Over the past few weeks (ok, months) I’ve been working on a big article on how fitness and learning are connected. One section looks at the past, present, and future of each. Here’s a bitesize excerpt that looks at how learning & education may evolve in the coming years.

## 1\. 🎓 Classes

Linear templates –> Multiple paces and modes

## 2\. 🎨 Content

Digital textbooks –> Interactive, personalised prototypes

## 3\. 🌎 Talent

Tenured professors –> Globetrotting facilitators

## 4\. 💡 Community

Coffee break small talk –> Diverse peer learning networks

## 5\. 💻 Technology

Serving up files –> Cutting-edge hardware made accessible to all

## 6\. 🏄🏽‍♂️ Location

Mandated schlep –> Actively enrolled, learning in the flow of work & life

## 7\. 👟 Brand

Elite institutions –> On-point, relatable brands as open educators

## 8\. 🥋 Vertical integration

Internship factory pipeline –> Blended apprenticeships

And 1 for luck, relating to Content and Vertical Integration:

⚠️ Hostage video vibe –> 🎥 Hollywood production studio
