RESOURCE: ELearning Evolution The Past 10 Years
What I find most interesting with the progress over the years are how the technology is just now starting to impact methodology of content delivery.By this I mean that the technology has allowed us to think more creatively about how we deliver learning material to a group of individuals. Flipped classrooms and blended learning approaches are being implemented in early education and university settings all over the world now that the technology is available to make it possible.The growth of the industry is poised to continue as new ideas become possible now that the infrastructure (and knowledge capital) is at a point to support them. The next few years will be somewhat of a golden era for elearning as the market is flooded with these concepts.
