Enterprise Education: Top 20 Trends in Enterprise Education

Enterprise Education: Written by Joe DiDonato on April 14, 2011

In preparation for a more in-depth article in our next issue of Elearning! Magazine, I thought I’d pull the ‘trends’ table from the article I wrote entitled, The Top “Must Haves” in your next LMS.”

How did we come up with the list?  We used our unique perspective and our editorial staff to look back a decade to see what had dominated the landscape.  We then compared it to current practices to see if there was any movement – either up or down.  We then projected that movement forward to come up with this initial list.

What do you think of the list?  We would love to hear your feedback:

  1. 80% classroom based
  2. 80% formal
