5 Possible E-Learning Trends for Companies in 2021
1. LXP instead of classic LMS
Learning Experience Platforms could replace classic LMS in the future, as digital learning is increasingly evolving toward the learners. Self-directed learning is becoming more relevant. Therefore, your learners need to gain more responsibility over the learning process and choose relevant learning content themselves.
2. Even More Data Analyses
Providing individualized content is only successful if there is a sufficient data basis. Therefore, large data analyses will be increasingly important for you as an HR developer in 2021.
3. Personalized Course Guidance
As learning becomes more individualized, orientation must still be maintained. Implementing digital learning companions that are always available could provide relief. This way, the learning process is not interrupted due to short questions or uncertainties.
4. Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality
Not only could learning management change in the long term. The actual learning experience could also be enhanced through AR, VR, or MR. Learners are more actively involved and experience the learning content directly in the situation.
5. User Generated Content
In the upcoming year, UGC (User Generated Content) will also be implemented by many companies. And for good reason: when your employees design learning content for their fellow colleagues, it not only saves time and money. The learning content also becomes more tailored to your company, and the commitment of the learning employees increases.
Whether these are really THE upcoming learning trends will only be seen next year. However, these possible trends illustrate that continuing education will become even more digital in 2021.
