<p>The Metaverse… ever since Mark Zuckerberg proclaimed Facebook (now <em>meta</em>) is going to be a &#8222;metaverse company&#8220; the term is the all the buzz. <strong>This is a description of the Metaverse in 5 minutes. You don’t even have 5 minutes? </strong>Here is the Metaverse in one sentence:</p>



<p><em><strong>The Metaverse is a collection of open, persistent, interconnected virtual worlds, objects, and real-time simulations, where people can meet, work, play, trade, or learn together, with an individual sense of presence.</strong> </em></p>



<p>And like the universe, it is expanding.</p>



<p>Faceb&#8230; <em>meta</em> did not invent the Metaverse, neither did Microsoft or Intel, although they all hurriedly announced their own version of it. The truth is, <strong>parts of the Metaverse are already here and have been for many years.</strong> And the full-blown version that has been shown in movies like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSp1dM2Vj48">Ready Player One </a>is still a couple of years away. But what is it? And where? Here&#8217;s the slightly longer version.</p>



<p></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-the-metaverse-is-and-why-it-matters-to-you">What the Metaverse is and why it matters to you</h2>



<p><strong>89% of businesses expect hybrid working – split between home and office – to become permanent after the pandemic</strong>, prompting investment in new technology, and offices that can offer more to staff than a desk and a wifi signal (PwC 2021). <strong>Studies have shown that companies who give their employees the option of working from home have boosted their productivity significantly, and feeling the presence of your colleagues in VR conquers Zoom fatigue.&nbsp;</strong>The Metaverse is nothing short of your future workplace, game room, laboratory, and university.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>The Metaverse is a network of persistent virtual worlds and simulations, where people meet, play, build, design, trade, or work together, experiencing a sense of presence, represented by avatars or even holograms. An avatar can be your digital look-alike or a simplified cartoon-like character, or even an imaginary fantasy creature. It all depends on your taste, budget, and the platform you are using.&nbsp;</p></blockquote></figure>



<p>I follow Tony Parisi and his <a href="https://medium.com/meta-verses/the-seven-rules-of-the-metaverse-7d4e06fa864c">7 Rules of the Metaverse</a>, that <strong>there is only one Metaverse, as there is only one Internet, and nobody controls it. There is no owner, and at the moment there is very limited interoperability. </strong>What does limited interoperability mean?</p>



<p>You need a different login and avatar for every world you want to enter, and you can’t take your assets with you. But that is going to change soon, as many <a href="https://web.immers.space/">metaverse pioneers</a> are already working on open standards.</p>



<p>Some people are talking instead about <em>many</em> metaverses or multiverses &#8211; the definitions vary and time will tell. Some of these virtual spaces are open or even decentralized, where the users have a say in governance, and some are walled gardens, with no means for exchange. &nbsp;</p>



<p>T<strong>he Metaverse is not sci-fi anymore: </strong>games like Minecraft and Fortnite are just as much a part of it as blockchain-based vast virtual worlds like <a href="http://decentraland">Decentraland</a> or <a href="http://pax.world">pax.world</a>. <strong>Companies and communities already meet in corporate headquarters in virtual reality</strong> or they create games and immersive learning spaces, where your teacher appears as an avatar. The Covid pandemic boosted the adoption of virtual meeting spaces in 3D and VR like never before, because </p>

<p>Virtual art galleries are selling <a href="https://news.artnet.com/market/updated-most-expensive-nfts-1980942#:~:text=%241%20million%2C%20February%202018%2C%20GIFTO,Courtesy%20of%20the%20artist.">digital artwork for millions of dollars</a> as we speak (using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token">NFTs</a>). <strong>Virtual property sells for millions as well: </strong>patches of virtual land are in <a href="https://www-independent-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/metaverse-property-decentraland-nft-decentraland-b1965973.html?amp">high demand</a>, and first movers are making sure they own their piece of the future internet. It is like in 1995 when some companies were still arguing that the WWW is just a fad, and others claimed their virtual domain spaces, literally. The Metaverse is what the web was back then. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>Instead of a web page, you&#8217;ll be expected to have three-dimensional, beautiful company headquarters where people can meet and mingle, have chance encounters and workshops, or work on new products in a virtual space that feels just like being there with your colleagues.</p></blockquote></figure>



<p>Sometimes even the borders between the digital and the physical world blend into another: Augmented Reality brings digital experiences into our living room.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>The Metaverse is the next stage in the evolution of the Internet:</strong> while the Internet enables the exchange and linking of data, information, and documents, the future Metaverse is an open universe of virtual worlds, decentralized data, and experiences, a meeting place where we have access to everything from the flat Internet, <em>plus</em> real-time data from the physical world (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_things">IoT</a>), and continuity of assets, objects, and identity, presented through avatars.</p>



<p>At the moment the Internet is mobile, we use our smartphones all the time and everywhere.&nbsp;You’re probably reading this on your phone right now, glaring at your tiny screen.</p>



<p>Now imagine you would instead don some <a href="https://www.tomsguide.com/news/apple-glasses">fancy glasses</a>, jump into a three-dimensional space that looks like your company’s headquarters or a space station, or like something completely different.</p>



<p>You run into your colleagues, friends, or random strangers, some look exactly like in real life and others like fairies, cartoons or robots, and you start working together, shop, play, teach or you learn something new. All that <strong>with other human beings, also standing in their living room,&nbsp; home office, or sitting in a train, but on the other side of your city or the planet</strong>.&nbsp;The best part: you don&#8217;t even need those clunky VR headsets.<strong> Some metaverse worlds work in your browser, today.</strong></p>



<p>That’s a glimpse into the Metaverse in 5 minutes. It’s not just virtual reality, augmented reality, or mixed reality, it involves the Internet of things (IoT), blockchain, NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), and Artificial Intelligence, especially Conversational AI (you&#8217;ll need embodied tour guides, tutors, and receptionists everywhere). And the best thing about it: you can start experiencing the early tentative manifestations right now, right here, with your browser, VR headset, or even your smartphone. The future is now.</p>

<p><strong>Zoom-Müdigkeit und fehlendes Engagement in Webinaren? 3D-Konferenzen mit Avataren sorgen für den Wow-Effekt fühlen sich “erstaunlich echt” an.</strong></p>



<p>Tausende Industriemessen und Branchentreffs sind wegen der Pandemie bereits ausgefallen und die Besucherzahlen von virtuellen Konferenzen und Messen sind weltweit in die Höhe geschnellt. Auch die ITB, größte Tourismus-Messe der Welt, wird 2021 rein digital stattfinden. Doch Zoom-Müdigkeit ist real (Hashtag: #zoomfatigue) und fehlendes Engagement bereiten Unternehmen und Ausstellern rund um den Globus Probleme. Netzwerken via Textchat? Da fehlt etwas.</p>



<p>Die meisten Expert*innen und Unternehmen wünschen sich “echte” Konferenzen mit gemeinsamen Erlebnissen und Begegnungen zurück. Zahllose Marathon-Webinare der letzten Monate mit endlosen Matchmaking Listen verschmelzen in der Erinnerung zu einer formlosen Masse. <strong>Vielen fehlt “das Netzwerken, der Wissensaustausch”</strong> (<a href="https://www.itb-berlin.de/">ITB</a>) und <strong>“</strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/warum-2021-das-jahr-der-virtuellen-messen-wird-stefan-huck/?trackingId=yb%2FXlJ9vRj6dTzqwalOi0g%3D%3D"><strong>das persönliche Gespräch, Anfassen und Ausprobieren</strong></a><strong>.” </strong>Dabei gibt es bereits innovative Lösungen, die genau das bieten: hochprofessionelle 3D-Plattformen, so leicht zu bedienen wie ein Computerspiel.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Auch nach der Pandemie: Keine Reisekosten, größere Reichweite, bessere Umweltbilanz</h3>



<p><strong>Unternehmen wie Siemens, Deloitte, DuPont, Audi oder die Stanford University </strong>lassen deshalb herkömmliche “flache” Plattformen wie On24, Expo-IP, Microsoft Teams, Hopin etc. bereits hinter sich und <strong>gehen neue Wege: </strong>Sie verwenden <strong>virtuelle 3D-Welten,</strong> die echte gemeinsame Erlebnisse und Begegnungen versprechen.<strong> After-Work-Party am Strand für das Netzwerken nach der Arbeit inklusive. </strong>Und Produkte kann man sogar anfassen, drehen, oder um sie herumgehen &#8211; je nach Plattform, Zielgruppe und Budget ist hier fast alles möglich. Die Kosten sind nicht nur wettbewerbsfähig, sondern teilweise weit unter denen für die sogenannten “flachen” Videokonferenzen oder 2,5D-Plattformen.</p>



<p><strong>Vielfache <a href="https://surface.syr.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1205&amp;context=thesis">Studien</a> belegen, dass virtuelle 3D-Umgebungen ein räumliches und soziales Präsenzempfinden bieten, das mit Videokonferenzen, Webinaren und auch sogenannten 2,5D-Plattformen (“fake” 3D) nicht erreicht werden kann.</strong> Ich gehe deshalb in diesem Beitrag nur auf 3D-Umgebungen mit selbstgesteuerten Avataren ein.</p>



<p><img width="565" height="354" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/UvPY3FuvyoddpXdItH53VNIE6Xaz45Mt8cVMgmUgL1zJyfg_871TdgoEwr4JyvWYvp18jsP0SRX9PHXIDYge_5lraxMKVJ_GPaozcfF0ZC9Ndfox_KVhYGSaDMtXbGkadG7v0Nl0"/><br /><strong><em>Virtuelle Messehallen in 3D:</em></strong><em> Fachbesucher und Aussteller gehen mit ihren Avataren von Stand zu Stand oder teleportieren sich in den Konferenzsaal, wenn der nächste Vortrag beginnt. Und das alles ohne müde Beine am Abend.</em></p>

<p></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Keine klobigen VR-Brillen, keine müden Beine, dafür Networking am Strand</h3>



<p>Digitale Kongresse in 3D gibt es schon seit mehr als 10 Jahren, doch die 3D-Umgebungen von heute sind viel ausgereifter: <strong>so einfach zu bedienen wie eine Website</strong> und <strong>statt klobiger VR-Headsets genügt schon ein Laptop, PC oder Mac</strong>. Einige der hier gezeigten Beispiele funktionieren sogar ohne jedes Zusatzprogramm und<strong> sind webbasiert, laufen also in herkömmlichen Standard Browsern</strong>. Die meisten können zusätzlich auch mit VR-Headsets (Virtual Reality Brillen) besucht werden &#8211; aber das ist eine Option für Experten oder bestimmte Zielgruppen und kein Muss. </p>

<p><strong>Als erstes gestalten Sie als Veranstalter oder Besucher ihren Avatar</strong>, wählen mit ein paar Mausklicks Haarfarbe, Frisur und passende Kleidung (auf Wunsch in den Corporate Colors) und <strong>dann laufen Sie los</strong>: durch die virtuellen Messehallen oder ins Auditorium zum nächsten Vortrag, wo Sie und andere Avatare &#8211; alles echte Menschen &#8211; die Hand heben und Fragen stellen können &#8211; mit Ihrer Stimme natürlich, nicht nur im Textchat.</p>



<p><strong>Aussteller und Veranstalter wählen </strong>Art und Design<strong> </strong>unterschiedlichster<strong> Vortragshallen</strong>, <strong>Konferenzraeume</strong> und <strong>Messestände</strong>, die sie dann im Corporate Design gestalten und ausstatten können. Je nach Plattform können Aussteller sogar <strong>Produkte dreidimensional und in Bewegung vorstellen</strong>, Besucher gehen mit ihren Avataren drumherum und <strong>Fachgespräche finden direkt am virtuellen Stand </strong>oder in einer privaten Business-Lounge statt, wo <strong>Whiteboards auf Knopfdruck erscheinen</strong> und Videos, Präsentationen oder Webseiten nach Bedarf auf immer gegenwärtigen Bildschirmen gezeigt werden können. Wer mag, kann sogar <strong>digitale Messehostessen in Form KI-gesteuerter Avatare </strong>dazu buchen, die auch dann Frage und Antwort stehen, wenn Ihre Mitarbeiter*innen nicht am Stand sind.<br /><strong>Siemens Vertriebs-Experte Thomas Dehm</strong> sagte kürzlich in einem Interview mit dem Handelsblatt: „Die virtuelle Messe fühlte sich erstaunlich echt an – nur, dass mir am Abend nicht die Beine weh taten.”</p>



<p><img width="624" height="313" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/oYIHD9LFSVlQcfxEClHRdxT0bV84XloZbJnc9UC-NEi8cNrNDBixuVTCM4pi5vCpRbvf5UC8t5J1SViYDBJf3pfJb9Sycm_qQmaL5kRiCmyH7nokiFgKauRSAJYDYASdVad_vM3f"/><br /><em><strong>Webbasiert und in VR (Virtual Reality): </strong>Datenanalysten kamen im August 2020 zusammen, um Vortragenden aus aller Welt zu lauschen und sich anschließend in privaten Räumen und rund um die Bühne auszutauschen.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Immersion ist das Zauberwort. Mit dem eigenen Avatar eintauchen.</h3>



