future of Instructional Design: 2024 survey insights | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

In September 2024, we surveyed over 400 instructional design professionals to gain deeper insights into the trends shaping the field.

Respondents came from a wide range of roles, with the majority being full-time instructional designers (33%), followed closely by subject matter experts (SME) who also design courses as part of their jobs (26%). Directors, Freelancers, Founders, and professionals in other roles, such as Learning & Development Managers, Learning Experience Designers (LXDs), and eLearning Developers, also contributed their perspectives.

AI Tutoring Outperforms Active Learning

"Here we report a randomized, controlled study measuring college students’ learning and their perceptions when content is presented through an AI-powered tutor compared with an active learning class. The AI tutor was developed with the same pedagogical best practices as the lectures. We find that students learn more than twice as much in less time when using an AI tutor, compared with the active learning class. They also feel more engaged and more motivated."

Decades before the computer revolution began to spread in earnest, science fiction’s most creative minds sketched out a future most of us never thought we’d see. And yet between self-driving cars and yes, even hoverboards, that future seems closer than ever.

Nowhere is this more of a reality than in the field of robotics. Sure, we may not each have our own robotic besties/slaves as the old sci fi shows predicted we’d have by now, but judging by the many creative ways robotics are used in so many classrooms today, well…We’re pretty close. Let’s take a look at some of the neatest and most inspiring ways Robot Education (RoboEd?) is unfolding today

The AI classroom is already here: Here's what’s coming next | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

The AI Classroom is already with us. It’s not about robot teachers, or VR headsets: instead, the AI classroom offers technologies that ‘upgrade’ flesh-and-blood teachers and make new educational experiences possible. The AI education market is forecast to grow at an incredible rate this decade, hitting $88.2 billion worldwide by 2030, all driven by technologies that create lesson plans, mark papers and track progress. But perhaps the most exciting application of AI technology in education is in upgrading the way lessons are taught, and the way children learn.

Jesús Sosa Delgado's curator insight, December 4, 2024 5:50 PM
A medida que las personas dependen de las plataformas virtuales, es crucial crear experiencias que vayan más allá de la transmisión de la información, buscando una conexión entre los contenidos, los objetivos y el mundo real. 

Tenemos que conseguir que los estudiantes se impliquen en su aprendizaje, sentirse motivados, desafiados y apoyados. Esto requiere de estrategias que integren prácticas, resolución de problemas del mundo real, aprendizaje colaborativo y herramientas interactivas que fomenten el pensamiento crítico. Si un estudiante ve la aplicación del conocimiento aprendido, su compromiso aumenta significativamente. 

Un aspecto importante es la equidad en el acceso a la educación en línea. Debe de ser inclusiva, ofreciendo oportunidades a todos los estudiantes. La educación en línea es una herramienta poderosa para democratizar el aprendizaje. Con dicha educación digital, se logra experiencias autenticas que ayudan los alumnos alcanzar sus metas. 

Los docentes, tenemos que usar plataformas digitales y contenidos centrados en ellos para optimizar la experiencia del estudiante.

Me ha parecido muy interesante este artículo, ya que es cierto que desde que se inició la pandemia el aprendizaje en línea se ha normalizado, cuando antes era algo más reducido a algunos sectores o a algunos cursos e instituciones. Pero, con el tiempo, nos dimos cuenta de sus grandes ventajas y comodidades. 
Sin embargo, no es fácil captar la atención del oyente detrás de una pantalla y, aún más, si no tiene la cámara conectada. Por lo tanto, creo que es muy necesario escuchar las estrategias que nos proporcionan para poder implementarlas como docentes.

Why Podcasts Succeeded in Gaining Influence Where MOOCs Failed

Why Podcasts Succeeded in Gaining Influence Where MOOCs Failed | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

"When MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) burst onto the education scene in the early 2010s, they were hailed as the future of learning. With the promise of democratizing education by providing free access to world-class courses from top universities.

Leading universities rushed to put their courses online, venture capital poured in, and platforms like Coursera and edX grew rapidly. Yet today, while MOOCs still exist, they’ve largely retreated to the margins of education. Meanwhile, long-form podcasts have emerged as a surprisingly powerful force in American intellectual life."
