Advances in technology grow by leaps and bounds, so it is important to know the trends that are having an impact on the E-Learning industry, in order to offer a first class course to users.

It is necessary to take into account key elements in the design of E-Learning, which makes a goodquality learning and more attractive training process in a short-term.

Here are some trends in e learning that are forging today’s electronic education system.

GAMIFICATION

The application of game mechanics has the ability to motivate and emotionally engage users with a platform.

It usually involves the use of conquests, punctuation and reward, which awakens in people the challenging desire to complete all tasks, so that they achieve their goals.

In addition, it is a well-accepted learning technique, because it is highly interactive and at the same time fun, especially when it comes to complex issues that can generate learning stress.

Gamification is increasingly used by many companies in the training process. It has been proven that a well-designed game that addresses the needs of the students, allows them to better involve each other, improve the retention rate and a better application of the topic learned at work.

MICROLEARNING

This successful technique is based on learning dynamics in clear and concise informative fragments, aimed at achieving the objectives. This system allows creating very direct and focused projects, in which great results are achieved.

Microlearning uses video as the main element. It can be easily implemented in the form of small games, infographics, quizzes and videos.

This method provides students with a better way to understand the modules quickly and also to repeat the learning lesson as many times as necessary. A great advantage of microlearning is that it can be implemented on any device.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

The advantage of using AI is that it can help predict people’s behavior. Also, supports students in their learning and in times of need.

AI behavior is based on the modules that were taken by the student and the difficulties he had to face, which helps to personalize his learning experience.

Data is collected through social networking sites, content management systems and learning management systems. This allows students to interact effectively with learning programs.

On the one hand, it allows identifying inconsistencies in the difficulty curve of a course. In addition, it can determine areas that were too simple for most users, as well as areas that seemed to hinder or delay student progress due to a level of difficulty.

VIDEO LEARNING

Video Learning is the trend of the greatest boom and growth at the international level.

This video-based learning method, by incorporating audiovisual content, transforms the training process in a fun and enjoyable way, which undoubtedly improves the student’s experience.

The popularity of video-based sites, such as YouTube, has forced organizations to adopt more audiovisual content in their training.

Some of the advantages offered by Video Learning are that learning process is faster and more effective than reading dense text content.

The user can access the content that has to learn from any device, anywhere and as many times as you want.

In addition, including interactive elements makes it an ideal way to learn and understand how to act in the face of different situations that may arise in professional life.

Video Learning generates enthusiasm in people, which increases their motivation in the content and their training.
