The eLearning 2.0 Project will analyze the potential of technology to bring about substantial transformation in teaching, learning, and instruction within academic and instructional settings.
One of the leading authorities in technology in the space of higher education has introduced the eLearning 2.0 Project – a research initiative that aims to investigate the growing integration of AI, next-generation virtual classrooms, and other emerging technologies in colleges and universities.
eLearning 2.0 Project
“The emergence of AI and new virtual classroom technologies will be significant catalysts for change across all sectors of American higher education,” said Casey Green, founder of The Campus Computing Project and the proponent of eLearning 2.0.
The project will analyze the potential of these technologies to bring about substantial transformation in teaching, learning, and instruction within academic and instructional settings. This announcement was made during the EDUCAUSE conference for technology leaders in higher education.
Research focus
Green emphasized the enthusiasm of campus officials for valuable data and guidance that can enhance their institutions, faculty, and students. The eLearning 2.0 Project aims to deliver timely insights, aiding academic institutions in navigating a future filled with excitement and high impact.
The eLearning 2.0 Project, starting this fall, will utilize campus discussions and a national network of campus officials. Research will focus on how AI, next-gen virtual classrooms, and emerging tech can enhance institutional outcomes in academic integrity, advising, curriculum, instructional design, and support for faculty and students.
AI in the next 5 years
The symbiosis between artificial intelligence and education is on an upward trajectory, with the forthcoming years promising significant expansion of AI applications within this sector, according to a report by think tank Technavio.
In its report titled “Artificial Intelligence Market In The Education Sector Market 2023-2027”, Technavio also noted that the increase underscores the rising importance of integrating AI into the educational landscape to boost learning outcomes.
Over the next five years, the research found that the education sector is poised for a transformative leap, fueled by AI. It projected a net increase of $1,100.07 million by 2027 due to AI in the education market setting the stage for revolutionary changes.
