Workplace Training Trends for 2016

Training Industry's winter quarterly publication has a "futuristic" article examining the following workplace training trends they have identified for 2016:

• A growing number of technologies or apps will help to "boost" transfer of learning from the classroom to on-the-job (aka performance support)

• Continued research into neuroscience to enhance learning outcomes and breaking the 'paradigms' of classroom and online training

• Curated learning allows the learner to identify and partake in the training they deem appropriate for themselves

• Properly preparing SMEs to be instructors in order to get the best information from the most-qualified authorities

• Video will be the dominant approach to mobile learning delivery

• Corporate training organizations will continue to use independent training professionals instead of carrying fixed staff for variable activities (like ISD) YAY!
