The E-Learning industry continues to grow and at the recent International Congress on elearning 2013 several key trends were identified. My Learning Space has covered the majority of these trends throughout the years, so we’ve put together what we think will continue to trend amid the elearning industry and what businesses should consider incorporating into their learning and development strategy.
You have to train your staff, but you have to do it within budget. We all work within the constraints of small budgets with big ideas, but there are ways you can reduce the cost of your e-learning budget without sacrificing content or a positive learning experience. Here’s how…
One of the first rules in designing elearning is to identify who your target learner is; knowing this will determine your approach and method. What delivery method will you use? How will it support your goals to deliver engaging, interactive content?
Everyone loves a good story and using storytelling techniques in your E-learning is a great way to connect your learners to the content and stir an emotional reaction to what they are learning.

Gartner says that by ‘2015 , more than 50% of organizations [sic] that manage innovation processes will gamify those processes’. The message then is clear; gamification needs to become part of elearning design if organisations want to train employees and achieve high levels of engagement.
One of the challenges L&D professionals face is creating keeping learners motivated to learn. Creating an elearning experience the learner will engage with is at the heart of this challenge. We know that adults learn best when motivated to learn and this is driven by their need to understand why they should learn something. So how can we keep them motivated?
Moodle is a learning management system (LMS), a software application designed using sound educational principles, to help people create effective web-based learning experiences.
A robust learning management system (LMS) should help learning professionals manage a wide range of learning functions: it will be a depository for course catalogues, schedules, certifications. It can also manage curricula, courses, tests, and surveys delivered via e-learning and online classroom environments.
Mobile learning allows your organisation to delivery training just in time and on the go. Mobile learning has many advantages; it enables learners to benefit from e-learning away from the office.
