Personal Learning in 2020

Following last year’s survey I showed that people were using digital tools to learn in 4 main ways that I called the 4 D’s of Learning (Didactics, Discovery, Discourse and Doing)

It still shows that individuals learn in all these 4 ways. DIY learning is still very important., but an analysis of the rankings shows that despite a couple of new online course platforms being added to the list, all the other platforms have dropped down a number of places down the list. In fact, the same goes for many web resources (particularly podcasts and players) although as has been seen YouTube is still pretty strong, Vimeo is up and Netflix (for documentaries) is new on the list together with Google Arts & Culture (for virtual visits).

Workplace Learning in 2020

This clearly shows the dominance of collaboration platforms and video meeting platforms (as reported above). But the significant thing is that these platforms are now being used for both formal and informal (social) learning at work, so, finally, we are beginning to see the integration of work and learning on the same platform.

Education in 2020

Just like workplace learning, video meeting and collaboration platforms dominate the list as education became a remote activity and there was a need to offer virtual classrooms.