<p>Vielfache <a href="https://surface.syr.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1205&amp;context=thesis">Studien</a> belegen, dass virtuelle 3D-Umgebungen ein räumliches und soziales Präsenzempfinden bieten sowie bessere Lernergebnisse und eine höhere Merkfähigkeit erzielen. Das Steuern und die Verkörperung eines Avatars in einer 3D-Welt stimuliert Gehirnbereiche, die normalerweise für physische Begegnungen reserviert sind. Die Möglichkeit, den eigenen Avatar zu individualisieren und mit anderen im virtuellen Raum zu interagieren, erlaubt mehr Selbstentfaltung. Mal abgesehen von <strong>einprägsamen Erlebnissen </strong>und <strong>Networking</strong>: Wer einmal mit Leuten aus aller Welt in einem virtuellen Auditorium Samba getanzt hat, wird das so schnell nicht vergessen.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Die Cloud macht es möglich &#8211; Tausende Teilnehmer aus aller Welt</h3>



<p><em>Laval</em> <em>Virtual</em> mietete sich gleich eine ganze virtuelle Insel, die seitdem regelmäßig für Großveranstaltungen, persönliche Treffen, Präsentationen und Ausstellungen aller Art genutzt wird. Mehr als 1.200 Besucher können so einen “Private Campus” gleichzeitig nutzen, der ausgestattet ist mit diversen Konferenzhallen, Bürogebäuden, schicken Business Lounges, Boardrooms, Büros und einem eigenen Fußballfeld.</p>



<p>Diese Zahlen räumen mit dem Mythos auf, dass VR-fähige virtuelle 3D-Veranstaltungen nur eine kleine Anzahl von Benutzern unterstützen können. Tatsächlich sind diese neueren 3D-Plattformen in der Cloud angesiedelt, im Gegensatz zu einigen langjährigen Technologieunternehmen, die alles noch vor Ort beherbergen. Sich auf Cloud Giganten wie AWS und Google Cloud zu verlassen, bedeutet, dass Skalierung gesichert ist. Sogar webbasiert (ohne Downloads!) können einzelne Plattformen inzwischen mit ausgeklügelter Technik Tausende von Teilnehmern verkraften. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Auch nach der Pandemie: Keine Reisekosten, größere Reichweite, bessere Umweltbilanz</h3>



<p>Nicht zuletzt durch die Corona-Krise ist die Zahl der Anbieter von 3D-Umgebungen für den Business Kontext massiv gestiegen. Internationale Anbieter wie Learnbrite, Virbela, Virtway, Breakroom, aber auch deutsche Lösungen wie ToM (Technology of Meetings) oder TriCAT Congress bieten die meisten der hier gezeigten Features an. <strong>Doch erst bei einem Stress-Test mit echtem Publikum von Hunderten oder Tausenden Nutzern zeigt sich, ob die Versprechen eingehalten werden können (leider nicht von allen), und das böse Erwachen sollten nicht Ihre Teilnehmer haben.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Der Teufel steckt wie immer im Detail und es gibt hier kein “one-size-fits-all”. Nur mit professionellem, erfahrener Begleitung von Konzept über Planung bis zur Realisierung “vor Ort” wird Ihr 3D-Event ein voller Erfolg.</p>



<p>Im Kern geht es bei Konferenzen und Fachmessen darum, unvergessliche Erlebnisse zu schaffen und Menschen zusammenzubringen, um etwas zu lernen, sich zu vernetzen und Beziehungen aufzubauen. Doch Homeoffice und virtuelle Meetings sind die neue Norm, und ein Ende der Reiserestriktionen ist nicht abzusehen.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Hier können immersive 3D-Konferenzen die Rettung sein: sie bieten gemeinsame Erlebnisse und Knüpfen neuer Kontakte ohne Masken, ohne Reisekosten und mit&nbsp; Produktpräsentationen, die sogar die Realität übertreffen.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>KI, machinelles Lernen und Chatbots im Bewerbungsprozess 2020</strong></p>



<p>Die Digitalisierung und Globalisierung hat zu einem fundamentalen Wandel in der Arbeitswelt geführt. Personaler stellen sich auf komplett neue Berufsfelder ein, wie zum Beispiel <strong>Big Data Scientists, Conversational Designer </strong>und <strong>KI-Ethik Spezialisten</strong>.</p>



<p>Künstliche Intelligenz ist in Großunternehmen und Recruitment-Agenturen weltweit ein fester Bestandteil des Bewerbungsprozesses. Deutschland hinkt mal wieder hinterher. Deshalb gebe ich im Folgenden einen Einblick, wie KI-Anwendungen Personaler heute schon unterstützen können:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Milliardenmarkt KI und Chatbots</strong></li><li><strong>Sourcing, Screening und Candidate Experience mit KI und Chatbots</strong></li><li><strong>KI-gesteuerte Vorstellungsgespräche per Video — Tag &amp; Nacht</strong></li></ul>



<p><strong>Doch zunächst einmal scheint eine Begriffsklärung notwendig, </strong>da Künstliche Intelligenz bei vielen Menschen noch immer im Bereich Science-Fiction angesiedelt ist.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Künstliche Intelligenz (KI): Kein Mythos</strong></h3>



<p><strong>Einige denken bei Künstlicher Intelligenz — auch Artificial Intelligence (AI) — immer noch an den Terminator oder an</strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQDB8H8u25w&amp;list=PLMtL4UKic6U8tdjU2o214z_57qFoOt0f_&amp;index=4&amp;t=96s"><strong> </strong><strong>Sophia</strong></a><strong>, das telegene glatzköpfige Roboter-It-Girl. </strong>Oder an ein allwissendes Computerprogramm, das die menschliche Intelligenz übertroffen und Selbsterkenntnis erlangt hat (das ist tatsächlich noch reine Science-Fiction und nennt sich Allgemeine KI oder auch starke KI). KI wird auch oft gleichgesetzt mit maschinellem Lernen, was jedoch nur ein Teilgebiet der KI darstellt.</p>



<p>Wikipedia erklärt KI als <em>“ein Teilgebiet der Informatik, welches sich mit der Automatisierung intelligenten Verhaltens und dem maschinellen Lernen befasst.”</em></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Vereinfacht gesagt handelt es sich bei KI-Anwendungen immer um lernende Software, die intelligentes Verhalten simuliert.</strong></h3>



