Top 20 eLearning Statistics For 2019 - eLearning Industry - 0 views

  • The global eLearning market was worth an impressive $107 billion in 2015 [1]. By 2025, however, Research and Markets believe that it will reach a staggering total market value of $325 billion [1]. The reasons for this explosion in value come on the back of several main drivers: the need to educate vast numbers of people at low cost, the falling price of learning solutions, the needs of the modern workforce to engage in life-long learning, and the fact that learning through an internet portal is often more convenient than going to school. The majority of the growth in the eLearning market will come from demand in developing countries.

  • eLearning could reduce employee training time by as much as 40-60% [2]. Cutting training time means that workers can spend more time doing their primary role and companies don't need to organize as much cover.
  • eLearning may boost knowledge retention by an impressive 25-60% [2]
  • Deloitte, a professional services and research company, estimates that the average employee needs to dedicate around 1% of their time per week to training. Doing this, according to Deloitte, enables the worker to stay up to date with best practices and developments in their industry. 1% of the working week isn't much time at all. It translates to 24 minutes per week or 4.8 minutes per day, assuming a 5-day working week [14]. Arranging 4.8 minutes of training per day face-to-face would be impractical. But thanks to "microlearning"— a popular buzzword in the eLearning industry—companies can now take this approach. What's more, microlearning may be even more effective than regular learning because people are better at absorbing lots of small chunks of information than they are a few larger ones.
  • Data Suggests That When Employers Spend $1,500 Per Employee Per Year On Training, They Achieve Improvements In Profit Margins Of Around 24%
  • it's the conclusion of the American Society for Training and Development after a study of more than 2,500 firms
  • Data suggests that when employers spend $1,500 per employee per year on training, they achieve improvements in profit margins of around 24% [8]. Furthermore, for every additional $680 a company spends, shareholder return rises by 6%. Investing in the knowledge capital of a company, therefore, is just as important as investing in the physical capital [8].
  • This can be accomplished easily if the company opts for a value for money LMS.
  • Figures From An Open University Study Suggest That eLearning Cuts Energy Consumption By 90% And Slashes CO2 By More Than 85%
  • 72% of organizations believe that eLearning puts them at a competitive advantage [2]. eLearning is a flexible tool that firms can use to provide them with educational support when they need it. Keeping employees apprised of changes in the market is a significant challenge for many enterprises.
  • Data from a Gallup poll in 2015 found that only 32% of employees in the US were "engaged" and that more than 51% were "unengaged" [9]
  • According to data from The Molly Fletcher Company, eLearning helps firms achieve an 18% boost in employee engagement leading to higher productivity and customer satisfaction [2].

How E-Learning Can Increase Employee Productivity | E-Learning | Training Industry - 1 views

  • Approximately 65 percent of people are visual learners and their propensity for watching videos online shows no signs of slowing down. The video component of e-learning helps to increase engagement by delivering content in a familiar, episodic fashion.
  • This ties in with microlearning, which is known to increase both engagement and knowledge retention by breaking learning down into manageable increments.
  • E-learning is scalable, and can be rolled out to more departments as the needs of the company change. As the skills needed for certain roles evolve, e-learning can be customized to specific, relevant content for employees without breaking the bank. As the saying goes, time is money, and e-learning has been shown to provide considerable savings by reducing time spent on training. It also offers savings on costs for external trainers, travel, materials and time spent out of the business. Case in point, after switching from traditional to online training, IBM delivered five times the amount of training for only one third of the cost – a saving of $200 million dollars. An IBM report found that investing in training can positively impact employee retention rates, with new employees 43% more likely to stay at a new job when training is provided

12 Emerging Educational Uses of Technology That are the Most Exciting Right Now - Emerg... - 1 views

  • The Flipped Classroom continues to emerge as one of the most exciting grassroots movements in the academic world. Teachers all across the world are trying it and loving it. Make no mistake, the flipped classroom is no “trend” – it is a clear reflection of how technology truly can be a powerful tool for educators who are inspired to do the very best by their students
  • Social Learning in Online Courses I truly believe that better incorporation of social learning is vital to making online learning more engaging. Many online programs struggle to attain retention rates similar to most in-seat programs. One of the elements generally lacking in online learning (but natural to the face-to-face classroom) is a healthy level of social interaction. When online teachers make the effort to build social interaction into the digital classroom, they create multiple opportunities to enhance engagement and improve learning outcomes.
  • Tools to Embed Questions in Videos Admittedly, this is not the kind of game changing ed tech idea that others on this list are, but I still think it is worth noting. Over the last year, EdPuzzle, EduCanon, and Zaption are a few of the tools that I have seen mentioned over and over in the ed tech social media over the last year. This capability has just ‘blown up’ over the last year or so, getting a lot of attention, and for good reason

