The changes of the next 5 years will be dramatic. Existing and age-old paradigms on education must change and the monolithic approach to how education is "batch" delivered will have to embrace Lean and Agile principles and methods. The only thing holding us back are the institutions and mindsets struggling to hold onto the comfortable, familiar past and present, and fearful of what the "undiscovered country" may look like - and their place or role in it, if at all.
AI is changing how we learn. Personalized tutoring and more brilliant corporate training can open up many new opportunities. Finding the right balance between AI and human input will be key.
