Learning Technology 2016: Embracing Innovation
for a Better Learner Experience
The tide finally appears to be turning for learning technology. After a decade of inertia, the top learning priority for organizations surveyed in Brandon Hall Group’s 2016 Learning Technology Study is exploring new or different learning technologies. Over the next 12 months, new technologies take priority over even perennially important initiatives such as developing the learning strategy and improving the link between learning and performance. But only 20% of organizations in our research have fully mature, robust learning technology strategies governing the implementation of these solutions. This industry perspective reviews Brandon Hall Group’s latest learning technology research and puts forth critical calls for change that will make organizations more successful in implementing new technologies that will improve the learner experience.
