    The e-Learning industry is ever-evolving. 2016 was a transformative year as corporate learning saw a significant increase in demand and adoption of digital workplace training tools.

According to recent reports, successful gamification programs promote engagement and have been shown to increase scores in skill-based knowledge assessments by 14% and in fact-based assessments by 11%. They also increase retention rates by 9%.
    • Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR) – VR and AR is the next big thing in learning. Recent research states that 95% of respondents believe VR could be useful for enhancing training. Simulated and virtual environments offer an immersive learning experience. The device provides a simulated experience that is readily available and compatible with smartphones and other devices.
    • Big Data – There is an increase in the use of big data along with the growth of adaptive learning. To gain valuable insights into learning behaviors and preferences, a variety of Learning Management Systems are built by using analytic tools. To analyze learner’s training patterns or their preferences,  a more personalized approach is provided to the user by using efficient analytical tools.
    • Personalized Learning / Adaptive Learning – Competency-based learning is a fast-growing tool used in education and workplace training. Personalized learning helps individualize the learning experience, while addressing personal learning needs. This seems to be a growing trend that is causing entities like Digital Publishing Service Providers to take notice.
    • Social e-Learning – Social learning is catching up as social media allows real time interaction between learners. Social media allows exchange of complex information permitting immediate interaction between learners distant from each other. In most organizations, social learning and informal learning happens around e-Learning experiences.

    E-Learning trends such as m-Learning, micro-learning, social learning, video learning and gamification aren’t new in the industry, but their adoption and growth are seeing an upward swing.
