eLearning Trends And Predictions For 2018

We are going through a phase of significant and rapid “learning transformation“. This has led to an adoption of new, immersive approaches to creating impactful learning that can lead to the required performance gain. This is not all. We also see that L&D teams are on the look-out for measures to evaluate the effectiveness of learning.

As a Chief Learning Strategist, I have been part of many such opportunities across the world. The pointers shared by me here reflect my insights from this close interaction and collaboration.

For ease of applicability, I have banded various trends and predictions in 2018 into 3 tracks:

  1. What will continue to offer value
  2. Coming of age – An increase in adoption
  3. Emerging or maturing – Watch out for

    Section 1 – What Will Continue To Offer Value

    mLearning Or Mobile Learning

    Usage of mLearning or Mobile learning adoption in corporate training saw a significant increase in 2017 and this trend will continue. With the maturing of authoring tools that are completely responsive, BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) flexibility in training policy will see an even more effective use of mLearning or mobile learning in 2018.

Reskilling the workforce and reforming learning and career models will play a critical role in facilitating this change.  The question remains if that will be provided by the traditional internal HR/L&D team or some other model.

We discuss

  1. Will AI/ML replace or augment organisational capability? How far is AI/ML from reaching human level intelligence?
  2. What are practical implications of the increased use of AI/Machine Learning on our day to day work?
  3. What will be its impact on HR/L&D? What new skills will they need to acquire to handle these new drivers of employment & organisational learning?
