learning.
The world of online learning is constantly evolving to
meet the needs of students. Below are a few recent
trends in online learning.
-Mobile learning. Also known as mLearning, mobile
learning allows individuals to access training resources
on any device. The mobile learning industry is
expected to be worth more than $37 billion by 2020.
 -Video learning. Video learning has become much
more prevalent in recent years, as it captures the
attention of visual learners. Whether in the form of
textbook videos or recorded lectures, video
educational materials are reaching more and more
learners through platforms such as YouTube.
-Interactive learning. Although online learning
increases access to educational materials, it is still
essentially a passive mode of learning. To be more
effective, online learning should incorporate interaction
by allowing students to collaborate with other learners,
participate in conversations, and upload examples of
their work.
