Here at Your Everything for e-Learning Place, we’re keeping our eyes on the latest e-Learning trends. We see what’s popular, what’s effective and what you should totally jump in on. Today, I’m going to share a few of these trends with you—because what fun would it be if we kept all the news to ourselves?Take a look at the trends we’re watching right now:
Cool customized coursesOne of the biggest misconceptions about online training is that it has to be boring and bland. Of course, you and I know that’s not true. Lately, we’ve been seeing a lot of creative ways that e-Learning developers have made ordinary courses more engaging and memorable. For example. with Lectora® e-Learning software, you can do a lot of cool stuff, like using CSS to style your course or using jQuery to customize your course.Mobile performance supportDesigning mobile-friendly courses takes extra time and thought, so you really want to make sure that a mobile course is the best format for your e-Learning. One great use for mobile training that we’re seeing a lot in the e-Learning world is performance support. Employees can access training materials even if they’re out of the office on a business trip. There’s a reason mobile performance support is trending now. Just be sure you choose a mobile solution that’s up for the task.Adding video to your trainingGood online training programs are engaging. Video is a great way to engage multiple senses in your course, illustrate a complex point or break up a text-heavy section of a course. It’s becoming more and more popular, and with Camtasia® (included in Lectora® Inspire), it’s easy to add the videos you want. But what if you’re on a tight budget? You can always create your own e-Learning video.Authoring in the cloudThat’s right—your whole e-Learning team can collaborate anywhere, anytime in the cloud. And along with being awesome for teamwork, cloud authoring has tons of other benefits.