<p>Wie ausgeklügelt (=intelligent) diese ist, hängt vom Anwendungsfall ab. Bei KI-Anwendungen der Gegenwart handelt es sich um “schwache”, aufgabenbezogene KI. Diese Art der künstlichen Intelligenz steckt z.B. hinter <strong>automatischer Bilderkennung</strong> (hilft heute schon Ärzten bei der Früherkennung von Brustkrebs), macht die <strong>selbstfahrenden Autos</strong> von Tesla und Google erst möglich und hilft Polizisten bei der <strong>Fahndung nach Kriminellen</strong>. <strong>Siri, Alexa und jeder halbwegs anständige Chatbot</strong> nutzt “Natural Language Processing” (NLP), um die vielfältigen Nuancen menschlicher Sprache zu verstehen — auch das ist KI.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>KI in Unternehmen: Ein Milliardenmarkt. Und jeder vierte Deutsche will mit einem Chatbot sprechen.</strong></h3>



<p>Der<a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/global-chatbot-market-anticipated-to-reach-9-4-billion-by-2024-robust-opportunities-to-arise-in-retail-ecommerce-1028759508"> globale Chatbot-Markt wächst bis 2024 auf 9,4 Milliarden US-Dollar</a>, der<a href="https://www.bitkom.org/Presse/Presseinformation/Europaeischer-KI-Markt-verfuenffacht-sich-binnen-fuenf-Jahren"> europäische KI-Markt verfünffacht sich innerhalb von fünf Jahren auf 10 Milliarden Euro</a> und schon<a href="https://www.bitkom.org/Presse/Presseinformation/Jeder-Vierte-will-Chatbots-nutzen.html"> jeder vierte</a> notorisch vorsichtige Deutsche will mit einem Chatbot sprechen.</p>

<p>Chatbots, Sprachassistenten und andere dialogbasierte KI-Systeme verändern in allen Bereichen unsere Art, mit Informationen umzugehen (“Hey Siri, setze bitte Streichhölzer auf meine Einkaufsliste!”) und <strong>das sogenannte</strong><a href="https://www.haufe.de/personal/hr-management/robot-recruiting_80_484436.html"><strong> </strong><strong>“Robot Recruiting”</strong></a><strong> spielt in internationalen HR-Abteilungen bereits jetzt eine bedeutende Rolle.</strong></p>



<p>Deutschlands HR muss sich ranhalten und über den nationalen Tellerrand schauen, um nicht im Kampf um Talente zu verlieren: bisher verwenden <strong>nur 3,9 Prozent der deutschen Unternehmen datengesteuerte Werkzeuge bei der Personalsuche, obwohl 44% diese als eine sinnvolle Ergänzung zu den klassischen Verfahren sehen</strong> (<a href="https://www.ifo.de/en/node/43071">IFO-Institut, 6/2019</a>).</p>



<p><strong>KI-Lösungen für die folgenden HR-Bereiche sind besonders interessant:</strong></p>

<p><strong>Professionelle KI-Recruitment-Plattformen bilden mittlerweile den gesamten Lebenszyklus des Personalmanagements ab. </strong>Ich gehe hier vor allem ein auf</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>die Vorteile des Erstkontakts und des Screenings mithilfe dialogbasierter KI (Chatbots)</strong></li><li><strong>Versprechen und Gefahren von KI-gesteuerten Vorstellungsgesprächen per Video</strong></li></ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Im Anfang war der Chatbot. Tag und Nacht.</strong></h3>



<p><strong>Der Erstkontakt</strong> läuft heutzutage über ein Jobportal oder die Karriereseite Ihres Unternehmens. Chatbots schlafen nie und können Tausende Anfragen gleichzeitig bearbeiten. <strong>Baby Boomer erwarten sogar noch mehr als Millennials, dass die Unternehmen 24 Stunden am Tag online zur Verfügung stehen</strong> und stellen hohe Ansprüche an den automatisierten Kundenservice. Fragen rund um das Unternehmen oder zum Bewerbungsablauf kann ein Chatbot, der niemals müde, ungeduldig oder krank wird, auf Ihrer Website mühelos beantworten.</p>

Dabei werten KI-Algorhitmen im Hintergrund mithilfe von Gesichtserkennung und Emotionsanalyse ihre Mimik, Wortwahl und Tonfall sowie tausende anderer Datenpunkte aus. Das Gesamturteil wird dann den Personalverantwortlichen mit einer Einschätzung der kognitiven Fähigkeiten (korrekte Antworten), Soft Skills (Stressresistenz, Empathie, Teamfähigkeit) und einem generellen Matching vorgelegt und hilft, den Bewerbungsprozess mindestens bei der Vorauswahl massiv zu beschleunigen. <a href="https://medium.com/@virtualtrainer/wie-ki-im-recruiting-den-kampf-um-talente-gewinnt-2020-5a66f0380622">Mehr Details (und Gefahren) im Artikel!</a><br />(Bild: HireVue)</figcaption></figure>

AI is being predicted by experts <a href="http://www.iitchicagoinindia.com/blog/2018/02/the-state-of-ai-in-education-infographic/">to become the leading driver of education by the 2020s</a>. We know FAQ chatbots on websites and we are talking more to bots on our phones than people. But how can we use those virtual assistants and even AI in our next online course, micro-training session or MOOC?</p>
<h2>Enter Intelligent Tutoring Systems. Finally, the tech is maturing above chatbots.</h2>
<p>We are not talking about a pre-produced talking Avatar guiding you through your average online course. Nor are we talking about a voice assistant like Siri, Alexa or Cortana who searches Google on your command for knowledge from Wikipedia (and storing our data who-knows-where). We are talking about a virtual assistant, a chatbot, who is your interface to artificial intelligence, has a live animated face and body when needed (in Skype or virtual worlds) and is the best coach, trainer or teacher you can wish for. Yes, I am talking about an ideal world, but we are getting there!</p>
<h2>Intelligent Tutoring Systems are the CUI for eLearning &amp; Training</h2>
<p>Conversational User Interfaces (CUI) are already starting to replace our good old Graphical UI (buttons, touch and click). We have known this for decades &#8211; Captain Kirk and his crew always <em>talked</em> to the Enterprise,  and that was in the nineteen sixties! These sophisticated chatbots are certainly an interesting addition to the toolbox of online learning designers. <strong>The tech is advancing fast:</strong> <a href="https://botanic.io/">Botanic Technologies</a>, for example, <strong>has already developed multimodal Avatars (text, voice and video)</strong> who act as an advisor to medical personnel or as your personal job interview coach on Skype. One digital coach &#8212; an animated character named Andi &#8212; actually does a sentiment and emotional analysis. During a Skype video chat, it processes via webcam your facial expressions, your tonality and your use of words in order to prepare you for a successful job interview. Here&#8217;s an example:</p>
<div class="jetpack-video-wrapper">
<div class="embed-vimeo"><iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/252987995?app_id=122963" width="863" height="539" frameborder="0" title="Multi-modal interview avatar" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div>
<p><em>Watch Andi, the job interview coach in more detail on Vimeo.<br />
Or rather: Let Andi watch and analyse how <strong>you</strong> are doing &#8230;</em></p>
<h2>Your Personal Virtual Tutor: 24/7:<br />
Never Tired, Never out of Office</h2>
<p>That&#8217;s why the virtual all-knowing assistant is a better tutor. Think „personal mobile virtual coach“: Your personal learning tutor who lives in the net and assists your learning wherever you are &#8211; as a chatbot or voice assistant on your phone or as a 3D character in your favourite virtual learning environment. <strong>But the best thing is, those tutors don’t have office hours and thousands of students could benefit from on well-designed conversational bots.</strong> MOOC providers know what I am talking about &#8211; they&#8217;d give anything to clone good tutors for a 24/7 service.</p>
<h2><strong>But who can actually develop a chatbot for eLearning environments?</strong></h2>
<p>How does that even work? Most of the non-coding chatbot creation platforms (<a class="" href="https://chatfuel.com/">Chatfuel</a>, <a href="https://botsify.com/">Botsify</a>) are offering marketing, faq and customer service templates. I&#8217;ve created my first virtual teachers with tiny avatars and synthetic voices more than 10 years ago (with Pikkubot in Second Life, <a href="https://sitepal.com">sitepal</a> and presenters with <a href="https://www.mediasemantics.com/">Mediasemantics</a>) and unfortunately, I don&#8217;t see a lot of advancement in the <em>educational</em> area. To integrate a virtual tutor like the example in the video above you&#8217;d need to hire a company that creates your sophisticated coach &#8211; which is out of the question in most L&amp;D projects. Or you did deeper and try to create your own dialogue flow in <a href="https://flow.ai">Flow.ai</a> or with <a href="https://www.ibm.com/watson/services/conversation/">IBM Watson</a>. But you already have a profession and <strong>who has time to build virtual tutors from scratch?</strong></p>
<p>What to do? Well, I have chosen to take it one step at a time and<strong> I joined forces with an interesting company called <a href="https://seedtoken.io">SEED</a></strong> <strong>Vault</strong>. They want to make the world a better place by building a massive open-source bot <b><i>economy</i></b> based on the blockchain. <strong>Independent developers and learning designers need to have access to AI-powered virtual assistants with a variety of ready-to-go templates as well as to open, shared standards we can all use.</strong> It doesn&#8217;t make sense for a few companies to own the entire AI &amp; CUI market (like Facebook, Alexa, Microsoft, Google, Apple &#8230; ). Also, educators need to be very aware of data privacy &#8211; which you don&#8217;t get from these big corporations. They store every word your students would utter in a black box in exchange for their services. Bots and AI need to be transparent and verified &#8212; and that is where blockchain technology comes in.</p>
<h2>SEED: A Garden Eden for Bot Builders, Designers, Deployers and Educators on Blockchain</h2>
<p>SEED actually emanated from Botanic (the creators of Andi the interview coach) and other global bot communities are joining them as we speak. I’ve been working with Mark Stephen Meadows, founder of Botanic, years ago and have been following his work ever since. Now I&#8217;m excited to work with SEED to democratise AI, keeping my focus on education, eLearning and virtual training. I am responsible for managing Bot Community Initiatives &#8211; if you are a bot developer, dialogue designer or author please let me know &#8211; <strong>the SEED community needs you to speed up the evolution of conversational user interfaces</strong> so we can finally have ourselves a couple of wise-cracking charming virtual tutors in our next online course <img src="https://s0.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/wpcom-smileys/twemoji/2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Was your last online course fun?  </strong>Today I participated in a research project by taking a short online course. The topic was social media safety for teens and it was quite boring. It used long texts, no visuals, no interaction, <strong><em>no fun (see example below). </em></strong>It turned out that this was actually an A/B test for eLearning and I got the B version. <strong>It gave me a perfect opportunity to point out the do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts in learning design!</strong></p>
<p><figure data-shortcode="caption" id="attachment_1078" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1078" style="width: 466px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" data-attachment-id="1078" data-permalink="https://consiliera.wordpress.com/2017/07/27/the-most-important-ways-to-foster-motivation-in-online-courses-are-more-fun-than-you-think/text-lecture-pixelated/" data-orig-file="https://consiliera.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/text-lecture-pixelated.jpg" data-orig-size="920,620" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="text lecture pixelated" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://consiliera.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/text-lecture-pixelated.jpg?w=300" data-large-file="https://consiliera.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/text-lecture-pixelated.jpg?w=920" class="alignnone wp-image-1078" src="https://consiliera.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/text-lecture-pixelated.jpg" alt="text lecture pixelated" width="466" height="314" srcset="https://consiliera.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/text-lecture-pixelated.jpg?w=466&amp;h=314 466w, https://consiliera.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/text-lecture-pixelated.jpg?w=128&amp;h=86 128w, https://consiliera.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/text-lecture-pixelated.jpg?w=300&amp;h=202 300w, https://consiliera.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/text-lecture-pixelated.jpg?w=768&amp;h=518 768w, https://consiliera.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/text-lecture-pixelated.jpg 920w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-1078" class="wp-caption-text"><em>One of the main lectures about Internet safety in social media.

