Mobile technology, gamification, microlearning/MOOCs, virtual and augmented reality, and social learning have all played a role in shaping the online learning we see in postsecondary education today.

This evolution is driven by the inherent benefits of online learning, the challenges of siloed responsibilities across faculty, administration and operations, and a growing awareness of the need for a more comprehensive approach.
