E-learning is ever evolving. The online learning format has a long history of embracing various developments in the IT sector, to deliver better learning experiences, and 2017 is going to be no different. Here are 4 trending technologies that will shape the world of web-based training in the new year.
1. Increase in the Demand for Cloud-based Learning ApplicationsCloud computing tops the list of technological trends that will transform the e-learning landscape in 2017. An increasing number of companies are going for cloud-based solutions,1 including Learning Management systems (LMSs) and authoring tools.
Cost-drivers are the moving force behind the growth of cloud-based learning technologies. Unlike “traditional” e-learning tools, cloud-based technology-enabled learning applications need not be installed on a computer. This eliminates the need for expensive online learning infrastructure, reducing L&D costs. Furthermore, many providers of cloud-based digital learning applications provide flexible pricing options. However, concerns about data security in the cloud will persist in the new year.
