The next generations of learner-centered offerings are being developed today, using the concept of expeditionary development . In the future, successful programs, products, services, experiences, relationships, and even spaces will be expeditionary. Expeditionary development will lead to a new generation of learning agent relationships and tools, a new learningware industry, and the next generation of learning management tools. Expeditionary Development Expeditionary strategy and product development have emerged as the norm in the software and laptop computer industries. They are about to become the norm in the learning industry.
Expeditionary development is about much more than flexibility.
Expeditionary strategy and products are driven by vision. They position the learning enterprise for success in a new competitive environment. These products involve rapidly developed prototypes that anticipate new learner needs, then continuously improve themselves in response to evaluative feedback. Five years from inception, an expeditionary learning experience will be dramatically different than when first introduced. It also will have spawned waves of derivative products and services.
