E-learning in 2014
E-learning continues to be an important learning strategy. In previous years, we have shared similar news, such as Perspectives elearning 2013, and e-Learning Trends 2012.
Many of these ideas and trends of recent years have prevailed, but with new innovations. We continue talking about:
- Mobile learning or m-learning as a result of the extended use of portable devices.
- Video-learning: the use of videos (now with greater quality and better design) as learning resources, with today’s greater connectivity.
- Social learning: social networks, emphasis on collaboration, participation and co-participation.
- Multi-platform contents, which should be visualized in any platform or device.
We also have new trends:
- MOOCS (Massive Open Online Courses), which have gained inmense popularity and also have generated much debate in favor and against MOOCS.
- Gamification: badges, points, rewards, new apps, games as a learning strategy.
- Tin Can API standard (evolution of SCORM standard), related to multi-platform contents and m-learning, which allows follow-up of students’ online and offline activities.
Technologies are always changing and it is imposible to predict all the innovations that will appear, taking into account that at the same time, learning methodologies and models in e-learning should also evolve.