<h2>It is not the lack of technology</h2>
<p>Most eLearning tools and SaaS platforms today offer many professional features to make your course interesting and interactive, even on a shoe-string budget.</p>
<h2>It is (usually) not the lack of motivation</h2>
<p>Usually, people want to learn something new when they start your course. Human beings are curious. But if you bury important and interesting facts in a heap of text nobody will be able to recall anything later. <strong>You don&#8217;t need sophisticated interactive scenario-based, video-heavy 3D content though.</strong> A few basic design principles go a long way. So let&#8217;s have a look at some<strong> learning design basics.</strong></p>
<h2>Just add a dash of these basic learning design elements</h2>
<p>I am not even talking about Gamification (yet), but about basic principles that learning psychology research has known for more than 20 years now. Plus the insights about online courses and mobile learning from the more recently.</p>
<p><strong>Kind of important when you design an online course is:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Chunk information into digestible bits<br />
</strong>Do <em>not</em> use long-winded, scrollable boring text deserts. Feed one spoon at a time to the hungry</li>
<li><strong>Use visuals, interaction and variance</strong><br />
Insert pictures, interesting formatting, drag &amp; drop, more than one question type</li>
<li><strong>Give the learner</strong><strong> instant feedback<br />
</strong>Show <i>real-time feedback </i>for every single question that has been answered. Let the learner know <em>immediately</em> how they are doing and use that at the beginning (when they <i>want</i> to know &#8211; they will be immediately intrinsically motivated to move on!).<strong><br />
</strong></li>
</ul>
<h2>Ok, but where is the fun part now?</h2>
<p>It all part of the fun: making any kind of online learning fun is much easier than you think. <strong>If you follow the above three very basic principles your next course will be more fun already.</strong> Plus, you will ensure a positive learning impact. Now, let&#8217;s take a look at the research. This is where <strong>gamification</strong> enters the building.</p>
<div class="page" title="Page 57">
<div class="layoutArea">
<h2>Gamification? Isn&#8217;t that just points, badges and leaderboards?</h2>
<p>Actually &#8230; no (*). There&#8217;s more. But even PBL (points, badges, and leaderboards) can make your online course more fun and therefore create a bigger learning impact if used wisely. That&#8217;s where I got interested in the research and dove into the &#8222;why&#8220; and then &#8222;how&#8220;. Because, let&#8217;s be honest, even with a decent basic learning design you will still have problems: In online courses with many online learners, motivation and scarce social interaction are still problematic, due to the effects of isolation in a seemingly empty online environment. You&#8217;re looking at a screen for crying out loud! However, gamification has proven to encourage the development of motivation and engagement in online learning social contexts. So I analysed the gamification elements relevant to online learning with respect to their efficacy towards intrinsic motivation, competition and cooperation as well as to social learning. Turns out that research can sometimes come pretty handy.</p>

<h2 title="Page 56"><span style="color:#33cccc;">Tadaaa: Here&#8217;s the most important ingredients for your engaging online class. Seriously. It&#8217;s fun!</span></h2>
<p><strong>Spoiler alert: It&#8217;s NOT about the ingredients! </strong>The prerequisites to success are <strong>Game Thinking</strong>, <strong>freedom of choice</strong> and <strong>variety</strong>. Next, you add the other ingredients like the following <strong>two key components for gamification in online learning:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><b>Freedom </b><b>to</b> <b>fail<br />
</b>Failing in games is fun, right? Turns out that is also true for learning!</li>
<li><b>Rapid Feedback<br />
</b>realtime, unambiguous, visual, multimedia-based</li>
</ul>
<p>The mindful reader (cool that you are still with me!) might recall that some of these matches the basic learning design principles I cited before, like <strong>variety</strong>, using <strong>visuals</strong>, <strong>interaction</strong> and <strong>real-time feedback</strong>.  But wait &#8211; there&#8217;s more!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color:#33cccc;"><strong>Gamification components with major effects on intrinsic motivation:</strong></span></h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Freedom to fail (retry-button! Epic fails!)</strong></li>
<li><strong>storytelling (narrative)</strong></li>
<li><strong>meaningful goals</strong></li>
<li><strong>rapid feedback</strong></li>
<li><strong>challenges</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The story element can be quite powerful:</strong> you don&#8217;t have to write an epic Hollywood plot &#8211; use cartoons, characters, themes and tonality to make your course a little more playful and therefore more fun.</p>
<p>In a nutshell, this is what you need to gamify any online learning experience &#8211; be it a self-paced coding class or a company training with learning groups. Because:</p>
<h1><span style="color:#33cccc;"><em>&#8222;Fun is just another word for learning&#8220;</em></span></h1>
<p>(Raph Koster, 2010)</p>
<p>For online courses with <strong>more than a handful of people</strong>, you&#8217;ll need to look at <strong>social learning </strong>wisdom as well. But that is material for another post.</p>

