Ryan Eudy, the CEO of ej4, an award-winning e-Learning company, writes: "There's an old French proverb: 'The more things change, the more things stay the same.' When we look at trends in the e-learning and training industries it is especially true. Leading an e-learning company, I have seen many different approaches to training programs, creating content and delivering the final product. Every few years, like clockwork, people become convinced that they have to adopt some new technology or risk falling behind the latest trends."

eLearning Industry
Instructional design is a multi-faceted discipline, and — let's face it — a lot is asked of instructional designers. We need to have adult learning theory and learning models at our fingertips, be data detectives, sharp interviewers and writers who can weave a story, not to mention detail-oriented, process-oriented, organized pros. Yet the one essential skill for IDs in corporate training and Learning and Development is rarely taught in schools.

According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, in 2007 approximately 38i percent of enrolled undergraduate students were over the age of 24ii. Add the millions of adult students in graduate school and the percentages increase even more. Given this shift in student demographics, educators may need to rethink their teaching practices to ensure that they meet the learning styles and needs of their adult student population.

With so many opportunities available abroad, even a small piece of the training pie can prove valuable for U.S.-based training companies looking to expand.

The folks at Class Central just released their data on the growth of online courses in 2015 and the data is amazing. More than 35 million people have enrolled in online courses in the last four years, and 2015 enrollments doubled from 2014. (That's equal to one out of five working professionals in the U.S.!) Today there are more than 4,200 MOOC courses available (many more if you include the corporate training programs from companies like Udemy, BigThink, Pluralsight, Lynda, NovoEd and Skillsoft). These academic-authored programs cover many topics, and are expanding into general business areas more each year. The most popular courses continue to be computer science and other engineering related subjects, but it's expanding.

Education systems are complex and have never been easy to govern. Recent changes, including decentralisation of systems and further recognition of the role of education for societal values, economic performance and personal development are adding to the complexity. Roles and responsibilities of public authorities, schools, higher education institutions and other agencies are shifting and new demands are being placed on education systems to adapt to the changing needs of society and the economy.

Despite a record number of students taking online higher education courses, many of those entering for the first time often have incorrect preconceived notions of online learning's extreme flexibility — and it's this notion that may lead to high dropout rates.
