Learn About The eLearning Trends In 2020
December is the time to start work on my eBook and article on trends for the upcoming year. This eBook, eLearning trends In 2020–Featuring Tips on How You Can Leverage Them for Learning, Performance Gain, and Behavioral Change, is my 10th release on eLearning trends along with related articles (mobile learning, microlearning, and gamification). Every year, as I undertake this exercise, I try to use a distinctive thread to connect my list of eLearning trends and predictions.
eBook Approach
During the last year, we have seen a considerable shift in the way online training is being designed and delivered. It aligns better with what the learners want (short, focused, on-the-go, on-demand, available within their workflow, and so on).
It also marks a significant shift in the way L&D teams are looking at the training delivery to match what the learners want and the gain businesses want to see. There is a higher focus in looking at efficacy, impact, and ROI of the training. Several strategies show maturing, moving away from hype to showcasing real value.
This is the thread I have used to create my eBook:
- It is designed as a guide to help you assess which trend would match your needs and what value it will offer.
- All the featured trends map the expectations or mandates of the 3 key stakeholders (that is, learners, businesses, and L&D teams).
- I also evaluate each trend against the characteristics of workplace learning that we will see in 2020, highlight which of the trends are “must-have” or “must plan to invest,” and discuss which ones will shape the future of the workplace learning.
- I have also added interesting quotes and stats on each trend that clearly reaffirm its value today and in the near future.
Here’s what Christopher Pappas, founder of eLearning Industry has to say about my eBook:
As an L&D professional, I’m genuinely interested in the significant features of modern workplace eLearning. This eBook manages to present the eLearning trends that will shape the future of eLearning with an exciting approach. It will help you create better training experiences for your employees in 2020. And, it will also assist you in aligning your training goals with your business needs.
