Top 7 Training Technologies Transforming the L&D Landscape in 2019

In a world where technology is advancing at lightning speed, it’s more important than ever for companies to stay ahead of the curve by leveraging the latest training technologies. In 2019, a host of innovative training tools and techniques have emerged, revolutionizing the way we deliver training and development content. Here’s our roundup of the top 7 training technologies for 2019 that you simply cannot afford to miss out on.

1. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)

These immersive technologies have taken the training world by storm, offering learners realistic, three-dimensional experiences that are difficult to replicate in a traditional classroom setting. VR and AR can be particularly useful in the areas of safety training, and new hire orientation, where employees can practice their skills in a risk-free environment.

Turning training into a fun, engaging, and interactive process is no longer a thing of the future – gamification has made it a reality. By using game mechanics like badges, points, and leaderboards, companies can tap into their employees’ natural competitive spirit, motivating them to learn and retain information more effectively. “Gamification has revolutionized our sales training program,” says one L&D professional from a Fortune 500 company.

3. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning

AI-powered platforms and machine learning algorithms are now capable of analyzing vast amounts of data to reveal insights about learner performance and preferences, allowing for more personalized and targeted training experiences. An L&D professional from a leading technology company says, “AI has enabled us to deliver truly individualized learning plans for each employee, driving better outcomes and higher engagement.”

4. Mobile Learning

With the ubiquity of smartphones and tablets, mobile learning has become an essential component of any modern training program. This technology allows employees to access training content anytime, anywhere, and on any device, making learning more convenient and flexible than ever before.

5. Microlearning

Today’s fast-paced work environment calls for training that can be easily consumed in small, digestible chunks. Microlearning fits the bill perfectly, offering short, focused learning experiences that cater to the needs of the modern learner. By breaking complex information into easily digestible bites, microlearning effectively engages and educates employees.

6. Video-Based Learning

Video has emerged as a powerful medium for delivering training content, thanks to its ability to engage and entertain learners visually. From interactive videos to video podcasts, there are countless ways to incorporate this medium into your training arsenal, providing a wealth of opportunities for creative storytelling and learning.

7. Social Learning

Learning doesn’t have to be a solo endeavor. Social learning platforms enable employees to collaborate, share knowledge, and learn from one another in real-time, amplifying the learning experience and fostering a sense of community and camaraderie among team members.
