How can mobile learning make blended classrooms more effective? It seems like, with every passing year, technology and daily life become increasingly wound together. With most learners bringing their technology with them into the classroom—either on their laptop or their smartphone—there’s less of a distinction between when classroom learning ends, and the out-of-class, self-directed learning begins.

At AECT18, I dropped in on a session summarizing research on emerging technologies for online learning. There were experts in each area, so names like Vanessa Dennan on social media, Curt Bonk in MOOCs, Florence Martin on synchronous Learning, and David Wiley on Open Education Research. And I apparently missed the nuances in the description, it was more meta-research, e.g. research on the research!

The e-Learning landscape is fundamentally changing. A while ago month I published a blog post about this change. In this blog post, I elaborated on how this transformation boils down to a shift away from content creation by instructional designers. Instead, learning content is often being generated in a more decentralized manner by the employees. I have been referring to this concept as Employee Generated Learning.

Although gamification and game-based learning have been around for a few years, only recently are training departments beginning to take these learning and engagement methods seriously.

What makes a great eLearning strategy? There’s no simple blueprint guaranteed to work; but there are recurring themes.

For long, organizations outsourced services expecting to reap the benefits of decentralization—namely, speed, agility, and cost-efficiencies. However, many pure outsourced operations risk devolving into siloed functions with opaque vendor governance and inefficient administration.
