Abstract
Over the past decade, opportunities for online learning have dramatically increased. Learners around the world now have digital access to a wide array of corporate trainings, certifications, comprehensive academic degree programs, and other educational and training options. Some organizations are blending traditional instruction methods with online technologies. Blended learning generates large volumes of data about both the content (quality and usage) and the learners (study habits and learning outcomes). Correspondingly, the need to properly process voluminous, continuous, and often disparate data has prompted the advent of cognification. Cognification techniques design complex data analytic models that allow natural intelligence to engage artificial smartness in ways that can enhance the learning experience. Cognification is the approach to make something increasingly, ethically, and regulatably smarter. This article highlights how emerging trends in cognification could disrupt online education.

Résumé
Au cours de la dernière décennie, les possibilités d'apprentissage en ligne ont augmenté de façon remarquable. Les apprenants du monde entier ont maintenant un accès numérique à un large éventail de formations d'entreprise, de certifications, de programmes universitaires complets et d'autres options d'éducation et de formation. Certaines organisations combinent les méthodes d'enseignement traditionnelles avec les technologies en ligne. L'apprentissage hybride génère d'importants volumes de données concernant à la fois le contenu (qualité et utilisation) et les apprenants (habitudes d'étude et résultats d'apprentissage). En conséquence, la nécessité de traiter correctement des données volumineuses, continues et souvent divergentes a entraîné l'avènement de la cognification. Les techniques de cognification conçoivent des modèles d'analyse de données complexes qui permettent à l'intelligence naturelle de mobiliser l'intelligence artificielle de manière à améliorer l'expérience d'apprentissage. La cognification est l'approche qui consiste à rendre quelque chose de plus en plus intelligent, de manière éthique et régulée. Cet article souligne comment les tendances émergentes en matière de cognification pourraient bouleverser l'enseignement en ligne.
