Technological advancements have significantly impacted the way we function and communicate in our everyday lives. A vital component of individual and organizational growth, Learning, has evolved significantly. Learning today is a realm of new technologies such as virtual reality, online course platforms, and mobility, making education more engaging and effective. The trend shows no signs of abating and learning in 2023 will evolve further with technology-enabled innovation and customization, giving learners highly personalized, and interactive learning experiences.
Here’s a forecast of the Top 5 learning trends in 2023-
Adaptive learning
A trend in education using technology to tailor content delivery and learning lifecycles for individual preferences and abilities, so learners can quickly and efficiently achieve specific learning goals. Using assessment, demographic, and profile data to gauge competencies, Intelligent Learning Delivery Platforms adapt to the learner by adjusting course difficulty levels, offering specific feedback and suggestions to speed up learning curves. Adaptive learning has the potential to significantly improve student outcomes by providing a more personalized and effective learning experience.
Artificial Intelligence
AI isn’t coming, it’s here. It’s being increasingly used to support and enhance learning processes by personalizing content and complexity levels for individual learning journeys. AI tools can analyze data on student progress and predict future learning outcomes. AI-powered Learning Delivery Platforms are an all-in-one solution for hosting, publishing, and monetizing learning content. Virtual assistants provide students with instant answers to their questions and help them access learning materials and resources. With the rapid development of AI for learning, corporates and enterprises are investing heavily in learning transformation technologies and services to speed up employee learning curves.
Augmented reality (AR) and Virtual reality (VR)
Particularly effective for higher education involving subjects that are difficult to teach through traditional methods, AR and VR is used to create immersive and interactive learning experiences. Simulated environments, which can portray complicated models, help learners grasp abstract concepts, and virtual spaces facilitate collaborative learning to complete tasks and projects. The reduction in the cost of AR and VR technologies and rapid advancement has led to wider adoption. Overall, the use of AR and VR in education is a growing trend poised to improve student engagement and outcomes significantly.
Mobile Learning
Increasingly used as an on-the-go learning medium, mobile devices are going to be the top choice of learners in 2023. Making courses responsive and mobile-friendly while ensuring accessibility will determine increase in user outreach. The mobile learning trend is making education more accessible and flexible, allowing learners to progress at their own pace and from anywhere. Video is popular medium for mobile learning. The use of interactive, animated, and bite-sized videos to deliver learning is a trend that will continue to gain momentum.
Microlearning
A learning approach that has gained popularity in recent years due to its flexibility and effectiveness. Microlearning or learning content and delivery optimized for length, allows learners to access small, focused pieces of information or training in short bursts. These are designed to be easily absorbed, retained, and immediately applied by the learner, such as short courses, interactive modules, videos, social media posts, etc. Convenient and accessible, they can be delivered through various channels and made available on-demand from any device. Corporates and educational institutions leverage expert Learning and Content Services to transform their training content and delivery to this trending approach.
