Enrolling in a paid online course can be a hard decision to make. Before typing in your card number and make an impulsive buy — there are millions of courses out there worth of your time and money — here are a few things to know before paying for online courses.
The educational system needs to be restructured. The use of gamification in education is a step away from the old ways of doing things, and brings education closer to the future. Gamifying the entire educational system might be the best solution for it to become again highly effective, and respond to the current and future needs of students.

Will AI replace teachers? This was the subject at a plenary debate at the OEB conference just last December. What arguments would the four expert speakers bring to the table?

Students of all ages are very receptive to AR apps for education, and this doesn’t happen just because it is cool, but mostly because it creates immersive learning situations for them.
I think that the learning process should be tailored to each individual, according to their needs and capabilities. Adaptive learning is the ultimate level of personalized instruction. In this type of learning, every answer provided and every action taken by the student is tracked, stored and analyzed. The returning result is a constantly adapting personalized learning path.
Here are seven e-learning trends that will shape up strategies of educational institutions in 2017: gamification, personalized learning, bite-sized learning, video-based learning, adaptive learning, peer to peer assessment, official degrees for online courses. What would you add to this list?
