The year 2018 has been quite hectic for eLearning with newer trends taking traction. What will unfold in 2019? What are the key trends to watch out for in the coming year? I will share my thoughts on the same in this article.

I've seen a couple of recommendations for tools and software on here seperately. I'm a freelance Instructional Designer, in my first year as an independent. I'm finding tools here and there, as I'm trying to minimize operating costs where possible. Individually it seems that many ID's and consultants have their favorite go-to tools that they know. I think it would be really great for us to pull together a list of free ID tools into one area. For example, someone in this group recommend Jing as an alternative to Snagit. I used Xmind the mindmapping tool for needs assessment and topic analysis. posted by Erin Gratton What recommendations do you have fellow ID's?

"Maybe you're new to the e-Learning industry, and all of this online training development language is unfamiliar to you-or maybe you've been in the industry for years, and you're always discovering new trends and techniques to make your e-Learning development even better. Either way, if you've thought "Hmm, that's a new term!" recently, then this post is for you! "

The newest version of eLearning protocol is upon us - are you ready to take the the plunge? For those of you who don't know yet, the eLearning protocol SCORM is going through a massive make-over, specifically from SCORM v1.2/2004 to what is currently being labeled as Tin-Can API. The overhaul is so significant that it will likely reshape the way we record, track, and administer eLearning for years to come. Admittedly, this change will take some time to gain momentum, but with early adopters such as Articulate (and the less vocal Adobe Captivate) jumping on board, all the pieces are in place for this new standard to flourish. So what's so different about Tin-Can compared to the previous standards?

Have you heard of Opus Pro? At this post I will reveal the secret that was well kept since 1995! elearning Brothers - eLearning games, challenges, flash templates, and development Well Kept Secret since 1995 Opus Pro is a multi-faceted development tool which has been around for over 15 years and yet you've probably never heard of it as it has only recently focussed on the elearning market. It has a wide range of uses from interactive presentations to database applications but throughout its history it has been used regularly for training materials - especially simulations of everything from rig management software to artillery gunnery. It seems that the developers of Digital Workshop have worked closely with customers to understand their actual requirements and base the new features on making those easier to achieve. The result is a set of unusual features to provide everyday requirements automatically and yet offer the flexibility to make even sophisticated functions easy.

Trends in Learning Technologies to Watch in 2013 Social/Informal Learning, Mobile Learning, Video - these three items have been "hot" for several years now, both in education and the corporate sector.

Barriers include cost, technology issues still not resolved, confusion about the differences between formal and informal learning, design factors, cultural factors, concerns about security, etc. http://elearningindustry.com/subjects/general/item/423-trends-learning-technologies-2013

Open source Learning Management Systems have become extremely popular in recent years, but what does open source mean? Open Source technology is technology where the source code is "open", that is, the code is available to the public and free to be modified. Improvements can be made by developers and it can be spread or sold to the wider community. So, why should an organization choose an open source Learning Management System as opposed to a homegrown or proprietary LMS?

I am preparing a presentation on the future of e-learning for HE education. Any suggestions on best technologies? What do you think will be here in 5 years and has a good pedagogical basis? David Goodman said: What does the future learning technologies look like for the northerm hemisphere vs the southern? West vs East? rich vs poor? A polticial question - does everyone wish that others have an improved learning experience? Education is an economic, job unemployment, citizen compliance, conformance, etc. issue. Having left my soapbox of babble - I would like to see a visual, immersive board that is haptic and responsive to my learning whims. My learning world will change as I touch a topic, reference, picture, sound, etc - that may all be related or not.I would like to become a hologram sitting in a virtual environment listening and seeing Homer with discussions going on with many others who debate him on his philosophy as it pertains to us today. Dreaming is OK with me.

One of the greatest struggles I see with Instructional Designers is trying decide which rapid authoring tool to purchase and spend their limited time learning. Generally, it's a choice between Articulate, Captivate and Camtasia Studio with Camtasia running a distant third (unless software demos make up the bulk of the training). In the past I would have agreed that Camtasia would not have been my first choice for true e-learning but with the two most recent releases of this software I've found it to be the perfect tool for not just software demos but also soft skills and compliance training. If you'd like to see some of the e-learning I've developed with Camtasia Studio over the past couple of years Please join me, Camtasia specialist Lon Naylor and Elearningindustry.com/ site founder Christopher Pappas on Sept 25th for a free Webinar called "Camtasia Studio 8 E-learning Case Studies".
