Vin Bhalerao's answer to Which trends in technology will most impact education/learning over the next several years? - Quora:

Most other answers have addressed the "learning" side of education. While those answers are really good, we also need to look at the other side, namely certification / desirability and discoverability from employment point of view. In this area, I believe that following trends will be important:

  1. e-portfolio,
  2. data-driven / just-in-time certification
  3. data-driven reputation / social rank management (for the student),
  4. data-driven discovery (for the potential employer / customer)

Some might argue that the last point doesn't actually belong in "education" per se, but I think it will have a major impact on education nevertheless.
