Forecasts for 2020

Craig Weiss, Nov 01, 2019

I won't post many of these prediction posts for the end of the year, but this one is one of the first out of the gate and has the advantage of being reasonably detailed and insightful. The focus here is mostly on corporate learning, which is why we see trends such as workforce learning (hot) and performance support replacing learning (not). Some specific picks: machine learning for content curation, self-assessment for skills, and video auto-transcripts. The biggest trend, writes Weiss, will be the 'hub', where "every spoke is interconnected with the central component, the learning system." Things like virtual and augmented reality, however, will spend most of 2020 sitting on the shelf. All of this seems reasonable to me.
