E-learning trends for 2015 include lowering the knowledge asymmetry between learners and trainers, addressing lower learner attention levels, and applying insights from neuroscience on new learning strategies and attention to learners. Other trends involve strategic use of gamification elements, recognizing mobile learning differs from e-learning on tablets, phasing in cloud services based on real needs, and personalizing learning so everyone finds value rather than thousands of courses. Additional trends are emphasizing communication over labeling learners as participants, using smart courses with integrated resources and practice focus, analyzing learning tasks based on business needs, and architecting systems for cost savings and speed of learning and application.
