Here are some trends that are potential future trends in online community building for education: Intense-personalisation and AI-powered interactions: Personalised learning journeys and adaptive communities based on AI will cater to diverse learning styles and preferences. Immersive and gamified experiences: VR, AR and Gamification elements will further incentivise participation, turning knowledge acquisition into a fun and engaging adventure. Micro-communities and niche interests: Smaller, hyper-focused groups dedicated to specific topics, skills, or even shared passions will find more acceptance. Decentralisation and blockchain-based communities: Blockchain technology could revolutionise online learning communities by securely sharing learning resources, credentials, and even micro-payments for peer-to-peer tutoring or content creation.
