The Commons: Next Generation Learning

A new study forecasts the next generation learning environment.

From the creators of Virtually Inspired, a website that showcases pockets of digital learning innovation worldwide, comes “The Classroom of the Future” whitepaper. This downloadable document examines next generation learning.

To reimagine education of tomorrow, we must consider new methodologies augmented with technologies that enable us to create active, authentic and customized virtual learning experiences. Learners will expect convenient and continuous access to active and authentic, customized formal and informal self-directed learning.

Dr. Susan Aldridge, President of Drexel University Online and Marci Powell, Chair Emerita and Past President of the U.S. Distance Learning Association take a look the attributes that should be the cornerstone of the next generation learning environment.

Download the whitepaper here. We hope that the ideas and resources it provides will inspire all of you to join the conversation, both within and beyond your own institutions, as we create the next generation of learning.
