Elearning 2015: what’s in store for e-learning in the year ahead?

• 1 min read

2014 was a big year in elearning – we’ve seen a rise in the adoption of SaaS, increased interest in corporate MOOCs, gamification, social learning, and mobile learning. We’ve seen recent interest in “wearable elearning” – and more and more personalization in elearning (i.e. learning tailored to proficiency level, interests, motivators etc.).

We sat down recently with some of our friends in the elearning industry, and asked what their thoughts are on the year ahead in elearning. In this post we share their insight.

2015 is going to be the year that organizations focus on their extended enterprise audiences of channel partners, distributors, customers and prospects to achieve competitive separation.  Training and certifying your extended enterprise audiences provides a measurable return on investment and a serious impact to a business.  Most talent management LMS vendors ignore this non-employee segment and as a result many new LMS vendors have evolved solutions to service this unique need with unique feature sets and pricing.  Look forward to year of heated competition and LMS vendor specialization!
