Learning Trends
I was looking at the Learning Trends and I looked at the work of several people like Bill Kutik, Masie and Mary White.
While most of the literature point to the growing use of e learning and web 2.0 tools, I was impacted by the numbers that more and more people are enjoying convenience in fulfilling their various goals in life including that of obtaining education. Increasingly more and more educational institutions are now offering online degree programs in response to the speed of life and unavailability of time.
Online learning is gaining ground in the different parts of the world but is more popular than ever in the United States. A report revealed that online enrollment in the U.S. rose from 1.98 million in 2003 to 2.35 million in 2004.
Flexibility in the delivery of online education has resulted in more people adopting e learning. The technology used since the introduction of e – learning has also dramatically improved. Current technology fuelled by web 2.0 tools allows greater interaction, social networking and flexibility. The costs have also become more affordable to most people.
A study by the American Society for Training and Development revealed that an estimated 29 percent of corporate tuition reimbursements go to online or blended programs.
Have you ever taken an on-line learning programme? If you have not, try one now.
