Top 5 eLearning Trends Happening Now
I recently attended the Training 2016 Conference and Expo as an exhibitor. I was able to talk with many training and development representatives from a wide variety of organizations about their LMS needs. During these discussions I asked, “what aspects or features are you looking for in an LMS? What excites you?” Rather than offer a list of features the industry thinks are trending, these are the features that people told me are important to them. These top 5 features are gaining popularity in 2016 and beyond. Are they on your must-have list?
GamificationOnce again Gamification tops the list of eLearning trends for 2016, as more training departments and continuing education providers seek new methods to engage learners and increase retention. In fact, Deloitte predicts that gamification “will grow to more than a $2.8 billion business” this year. Attendees at the Training conference were especially interested in badging and leaderboards to enhance training with competition and social sharing of achievements.