Why Video Is The Best Medium For Microlearning - eLearning Industry - 1 views

  • Could it be possible that the medium we choose be more important to improve knowledge transfer than our beloved content that we can’t get under 30 slides? The answer is YES. As Marshall McLuhan, the great Media Philosopher, said in 1964: “The Medium is the Message.” Simply put, the medium in which you deploy content to your people is more important than the content. It’s actually crazy to think about! But let’s not get too caught up philosophizing and get to the point. Since the medium can make or break your training, which medium should you choose? The answer is VIDEO. Here are the top 3 reasons to support this claim:
  • Alignment.  75% of Millennials visit YouTube monthly. Millennials coincidentally are going to make up 75% of the workforce by 2025
  • Retention and Transfer of Knowledge.  Video is the most effective medium for communicating information in a short period of time. Most people are visual learners, so combining visual examples with audio creates a higher likelihood of knowledge transfer. Studies show that humans only retain 10% of heard information after 3 days Vs 65% when visuals are added.

  • Easily Produced.  Because of the advances in cameras and software, video is the easiest and cheapest to produce than it’s ever been.

Are institutional analytics more important than learning analytics? - eCampus News - 0 views

  • Fifty-eight percent of surveyed leaders say institutional analytics that improve operational efficiency are of greater priority than learning analytics that will improve student outcomes, according to What Will It Take to Build an Analytics-Driven Campus? Analytics priorities seem to differ by role, with presidents, CFOs, and CIOs focusing on improved learning outcomes; provosts are focused on improved retention and completion; and CTOs are concerned with improved operational efficiency.

  • Retention has reached 95 percent for fall and spring semester freshman, and placement has hit an all-time high of 99 percent. Technology has played a key role, but so did all the processes, people, leaders, and vendors. Collectively, it all works together to leverage the small investment in technology across all areas.
  • I believe technology leaders and campus technology teams can leverage a major shift by taking the 4 to 8 percent of funding they receive and using technology to leverage the appropriate growth to transform their campuses.

(PDF) Lecture capture in higher education: time to learn from the learners - 0 views

  • Of particular and recurring concern to academic staff is the assumption that access to lecture recordings will result in a decrease in attendance at lectures (e.g. Gosper et al., 2010). In most courses, attendance is not in itself a learning outcome (Newton, Tucker, Dawson & Currie, 2014), therefore the concern over attendance must be the manifestation of a deeper concern over the impact on achieving the actual learning outcomes of the course and on other aspects of student engagement. It is also worth noting that falling lecture attendance is not a new phenomenon. As Massingham and Herrington (2006) have highlighted, attendance has been seen as an issue by lecturers for decades
  • Understanding the reasons why students opt not to attend lectures can lead to useful information that can inform pedagogic practice. The reasons students give often have little to do with the availability of recorded lectures
  • Their results revealed that the most important considerations were the predicted outcome of attending the lecture (e.g., Will it facilitate my own subsequent study and learning?), the topic or subject of the lecture (e.g., Will I learn this material better by attending a lecture or by individual study?), whether the lecture will meet the students current learning needs, and personal considerations (e.g., Do I have competing commitments that I view as having a higher priority?), and whether the student had had a previous positive or negative experiences with a particular teacher. Other studies have also highlighted the central importance of the lecturer in attendance decisions.

  • Given this evidence of the value and distinct role of face-to-face lectures, concern over the wide spread replacement of lecturers with recordings would seem misplaced.
  • Similarly, Aldamen, Al-Esmail, and Hollindale, (2015) found no correlation between student attendance (as measured by attendance lists) and viewing lecture video recordings (as measured by LMS access data), for students on an introductory Accountancy course
  • Yeung, Raju and Sharma (2016) demonstrated that non-frequent attenders were also far less likely to make use of recordings to catch-up on missed classes. This is in line with the findings reported by von Konsky, Ivins and Gribble. (2009)
  • The balance of research suggests that having access to lecture recordings has either no or only a very small impact on attendance
  • studies have shown consistently that students value having access to and make use of recordings of lectures. For example, in a large survey in four Australian Universities, Gosper et al. (2010) found that 76% of students reported a positive experience with recordings, 79.9% felt that it made it easier to learn, and 66.7% felt it had improved their performance (see also McNeil et al., 2007).
  • Students use lecture recordings for a range of general purposes, for example to balance family, work, and other study commitments (e.g., Chester, Buntine, Hammond, & Atkinson, 2011; Dona, Gregory, & Pechenkina, 2017: Pons, Walker, Hollis & Thomas, 2011; Taplin, Kerr, & Brown, 2014), and as a backup for lectures that were unintentionally missed, for example, as the result of illness or transportation issues (e.g., Yeung et al., 2016; Gysbers, Johnston, Hancock, & Denyer, 2011).
  • However, the literature clearly indicates that for the majority of students the greatest value of recordings is as a learning resource. They use recordings to revisit and clarify complex confusing topics (e.g., Elliot & Neal, 2016, Yeung et al., 2016), to prepare for exams (e.g. Chen & Lin, 2012; Copley, 2007; Mallinson & Baumann, 2015; von Konsky et al., 2009), and to learn at their own pace (e.g., Cooke et al., 2011; Euzent, Martin, Moskal, & Moskal, 2011; Tarr et al., 2015). While Scutter, Stupans, Sawyer and King. (2010) do report that some students cited not having to attend the lecture in person as the most useful aspect of podcast access, this was ranked bottom behind advantages associated with personalising the learner experience including; flexibility, revision, clarification, reduced need to take notes in lectures, and simply being able to hear the lecture in full again.
  • Students learning in a second language and students who require additional learning support appear to make greater use of recordings (e.g. Leadbeater, Shuttleworth, Couperthwaite, 2013; Nordmann et al., 2017; Shaw & Molnar, 2011, Taplin et al., 2014)
  • following the Equality Act (2010). Jisc, the UK’s non-profit organisation for digital services and solutions recommends implementing institution-led lecture recording (Jisc, 2018) citing the ability to revisit content as required as the main benefit to inclusive learning.
  • For many first-year students, the university lecture format will be a new learning environment and although guidance is often provided about what they should do during lectures, it is unsurprising that these students value the opportunity to get a second chance at the lecture content when in this transitional stage.
  • in a study of medical students’ use of recordings by Topale (2016), students identified one of the major advantages of recordings as facilitating the ability to use multiple modes of learning, allowing them to view lectures, consult texts and other resources at the same time. Multimedia learning is suggested to have several pedagogic advantages linked with reductions in cognitive load (Mayer, 2005). Luttenberger et al. (2018) state that the driving force behind student satisfaction with lecture capture and podcasts are the opportunities for self-regulated learning
  • The ability to personalise the learner journey and self-regulate learning may also explain why research has suggested that the availability of lecture recordings can reduce feelings of anxiety. For example, Owston, Lupshenyuk, and Wideman (2011) report reduced anxiety when lecture capture is provided due to the ability to review the material later if any important points are missed. Similarly, in a survey conducted with Geology students, 69% agreed that the availability of lecture recordings reduced levels of student anxiety with the course (Traphagan, Kucsera, & Kishi, 2010)
  • Students frequently report that access to lecture recordings improves their learning and performance (e.g., Gosper et al., 2010) and while Ford, Burns, Mitch and Gomez (2012) found no association between access to recordings and grades, they reported that students with access were significantly more likely to report spending more hours studying, more likely to report that learning outcomes were effectively addressed, and more likely to report that they found that the course challenged them to do their best work
  • Cepeda et al. looked at lag effects (i.e., the time between learning sessions) and found that performance was best when the lag was 10-20% of the desired retention interval, for example, to remember something for one week, they recommended spacing learning episodes 12-24 hours apart whereas to remember something for 4 years, learning episodes should be 4.5-9 months apart (although they also recognise that these intervals do not necessarily align with the semesterisation of higher education and therefore recommend one month spacing for university students).
  • There has been relatively little research that has investigated the use of lecture capture as it relates to distributed practice. This may be in part due to the information that is available to researchers. Those studies that used self-reports did not report collecting information on the exact timescale of lecture capture usage across the term
  • First, students should be explicitly instructed that supplemental use is likely to produce the best outcomes.
  • Second, the concept of deep processing should be used to explain and promote that not only is supplemental use best, but selective supplemental use of recordings (rather than re-watching an entire lecture) will likely lead to better outcome
  • Finally, the concept of distributed practice should be linked to the use of lecture capture
