2023 Trends for Online Learning
Online courses and programs are constantly evolving and improving. Here are some of the biggest learning trends you should know about.
Blended learning for Corporates
Blended learning is a great way to incorporate continuous learning into your learning and development strategy. The majority of the learning can be done independently, to then bring your team together to discuss what they’ve learned. This also encourages team members to ask questions which can further aid understanding.
Microlearning (Mini-Courses) or Low Cost Offers
Microlearning is an effective form of online learning and has become incredibly popular in the education and corporate sectors due to its effectiveness. It believes in dividing lessons into shorter segments based on the insight that people cannot retain attention for too long.
The smaller segment strategy reduces the duration of each training, making it easier for people to adjust to their routines. Microlearning will be the focal point of eLearning trends for 2023, so it is best to add it to your training curriculum or product offers.
Soft-Skills Courses
It’s important for schools and businesses to recognise the opportunities in teaching students and employees ‘soft skills. Soft skills, meanwhile, are typically personal or social in nature. They are often referred to as ‘traits’, which makes them seem like something a student or employee must inherently possess. But in truth, these qualities are frequently very teachable, and more and more schools and businesses are becoming interested in teaching them, and measuring students’ progress in learning and applying them.
Critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, emotional intelligence, collaboration, adaptability and more, are all soft skills that have been recognised as critical for modern society. These ‘soft skills’ are known to be excellent attributes for employees, managers, business owners and leaders.
Less is more
Keeping it simple is a definite trend, with ease of access to key topics of discussion. People have had enough of too many choices clouding judgments and complicating learning experiences.
Ultimately, there are many potential opportunities to leverage online learning for business owners and education providers in 2023. Find out what works and what doesn’t within the context of your own business and environment. You will start to identify priorities that will help push your business forward in this space.
