A recent trend in higher education is the rise of free online courses. These courses are offered by both private and public institutions with the goal of providing an opportunity for individuals to learn about a specific topic without incurring tuition costs. A few examples include:

• “Introduction to Psychology” at Yale University 
• “Exploring Courses” from MIT OpenCourseWare 

More Affordable

As more people pursue higher education, online degrees are becoming more affordable and convenient. Online degrees can be cheaper than traditional programs, as they eliminate the need for classrooms, dorms and teachers. In addition to saving money on tuition, online students save time that would otherwise be spent commuting to school or waiting in line at the registrar’s office.

Online courses are also increasingly convenient because they allow students to fit their learning around their schedule rather than having to adjust their schedules around a predefined class schedule. For example, an online student may take exams when it is most convenient for her rather than having to take them during a specific time period each semester (this was especially helpful when I was working full-time while also attending school).

Finally — and perhaps most importantly — online programs offer much more flexibility when it comes to scheduling coursework and graduation requirements; many schools allow students complete control over this process by only requiring them to complete certain core classes within a set amount of time before earning their degree or certificate! This means less stress about making sure everything gets done on time so you don’t fall behind your classmates who already completed graduation requirements months ago!

As the digital world continues to expand, some universities are offering free online classes to their students, others are turning their educational resources into full-fledged programs that can be accessed by anyone with an Internet connection. Companies like Coursera and EdX have been working collaboratively with top-notch universities like MIT and Harvard to offer thousands of hours of content (including lectures, labs and assignments) for free online. In addition to these large platforms, government agencies such as NASA have also joined in on the trend by making their lessons available for anyone who wants them. Non-profit organizations such as Khan Academy have made strides in providing high quality educational materials at no cost whatsoever! Lastly but certainly not leastly — individuals from all over the globe have taken it upon themselves to record their own lectures or create interactive multimedia tutorials using YouTube or Vimeo so that people everywhere can access them without having any prior knowledge about where they came from originally (or how much money went into producing them).

Executive Learning 

The average tenure of a chief executive officer (CEO) is 3.4 years and an average board member’s term lasts 5.4 years, so it’s essential that leaders are equipped with the skills to lead through turbulent times and change management challenges. However, despite these data points indicating a need for ongoing learning, less than one in five CEOs are active learners who seek out new information on a regular basis according to research from Spencer Stuart and The Conference Board. This lack of executive development can have serious consequences for organizations as nearly half of all CEOs who leave their post do so because they were fired or lost their jobs in another way (e.g., merger/acquisition). It’s clear that organizations need to create programs that provide executives with opportunities to refresh their skillsets regularly so they’re prepared for whatever comes their way in today’s business world. How?

Today executives may look for more convenient ways of learning instead of spending time away from work traveling across the country or even halfway around the globe just doing it online! With technology advances such as video conferencing software like Zoom becoming increasingly popular among executives we foresee fewer people leaving their companies behind during off-site events.

“Corporate online education programs are growing in popularity, and the number of companies offering them is increasing rapidly,” says Brian Stauffer, vice president of corporate training at eLearning provider Kineo.

In fact, according to a recent survey by LinkedIn Learning Research & Insights, 73% of companies said they were planning to increase their use of digital learning this year—and that’s not even including the people who already use it as part of their day-to-day work.

Personalized Learning

Personalized learning is any type of studying where the content, delivery, and assessment are tailored to meet the needs of each individual student. This may include:

• Learning that is customized to fit the interests, needs and goals of an individual student
• Learning that is personalized based on a person’s preferences

The key point here is that personalization requires customization. Personalization means tailoring something for an individual person or group; it’s not just about making things more comfortable or convenient for people who already know what they want out of life (like some kind of digital lifestyle guru).
