Investing in custom eLearning development is not only the coolest but also the most sensible strategy to include in the training strategy of your organization.

Working within the confines of a training budget is an experience that most training managers can relate to. Planning for training within a training budget that’s dwindling can be a nightmare.

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.

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?
