WHAT ARE THE TRENDS IN
E-LEARNING?
GAMIFICATION
GAMIFICATION

 Games are exciting and

create a lasting impact.
 They are interactive –
drawing out even the most
reluctant learner to
experience, do and learn.
 Games foster the spirit of
competition and that in turn
fosters learning.
GAMIFICATION

 Another big advantage of

gamification is that it provides
the learners an opportunity
to learn by doing.
 Games can re-enforce
learning by providing
challenging activities to the
learner. They can make them
think about what they ‘know’
and prod them to apply it into
practical scenarios.

 Wearable tech devices give

learners the opportunity to
interact with the subject

way.
 They also make eLearning
more accessible and
engaging for your audience,
even those who don’t usually
have the time to receive
formal training.

 Augmented reality becomes

an integral part of online
education.
 The main booster of
augmented learning will be
virtual reality and its
accessibility. People will be
able to enhance their online
education with visual and
auditory perception.

 Always perceived as tools of

promotion, social media can
become a strong amplifier on
the way to personalization,
because they are a means of
direct communication with
users.
SOCIAL MEDIA

 One of the dramatic

examples of this trend is
Twitter. This social media
network has been ranked #
1 in the list of «Top 100
Tools for Learning» for 7
years in a row since 2009.
SOCIAL MEDIA

“For me Twitter gives access to smart

people who provide an enormous wealth
of information and insight through their
commentary and links to research, articles
and other resources.” –
-Charles Jennings, 2015
