CHANGES IN ADULT EDUCATION

My area of specialization is the subject of business analytics. Earlier excel was mostly used by the instructors and students. But now new software’s needs to be acquired.

·         Tableau

·         Qlik

·         ThoughtSpot

·         MicroStrategy

·         Sisense

·         TIBCO

·         SAS

·         IBM

·         SAP

Why we need to learn and teach some of the above softwares because I read from the article Emerging Trends in Business Analytics (  file:///C:/Users/amitk/Desktop/cacmEmergingTrendsInBI.pdf.) that business analytic is becoming customer oriented. The adoption of customer relationship management (CRM) and Supply Chain Management software has allowed enterprises to fully interface/integrate their demand and supply chains. As an educator I am in a process of learning theses software’s. The article found is appended below:

The article has highlighted “How to Select the Best Data Analytics Software Tools”. Additionally, the article discusses the various advantages and disadvantages of different software. In my learning process I am not making me aware of Tableau tool. These software’s helps in cleaning the data and simplifying the big raw data. The data created is easily understandable format. The visualization created using pivot tables becomes easy to bifurcate the big data. The dashboard and worksheets formed by these tools are much straightforward to make in comparison to excel. The need of an hour is that students need to learn the software’s which are being currently used in an industry in the current scenario.

TRENDS IN ADULT EDUCATION (FIRST ATRICLE):

The trend I see in adult education is mobile training. The training program should be such that adult learners can have access to video recording/ books/lecture notes through the mobile phone or computer. The mobile learning should be such that the students can access the training anytime as per their convenience and from any device. The game-based learning can be added in the mobile learning so as to make the learning more interesting. The article link is appended below:

The article above also reflects self-led learning. Adult learners help the students to be more proactive.  Another part covered was microlearning. This means that learners do not want to digest everything in one go. If the instructors add small videos, then it will be easy for them to absorb. Instructor quality should be such that both instructor and learners can share their views instead of one-way learning. The instructor should highlight some stories based upon their experience. The learners also should share their knowledge with the instructors so that everyone in the class is benefitted from the same. Additionally, artificial intelligence can enhance the personalized learning of the students (adult learners).

TRENDS IN ADULT EDUCATION (SECOND ATRICLE):

I also read the following article regarding the trend in adult education.

https://evolllution.com/revenue-streams/market_opportunities/five-key-trends-for-professional-and-continuing-education-leaders-in-the-next-five-years/

The articles discuss that students need to be aware of recent software due to rising competition and changing market trends. As an educator, we need to think that are we teaching the students according to the needs of the industry- today and tomorrow. Are we making them aware of the intelligent technologies in their field? We also need to think about adding soft skills in our teaching process, which can help the students get a better job. Additionally, artificial intelligence (AI) will enhance the personalized learning of adult educators. AI technologies use the interactive way of engaging the learners. A higher level of outcome will be expected if we are making use of “SMART” technologies.
