E-Learning, Mobile Learning, Social Learning – are these the training trends for the upcoming year? You should prepare for THESE trends and changes for 2022 to continue offering successful e-learnings!

New year, new learning trends? I would say: Maybe. The pandemic has shown us that the trend towards digital work and learning definitely remains! E-Learning and digital teamwork are more important than ever. On the other hand, concepts for implementing this sensibly are lacking everywhere. And that’s precisely what the trends for 2022 are about: implementing new methods as comprehensive concepts.

Digital Training 2022: The content matters!

Over the years, not only have the framework conditions of training changed, the way of learning is completely new. We increasingly observe that trainers move away from rigid in-person training and focus more on the needs and problems of their learners.

Pre-packaged e-learnings are a thing of the past. There’s no time for that in our stressful work lives anymore! We need learning content that fits us and our individual requirements and capabilities (or explicitly promotes these). In short: Learning of Need or learning on demand.

Learning of Need – Rethinking learning and aligning it with needs

• Just in Time: Learning content must be delivered precisely when employees need it in their workflow.

• Re- and Upskilling: Learners need different skills than a few years ago to deal with the increasingly digitalized working world.

• Data-based learning: Knowledge content is no longer pre-made but tailored specifically for one learner or a learning group.

• Remote Learning: Learning is becoming more flexible in terms of location and will increasingly move away from traditional in-person teaching.

New Trends in Training for the Upcoming Year

Training in 2022 means that we will experience a shift from formal to informal learning. We are increasingly saying goodbye to traditional in-person training sessions, where a trainer or coach gives a lecture. The learners themselves will be actively involved and shape the training.

The learning content itself is also coming more into focus and should, ideally, create a varied e-learning experience with the right mix of media. Digital learning content should also be accessible anytime and anywhere. As in many other areas, the motto here is: Mobile First!

Proven E-Learning Methods That Are Important in 2022

For individual and flexible training, you naturally need the right methods in the coming year as well. In our blog, we have often talked about various e-learning methods and techniques – after all, e-learning is not just e-learning! The following digital training methods will be especially important in 2022:

| Microlearning | The perfect all-rounder | Create small, self-contained learning units that fit into any workday. || ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- || Video-based Learning | Provides variety | Use moving images in your courses to keep excitement and motivation high. || Gamification | More fun while learning | Ensure joy in learning by playfully integrating small knowledge checks. || Social Learning | Connects your learners | Don’t leave your participants alone and focus on interactions and exchange. || Adaptive Learning | Considers learning preferences | Say goodbye to rigid online courses and adapt them to your participants. |

You see: most new trends are increasingly moving towards individuality and flexibility. Learning must always fit into the learners' daily lives! Correspondingly, proven methods remain in place that focus on the learners. We want to emphasize that in the coming year 2022, we do not have to reinvent the wheel: with a mix of new approaches and established methods, contemporary digital training will succeed.
