Prediction #4: The “Learning Tech Stack” will enter the strategic conversation
In 2026, learning tech stack thinking will enter the mainstream, shifting learning platforms away from closed system silos and toward composable ecosystems of content, analytics, and adaptive services connected through open APIs.
Prediction #2: Data quality tooling for xAPI will become a priority as learning technologies increasingly share data
As more tools and organizations share their xAPI data around, the question of data quality becomes (even more) urgent. A malformed statement, a non-conformant xAPI Profile implementation, or low-fidelity activity data no longer “just” create local problems; now flawed data can propagate through the network, degrading analytics and undermining trust across the digital landscape.
