What are the key trends of e-Learning?
There are basically 2 important trends in of e-Learning; one is the increasing learning needs i.e. all the competitive pressures that requires us to learn faster and more cost-effectively. The old learning and training models that are instructor and classroom-based simply cannot keep up with the increasing speed of technological change and shrinking product life cycles faced by companies today. The second trend in e-Learning is the growth of enabling technologies particularly the great number of tools that we can now use to create high quality digital content. We are also seeing continuing improvements in hardware and software of all kinds and portable wireless devices that will increasingly be used for learning. The future of e-Learning will be especially interesting as we move into the new era of wireless broadband which will allow audio and video streaming on thin light-weight portable devices.
