Abstract

The Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) revolution has introduced numerous implications for all. It helped legitimize the efficacy of online education and created a new paradigm of learning analytics based on deep learning. This presentation shares insights on emerging education technology solutions, increasingly relevant 21st century competencies, and resilient challenges in higher education, along with lessons learned from an active mobile learning project focused on inquiry-based learning and critical thinking skill development.
