10. 5 TRENDS FROM LAST 5 YEARS

11. 1 Acceptance of LMS systems (rightly or wrongly) to be the central piece in Workplace Learning strategy

12. 2 Establishment of Flash as the de-facto development platform for custom eLearning creation allowing use of streaming audio/ video over the web

13. 3 Evolution of authoring tools like Articulate to become better & easier to work with reducing the cost of development

14. 4 Increase in capacity of mobile phones and networks to make them potent devices for learning

15. 5 Emergence of social media (and revived focus on social and informal learning) Read more

16. 7 TRENDS 5 TO WATCH OUT FOR OVER THE NEXT YEARS

21. 2 Performance Support will increase manifold

22. 2 Performance Support will increase manifold Lot of training will take the shape of performance support

23. 2 Performance Support will increase manifold Learners will start accessing learning content just when they need it through their mobile phones

24. 2 Performance Support will increase manifold Augmented Reality would also play an important role in sophisticated advanced performance support systems

25. 3 Tablets as support devices

26. 3 Tablets as support devices Ideal as field staff’s support device for trouble shooting problems by referring to product manuals and operational procedures

27. 4 LMS will evolve to support (not manage) Formal + Informal + Social + Non-Formal learning components

28. 4 LMS will evolve to support (not manage) Formal + Informal + Social + Non-Formal learning components This will bring about a big shift in the way we see assessments

29. 4 LMS will evolve to support (not manage) Formal + Informal + Social + Non-Formal learning components The ability to measure informal learning may be done through the system itself

30. 4 LMS will evolve to support (not manage) Formal + Informal + Social + Non-Formal learning components Constant tracking of some metrics will help learning designers monitor the ‘learning/performance health’ of the system and its users

31. 5 Games (and simulations) will become integral part of workplace learning

32. 5 Games (and simulations) will become integral part of workplace learning The culture of gaming is becoming pervasive and the cost of game development is decreasing, thereby increasing the acceptance of games for workplace learning

33. 5 Games (and simulations) will become integral part of workplace learning As the focus of learning departments change to being facilitators rather than providers of training, engaging solutions like games will become crucial

34. 6 Birth of new Authoring Tools

35. 6 Birth of new Authoring Tools There will be new authoring tools which allow designers to make application scenarios easily and quickly

36. 6 Birth of new Authoring Tools Tools like thinking worlds are great for quickly creating 3D based decision simulations (or even simple 3D games)

37. 7 Emergence of Personal Learning Agents

38. 7 Emergence of Personal Learning Agents Intelligent personal learning software agents will emerge as learning content mediators with the emergence of Semantic Web

39. 7 Emergence of Personal Learning Agents These agents, that run on a personal computing device and constantly monitor content streams on the internet to provide up-to-date information, will make a good performance support and learning assistance system Read more
