TRENDS
FROM LAST
5
YEARS

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

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

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

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

5
Emergence of social media
(and revived focus on social
and informal learning)

TRENDS
5
TO WATCH OUT FOR OVER
THE NEXT
YEARS

1
Mobiles will become the platform of choice for workplace learning delivery

1
Just-in-time information (videos, documents, or mini courses) for learners accessible through corporate information systems

1
Collaboration with colleagues

1
Learner generated content using
mobiles devices

2
Performance Support will
increase manifold

2
increase manifold
Lot of training will take the shape of performance support

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

2
increase manifold
Augmented Reality would also play an important role in sophisticated advanced performance support systems

3
Tablets as support devices

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

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

4
This will bring about a big shift in the way we see assessments

4
The ability to measure informal learning may be done through the system itself

4
Constant tracking of some metrics will help learning designers monitor the ‘learning/performance health’ of the system and its users

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

5
The culture of gaming is becoming pervasive and the cost of game development is decreasing, thereby increasing the acceptance of games for workplace learning

5
As the focus of learning departments change to being facilitators rather than providers of training, engaging solutions like games will become crucial

6
Birth of new Authoring Tools

6
There will be new authoring tools which allow designers to make application scenarios easily and quickly

6
Tools like thinking worlds are great for quickly creating 3D based decision simulations (or even simple 3D games)

7
Emergence of Personal Learning Agents

7
Intelligent personal learning software agents will emerge as learning content mediators with the emergence of Semantic Web

7
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
