Keep Up with Emerging
Technology Trends in E-Learning!
Change is inevitable, and trends in e-learning
are no exception. Mobile devices, multi-channel learning,
and "mashups" of many technologies make the future
of e-learning, in a word, exciting. Yet, these technological
advances are difficult—if not impossible—to keep
up with.
In what new and uncharted directions are
online learning technologies heading, and how do learning
professionals keep from falling behind?
Brandon Hall Research delivers the much-needed
answers in an engaging 344-page report by
Dr. Gary Woodill that explores 52 of the
latest and upcoming technologies used in e-learning.
"Emerging E-learning Technologies: Tools
for Developing Innovative Online Training"
highlights the new possibilities introduced by radical
changes in online technology.
Dr. Woodill places new learning technologies
in intriguing historical perspective and explains e-learning
software architectures, frameworks, and standards in an easy-to-understand
way.
This groundbreaking, one-of-a-kind guide
contains over 3,000 hyperlinks, representing hundreds of hours
of research. These links include:
- Over 1,400 selected
examples and online resources
- Almost 1,000 bibliographic
references
- Addresses for over 650
innovative companies and organizations
- Descriptions, analyses, and examples
of 52 emerging e-learning technologies
This informative report organizes e-learning
technologies into the following five groups:
- Developing e-learning technologies—those
that are still in early experimentation and prototyping
and display promise in the area
- Ascending e-learning technologies—those
that have recently become products and are currently popular
in the e-learning industry
- Peaking e-learning technologies—those
that dominate the market, today and into the next year,
leading learning experts into the future of e-learning
- Maturing e-learning technologies—those
with considerable history that now only go through incremental
updates
- Declining e-learning technologies—those
that have significantly dropped out of this ever-changing
marketplace
Some innovative examples of emerging technologies
include avatars, collaboration software, and peer-to-peer
environments.
- Avatars, or virtual
characters, represent teachers, coaches, and learners. These
technologies are particularly useful in fun, game-based
learning activities.
- Collaboration and
social software has moved e-learning from a model
of instructor-led teaching of individuals to the more engaging
learner-led finding, doing, and collaborating.
- Peer-to-peer technologies
help users share resources and collaborate interactively
in educational environments.
Dozens of other remarkable examples abound
in the report. This unique compilation of information, available
from no other source, can help your company plan a unique,
highly effective training strategy.
Anyone involved in learning—subject
matter experts, instructional designers, authors, graphic
