Trends In Learning Content Management

摘要

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the latest trends in technology-delivered learning. Design/methodology/approach - An interview with Fabrizio Cardinali, co-chair of European Learning Industry Group (ELIG) and CEO of Giunti Labs. Findings - Greater emphasis on increasingly informal and personalised content and learning experiences is producing increases in "just-in-time", informal, personalised, customised pieces of learning content, combining to produce "just-in-time", informal, personalised, customised learning experiences. The increasing use of mobile and location-based content delivery means that learning is becoming localised and personalised. There is a growth in informal access to learning via portals and software-as-a-service (SaaS) systems. This means that the learning content can now be customised by the learner rather than the developer or producer. With the development of digital marketplaces, a network of content providers operating as "learning clearing houses" has grown up. They take content, version it, deliver it and track it once it has been delivered. Practical implications - Today's big challenge facing providers of corporate learning materials is how to enrich existing standards for learning content publishing and distribution such as SCORM - especially adding web services protocols to content packages making the learning experience richer and more personalised. Other challenges relate to how to develop web-based services to search, query and retrieve repositories of learning content. Originality/value - This paper explores the latest trends in technology-delivered learning, especially as they affect national and international competitiveness.
