The use of video by students for assignments is on the rise, at 69% this year, up from 59% in 2017. Video feedback on student assignments is also growing and is now used by more than a third of institutions (35%) – up from 27% last year – perhaps due to the growth in remote learning.

Digital literacy remains high on the agenda as a critical skill for today’s students in an era of fake news and 95% view video as an important part of digital literacy; 97% feel it is important to continue to raise the level of digital and video literacy among both teachers and students. The good news is that 83% of students are already considered to be highly digitally literate, with teachers snapping at their heels with 78%.

97% think that interactive videos, which encourage engagement and help students to learn, will be important; similarly, 97% anticipate that self-paced curricula and personalised learning paths will be of considerable value to many students; and 94% see predictive analytics as a game changer in education

The study also found that video has a positive impact on student achievements (84%), on increasing educator collaboration and professional development (83%), and on streamlining the onboarding process for new students (80%).

Furman said once he’s examined a product, he brings in a small team of teachers — typically one from each grade level — to test it.

Once the test team approves, he then has a group of teacher ambassadors train their colleagues and advocate for the new tool

The CLR is a digital record that institutions can use to document academic and co-curricular learning. Resources such as co-curricular transcripts, digital badges, and e-portfolios are CLR examples that showcase a range of campus activities including service, leadership, cultural competence, and other learning opportunities for students. These types of engagements, some of which could be labeled as high-impact practices, help students develop skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and communication, all of which benefit them in both classroom and real-world situations.

In addition to spurring collaboration, the CLR is a meaningful mechanism for connecting data that are sometimes less integrated. For example, the University of South Carolina's Beyond the Classroom Matters project has a co-curricular transcript component, which the institution uses to gather data about students' level of engagement. Professionals from the offices of the registrar, student affairs, and academic affairs worked together to establish a catalog of approximately 150 co-curricular engagements for which students can enroll. As students complete activities, the university displays those experiences in the CLR. The university also connects institutional data to CLR data in order to monitor students' progress and identify positive outcomes.

the most important benefit of CLRs is that they enable students to narrate the full range of their knowledge, skills, and abilities. As students prepare for life after college, it will be important for them to answer the simple question: What did you learn? Students who possess a CLR will have had many opportunities to reflect on the variety of experiences they've had and respond in ways that clearly articulate an integrated experience.

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].
