Below is an excerpt from Kineo’s perspectives on the e-learning market in 2010:
What can we expect in 2010?
It is the first month of a new decade. Here at Kineo we have been doing some strategic thinking (and a little crystal ball gazing) on what changes the next 12 months will see. We outline here our top 5 e-learning predictions for 2010.
In Kineo we have been debating what the future holds for us in 2010. We started by having a look at the predictions from the various gurus in the e-learning world and been testing these internally.
In terms of the environment in which learning departments operate we know that:
- The pace of change continues to accelerate
- The world becomes increasingly regulated
- The volume of information will continue to grow expotentially
- Technology will change and converge including broadcast media, the internet and the mobile internet
As a consequence jobs will become more complex and require a wider range of skills, knowledge and experience.
…
- …our first prediction is a growth in e-learning expenditure across all areas with the exception of learning management systems.
- …second prediction: Moodle will continue to surge ahead in the corporate sector
- …third prediction is a continued rise in rapid e-learning solutions supported by improving tools from the likes of Articulate and the ability to create assets such as video and audio quickly and cheaply.
- So our fourth prediction is a more sophisticated use of digital resources to provide online performance support.
- There is a growing demand for anytime, anywhere learning and whilst we are not sure this will come from mobile learning (yet) our fifth prediction is a significant increase in the accessibility of online learning opportunities.
