Creating learning paths or programs around the learner means knowing as much about the learner as possible, for example, his capacity to learn the material, how, and where he wants to learn it, and how fast he can master the material. This learner-centered approach is much more effective than simply creating educational material around the subject and forcing the student to fit within that box. It’s no wonder that companies such as Pluralsight, Lynda.com, Udacity, and Udemy have received such heavy interest from the investment world: It’s time to disrupt the stodgy old education marketplace and replace it with innovative and accelerated learning solutions that can truly close the skills gap.
