Working and learning in companies has changed significantly in recent months. The mmb Trend Monitor 2021 shows how the digital boom and home office are shaking up the e-learning sector. As a personnel developer or trainer, you should prepare for the following in the next three years:
What is the mmb Trend Study Learning Delphi?
The core themes of the study by the mmb Institute are trends in e-learning, regarding the next three years. A total of 61 experts from the DACH region participated in an online survey. The study regularly includes current topics, this year for example regarding the form of delivery of learning content. The mmb Trend Monitor 2020/2021 is available as a PDF for free..
The effects of the Corona crisis are also being felt by personnel developers and trainers: In-person events are hardly possible, and digital learning in companies is booming. A study by Seminarmarkt showed last year: Blended learning will be the central learning form for coaching, training, and consulting. The mmb Trend Monitor now shows the outlook for digital learning in companies for the next three years.

Why companies will rely on blended learning
With 100% agreement, blended learning is expected to be (now and in the future) a must for companies. Blended learning is not a new trend: In various studies, the mix of in-person and online learning often ranked among the top 3 of the most popular learning methods. In recent years, blended learning has replaced traditional WBTs.
Not only trainers have recognized the benefits of blended learning. More and more companies are also relying on online courses in combination with traditional training days. In light of the Corona crisis, it is not surprising that blended learning is gaining even more importance in companies.
3 reasons for blended learning in companies
Social distancing, far-reaching home office offers, and rapid digitalization favor digital learning offerings in companies. This also creates the foundation for blended learning.
What e-learning alone often cannot achieve, blended learning facilitates: Personal contact. By combining e-learning with in-person attendance, better support and cooperative learning are made possible compared to "purely digital". This is especially beneficial for employees in the unusual situation of working from home, where contact and exchange are particularly important. This is also reflected in the 70% agreement that the degree of personal support will become more important than the pure learning content for paid offerings in the future.
Blended learning is also possible without traditional in-person presence: Virtual blended learning combines e-learning with the second top learning method "virtual classrooms/webinars". This keeps companies, trainers, and participants flexible – even when in-person attendance is not possible due to spatial distances or contact restrictions.

Blended learning therefore offers companies the opportunity to provide further training both flexibly-digital and personally-present even after the end of the Corona crisis.