<p class="p1"><b>Blended Learning </b>ist dabei der Trend, der auch im deutschsprachigen Raum bereits als Angebot an Hochschulen und in der Weiterbildung immer mehr Fuß fasst und sich weiterhin rapide verbreitet. <b>Die notwendigen Veränderungen in der Lernkultur und Innovationsbereitschaft auf Seite der Fakultäten </b>wurde im Report als „Long-Term“ kategorisiert &#8211; was aufgrund meiner Erfahrung mit Innovationsprozessen über die letzten 25 Jahre hinweg im Bereich Medien (leider) realistisch ist. Für mich bedeutet das jedoch nicht, dass man den Dingen eben &#8222;einfach Zeit geben&#8220; muss, sondern <strong>dass wir die Notwendigkeit der kulturellen Veränderungen berücksichtigen, wenn wir neue Bildungstechnologien vermehrt einsetzen.</strong> Neue Medien machen etwas mit den Menschen &#8211; oder wie es Marshall McLuhan ausdrückte „They leave no part of us untouched“ (McLuhan, Fiore, 1967) &#8211; und <strong>wenn wir neue Technologien in der Bildung einsetzen, müssen wir schon bei der Konzeption des Curriculums und neuer Lehr-/Lernszenarios berücksichtigen, inwiefern die vorhandenen Lernumgebungen und die Lehrkultur bereits dazu passt &#8211; vor allem aufseiten der Lehrenden (Digital Literacy).</strong> In den meisten Fällen wird ein Umdenken und die Bereitschaft zu Veränderungen in den fakultativen Prozessen notwendig sein. Und das ist zwar manchmal mühsam, aber lösbar.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://blog.blackboard.com/blackboard-myedu-past-present-and-futurecompetency/"><img src="https://consiliera.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/pr-image-717x359.png" alt="new enhanced profile" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Mit dem neuen &#8222;<a href="http://blog.blackboard.com/blackboard-myedu-past-present-and-futurecompetency/">Enhanced Cloud Profile</a>&#8222;</strong> bietet die BlackboardLearn Umgebung sowie <a href="http://www.coursesites.com">Coursesites.com</a> dank der Integration von <a href="https://www.myedu.com/">MyEdu</a> in Kürze allen teilnehmenden Institutionen und Lernenden eine neue Profilseite in Form eines modularen <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Portfolio">ePortfolios</a> zur Selbstpräsentation an. <strong>Kompetenzen, Zertifikate, Badges, Aktivitäten, Arbeitgeber, Abschlüsse und die Teilnahme an Kursen zeigen auf einen Blick Schwerpunkte und Interessen.</strong>  Das digitale Profil wird unabhängig von Schulen und Universitäten, die Blackboard als LMS nutzen, in der Blackboard Cloud gespeichert und steht dem lebenlangen Lerner als Bildungsbegleiter theoretisch bis zur Bahre zur Verfügung &#8211; so jedenfalls wünscht es sich das Unternehmen.<br />
Das neue <em>&#8222;competency-based Digital Portfolio&#8220;</em> &#8211; das laut Blackboard bald <em>&#8222;traditionelle Lebensläufe ersetzen&#8220;</em> wird, ist nur <a href="http://ibuchem.wordpress.com/2014/06/15/open-badges-for-employment/">ein Beispiel</a> für einen Trend hin zum interaktiven Online-Lebenslauf in Echtzeit, der mehr auf Kompetenzen und individuelle Spezialgebiete sowie Online-Qualifikationen fokussiert als auf akademische Abschlüsse.</p>
<p><strong>Speziell für &#8222;lebenslange&#8220; ePortfolios geschaffene Lernplattformen wie <a href="http://www.mahara.org">Mahara</a> </strong>sind ebenfalls unabhängig von den Institutionen an denen man studiert, doch der Einsatz von Präsentations-Portfolios scheint trotz langjähriger <a href="http://www.eife-l.org/activities/projects/epicc/">Initiativen der Europäischen Kommission</a> zur Etablierung eines &#8222;ePortfolios für jeden EU-Bürger&#8220; nur an vereinzelten Schulen und Hochschulen zu passieren. <strong>Als persönliche Lernumgebung <span class="st">(PLE = Personal Learning Environment) </span></strong>dagegen setzen Studierende und Schüler Mahara vor allem ein, um den eigenen Lernprozess zu begleiten, zu reflektieren und auch kollaborativ mit anderen Wissen/Lehrstoff zu erarbeiten und in Form von Lernportfolios für unterschiedliche Zielgruppen (privat und öffentlich) zu dokumentieren.</p>
<p><strong>Die wachsende Anzahl an Online-Kursen bis hin zu vollständigen Master-Programmen und </strong><strong>standardisierte </strong><strong>Badges</strong> wie z.B. <a href="http://www.openbadges.org/">Open Badges</a> der Mozilla Foundation oder per <a href="https://www.coursera.org/signature/">Signature Track</a> verifizierte <a href="http://www.coursera.org">Coursera</a> Zertifikate unterstützen diese Entwicklung. Die Technologie macht es sogar möglich, zukünftigen Arbeitgebern per digitalem Portfolio den aktuellen Fortschritt eines laufenden Studiums oder Lehrgangs in Echtzeit zu zeigen.</p>
<p><strong>Business-Netzwerke wie LinkedIn oder XING</strong> dienen schon lange immer mehr Leuten dazu, ihren Lebenslauf mit Online-Portfolios (XING) oder Empfehlungen und Bestätigungen (LinkedIn) interaktiv zu ergänzen und ich bin gespannt, wann die beiden Anbieter auch Open Badges unterstützen oder z.B. Zertifikate von edEX, Udacity und Coursera, aber auch iversity und Lecturio (deutsche Onlinekurs-Anbieter) integrieren.</p>
<p><strong>Ach ja: Mein erstes Open Badge</strong> habe ich von der Swinburne University of Technology für die erfolgreiche (geprüfte!) Teilnahme am <a title="“Carpe Diem” MOOC für Pädagogen lehrt kollaboratives Kursdesign für eLearning" href="https://consiliera.wordpress.com/2014/03/06/carpe-diem-mooc-fur-padagogen-lehrt-kollaboratives-kursdesign-fur-elearning/">Carpe Diem Learning Design MOOC</a> erhalten (Coursesites unterstützt Open Badges) und nach dem Blackboard Update auch endlich geschafft, es in mein Mozilla Backpack hochzuladen.</p>

We need to reach learners wherever they are &#8211; independent of their physical location. And we&#8217;re not talking about eLearning &#8211; we&#8217;re talking about social, intercultural and highly individual learning experiences that in some cases lead to a Master&#8217;s Degree, in others to mastering a new skill or to acquire a specific qualification.</p>
<p>Here are some reasons for getting serious about online learning:</p>
<ul>
<li>A next-generation kind of online learning which takes advantage of the technological developments of the recent past offers valuable opportunities to learners worldwide</li>
<li>intercultural social collaboration without having to travel around the globe</li>
<li>flexible schedules to serve lifelong learners, supporting work-life-balance</li>
<li>offering high-level educational resources to the economically, physically or politically challenged</li>
<li>the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Generation Y</a> (Millenials &#8211; born after 1981) is expecting all of the above</li>
</ul>
<p>I&#8217;ll discuss four different aspects/areas:</p>
<ol>
<li>Massive Collaborative Open Online Learning</li>
<li>Corporate Online Universities</li>
<li>Serving Lifelong learners &#8211; the rise of the part-time MBA</li>
<li>MOOCs and networked campuses for resource-constrained or rural universities</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>1) Massive Collaborative Open Online Learning<br />
</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://coursera.com">Coursera</a> with over 100 universities from all over the world, <a href="http://udemy.com">Udemy</a> with 16.000+ online courses, <a href="http://www.udacity.com">Udacity</a>, <a href="http://iversity.org">iversity.org</a>, <a href="https://www.khanacademy.org/">Khan Academy</a>, <a href="http://www.openuniversity.edu">OpenUniversity</a>, <a href="https://www.futurelearn.com/">Futurelearn</a> and <a href="http://www.edx.org">edX</a> &#8211;<b>they all show the way in that they go out to the learners, wherever they are instead of requiring them to come to a physical place</b>.</p>
<p><b>This is not only a US or UK phenomenon</b>; <a href="http://www.lecturio.de">Lecturio.de</a> in Germany &#8211; where I live &#8211; offers flat-rates for medicinal or law students bundling several courses that lead to degrees and/or credit points at accredited universities and colleges. <a href="http://iversity.org" target="">iversity.org</a>, based in Berlin, started offering high-level MOOCs with international educators and 10.000 students enrolling in courses that don&#8217;t even offer credits. Spain is in the lead of MOOC providers in Europe (although I don&#8217;t know why &#8211; do you?). There is a growing number and a need for next generation MOOCs.</p>
<p>By next generation MOOC I refer to the next generation of online learning, incorporating the impact power of xMOOCs with the connectivist and constructivist didactical design of cMOOCs with recent research in neurosciences on learning processes &#8211; combining it with all the empirical experiences we and other early adopters have had with this kind of learning.</p>
<p>Other European examples:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.france-universite-numerique.fr/mooc.html" target="">France: FUN, </a>MOOC platform by french <a href="http://www.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr" target="">Ministère de l&#8217;enseignement supérieur et de la recherche</a>.</p>
<p><a target="">Italy: U</a><a target="">ninettuno</a> OpenupEd</p>
<p><em>More information about European Online Learning platforms: <a href="http://openeducationeuropa.eu/en/european_scoreboard_moocs" target="">Open Education Europa</a></em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>2) Corporate Campus: Online Universities for employees<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Additionally, there&#8217;s a trend towards high-quality educational programs enforced and facilitated by corporations using the MOOC approach</p>
<ul>
<li>to attract future high potentials as a skilled workforce for the ever-changing dynamic markets ahead</li>
<li>to nurture their future workforce and stifle innovation / innovative thinking by offering far more dynamic and praxis-relevant content to learners than the slow-moving HEIs <i>Examples:</i></li>
<li>Udemy already offers with UFO a „corporate university in a box&#8220;: a white label platform for companies where they can build their own online academies with or without filled catalogues of online courses</li>
<li>Coursera and Udacity offer subscription-based plans for companies of all sizes to facilitate their in-house L &amp; D needs</li>
<li><i>adidas</i> has built a 21st-century online campus with MOOCs (<a href="http://blog.adidas-group.com/2014/03/bringing-the-adidas-group-learning-campus-to-life-learning-in-the-21st-century/" target="">Adidas Group Learning Campus</a>) and <i>Deutsche Telekom</i> is trying to find answers with their <a href="http://www.Shareground.net" target="">www.Shareground.net</a> initiative</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>3) Serving Lifelong Learners &#8211; rise of the part-time MBA<br />
</strong></p>
<p>There&#8217;s another development that has to do with the changing demographics and faster changing (digital and global) world and markets: the lifelong learners need to be served and individuals, as well as corporations worldwide, begin to see innovative online courses with a connected design as a solution to their learning needs in different phases of their (work-) life.</p>
<p>The list of part-time Master programmes for full-time working executives <a href="http://www.gmac.com/~/media/Files/gmac/Research/admissions-and-application-trends/2013-app-trends-survey-report.pdf">is growing every day</a> (here&#8217;s a <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/rankings#1">US ranking</a> of part-time MBA&#8217;s) and more people are interested in specialized and <a href="http://www.businessbecause.com/news/business-finance-masters/2510/specialized-masters-gain-ground-mbas-decline">individualized master programmes</a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:inherit;">Older students prefer taking online classes from home and need more flexible schedules to cater to family needs.<br />
</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>4) MOOCs and networked campuses for resource-constrained or „far from hot-spots&#8220; universities:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Advanced integrated second generation MOOCs will be one solution for resource constrained universities to attract and serve students globally without having to provide expensive campuses in urban areas</li>
<li>Low-cost satellite campuses (see a great <a href="https://class.coursera.org/globalhighered-001/forum/thread?thread_id=1171" target="">post on this subject</a> by Donnalee Donaldson) in different hubs/hot spots of the world like New York, London, Berlin, Shanghai, Tokyo, Barcelona or San Francisco could extend their reach even more if they offered complete Bachelor/Master degree courses online with short sessions in these physical campuses for live collaboration experiences, activities and exams in person (Blended Learning)</li>
<li>once they moved serious parts of their formal educational program online they can expand their reach even further by building a networked campus with other smaller HEIs in order to share resources and students. An example for this is the network of small universities „L&#8217;université Lorraine&#8220; in Lorraine, France:<a href="https://class.coursera.org/globalhighered-001/forum/thread?thread_id=1181" target=""> See the post</a> of Jonathan Pierrell</li>
</ul>
<p>To incorporate and offer collaborative, networked online learning experiences with a diverse intercultural structure is the future &#8211; for universities as well as for corporations. To not only serve an urban majority of the population but also the people who otherwise have no access to high-level education or intercultural exchange for geographic, economic or political reasons.</p>

<p><em>Nice post. Thanks for sharing the map indicating the number of MOOCS by countries in Europe. Quite interesting. (FYI, in France, the French National Education has started its own MOOC platform: FUN &#8211; <a href="http://www.france-universite-numerique.fr/">http://www.france-universite-numerique.fr/</a> I thinkn the potential for changes in higher education is even more significant when universities are almost completely publicly founded&#8230;)</em></p>

<p>BJ:<br />
<em>Yes online learning is a way of the future. Nevertheless, I do have questions. I am certainly enjoying this course, much more than I thought I would. </em></p>
<div class="course-forum-post-text" dir="auto"><em>Firstly, all the material caters for the typical  English speaker, I have no problem navigating my way around the site &#8211; it&#8217;s great! However, what if  I didn&#8217;t understand or indeed fully understand English? How could I access this information, how could I navigate my way around this site? The language of the internet is English and it is people with this knowledge who benefit most.</em><br />
<em>Also, online learning is great for people who have good bandwidth. Good bandwidth in many parts of the world costs money. If I can&#8217;t afford good bandwidth I am excluded from or it will be difficult for me to access online education.</em><br />
<em>Oh yes, I have my own laptop so I can interact with this material any time, any place. This laptop was not cheap and if I couldn&#8217;t afford this laptop then again my access would be restricted.</em><br />
<em>Yes, the way we are learning is changing and it is really exciting but at the end of the day it seems that it is still the same people who are denied access. Collaborative approaches as you mention are crucial, but I believe that collaborative approaches with a conscience are the future.</em></p>

<div class="course-forum-post-header"><em>Hi BJ,</em><br />
<em>The map with the number of MOOCs in Europe does indicate that MOOCs do not only exist in English! If you didn&#8217;t speak English, you wouldn&#8217;t have joined this course and would have started some (maybe on a similar or other topic) in a language that you would understand. For sure, it&#8217;s less likely to have a MOOC in a regional language or a minority language, but there is linguistic variety out there. I would say, don&#8217;t think that all the info on the net is in English &#8230; (Maybe you have missed out a lot :p)</em><em>As for the cost and accessibility, yes, bandwidth and other equipment is required, but what is more expensive: a laptop (with or without internet, since there are wifi hotspots in more and more places), or tuition fees? I believe that there are very few people who cannot afford a laptop and still end up in any HEI..</em></p>

<em><b>1) Language variety</b></em><br />

<ol>
<li><em><a href="http://iversity.org">iversity.org</a> (German MOOC provider, open education, you only pay for certificates): they just startet out last year and offer approx. 60% in German (rest in English) while the profs are from various countries.
