INTRODUCTIONThe business atmosphere today is fast-paced, knowledge-driven, and highly competitive. Top talent is a critical asset now more than ever. As technological innovations continue to streamline the way we work, communicate, and learn, organizations are increasingly pressured to upgrade their training programs to boost the quality and competitiveness of their workforce.
It’s no surprise that eLearning has been rapidly overtaking traditional methods, not only in academic sectors, but also in corporate training. Factors such as cost-e�ciency (compared to traditional methods) and flexibility in learning are driving its continued industry growth. Technology market research firm Technavio predicts that the global corporate eLearning market will grow steadily at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 11% by 2020.
That means that eLearning is e�ectively allowing organizations to advance their human resource training and development strategies. But with disruptive technologies and continuously shifting priorities, things can get complicated.
This eBook of training technologies available today and focus at the top eLearning trends for 2017 to understand the direction that the industry is moving towards:

MOBILE LEARNINGWe turn to our mobile devices and expect information to be available on-demand. Gone are the days of being tied down to desktop computers and telephones, as the number of remote and on-the-go professionals continue to rise. Being an e�cient delivery method for information, mobile learning is transforming corporate training for today’s increasingly mobile workforce.
With the steady increase of smart device ownership and its use in the corporate setting, mobile learning remains the mainspring of the eLearning trend. It is an e�cient delivery method of solutions to problems professionals may face throughout their day. With mobile learning, employees can build knowledge and skills just by dedicating a few minutes on their mobile learning app when they’re sharpest mentally and with minimal preparation time.

MICRO-LEARNING
In 2017, eLearning training programs will shift from long courses to bite-sized resources to better suit the fast paced world we live in.
Long sessions, sti� workshops, and huge manuals have hindered many busy professionals from taking advantage of their corporate training programs. Today’s employees are distracted, overwhelmed, and impatient—but the concept of delivering content in small bursts, made possible through mobile devices and the Internet, is allowing training providers to see just how beneficial micro-learning can be for corporate training.
People today are more keen toward quick snippets of information. Micro-learning provides structure to deliver training content in a way that fits how people communicate, inform, and learn: short, relevant, and contextualized.
There will be a shift from long courses to bite-sized resources.“ “

PERSONALIZEDLEARNING Static learning no longer matches today’s habits.
Professionals come in all shapes and sizes, as should training programs. This may not have been possible in traditional classroom settings, but personalized or adaptive eLearning programs are becoming all the rage. Moving away from the one-size-fits-all strategy, personalized learning intends to address specific needs, interests, and aspirations of individual learners.
In traditional methods of training, professionals learn from the same materials at the same pace, and mostly at the same place. In this new, adaptive eLearning model, individuals learn based on what they already know, what they need to know, and what has worked for other learners like them.
Successful eLearning programs consider:

BLENDED LEARNINGBlended learning goes beyond eLearning and traditional face-to-face training, combining di�erent media to provide a well-rounded experience for corporate learners. But many of today’s eLearning only works parallel to other forms of training, risking a disconnect between the programs.
The future of blended learning is moving toward an integrated experience that features a central repository of training materials for self-directed learning, guided telephone lessons, writing practices, and face-to-face lessons that will help streamline training for busy professionals.

SOCIAL LEARNINGSocial learning has been around for some time. In fact, 70:20:10—a popular model for learning and development developed in the 1980s—holds that 20 percent of corporate learning comes from social interaction. This model serves to inspire many organizations to consider non-formal learning as part of their programs.
Compared to formal training, social learning is a much more impromptu form of education. Now that technology is mature enough to address concerns such as tracking and recognition, it has brought the possibilities of social learning into the limelight.
Social learning hasn’t reached its potential adoption rate yet, but as eLearning technology advances from static programs to more collaborative environments, social learning opportunities open up.
According to a 2016 research by Brandon Hall Group, exploring social and collaborative tools is the top learning and development priority over the next year.

GAMIFICATIONGamification is a game-changer in corporate training technologies. It takes motivation and engagement to a whole new level. There are many game-based learning applications for consumers, but gamification for corporate training is also on the rise. Gamification not only makes training gratifying and enjoyable for professionals, it can also simulate the real-life application of new skills.
Gamification and virtual reality enhance the learning experience by focusing on the engaging elements of games such as themes, strategies, and aesthetics to facilitate learning.
In 2017, the question organizations will be asking will shift from “what is gamification?” to “how can we implement gamification?”
According to a study by The eLearning Guild on the impact of gamification on adult learners, participants in gamified eLearning programs scored:
In a survey focusing on gamification, TalentLMS found that: the most preferred gamification techniques are:
