Mobile phones are proving to be a perfect medium for microlearning.
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)
Thanks to great strides attained in technology, learning through AR and VR has become a more accessible and comfortable experience. Many instructor-led-training courses are now on either VR or AR, because of the immersive learning experience they promise. Creating, duplicating environments like a laboratory, a hospital room, a factory or a construction site is just what we need for safe trial and error learning.
Gamification
As more young learners are moving from classroom learning to online learning, gamification is an inevitable engagement trend. Elements like badges, points, ranks and leader boards are proving to be great eLearning incentives. Many eLearning mobile apps are now using better visuals and adding more game-like challenges to engage. This is where VR and AR are breaking boundaries.
Personalized learning
As learning needs evolve, eLearning companies are set to track individual learning patterns and make way for customized, user-friendly learning. The learners will have greater control on what they learn, how they learn it and what learning speed works best for them. These learners can then be better evaluated by educational institutions or companies in comparison to generalized training methods.
