Learning Technologies was certainly bigger and probably better than ever in 2017. Certainly, the stands were bigger. But it was also clear the industry has moved on in terms of innovation and technologies. The exhibition revealed a wider variety of products than ever before with new platforms for gamification, virtual world learning and micro-learning on show. Existing vendors were also not to be outdone with much talk about new integration solutions.<\/p>\n

Particularly noticeable was the effect of the new learning standards. Looking around at the new technologies on display, it seems that the old SCORM solutions, whilst still respected, are finally being swept aside if you\u2019re to be part of learning in the new age. Today\u2019s new solutions are all about making gamification happen, interoperability and micro-learning.<\/p>\n

This was certainly the experience on the Netex stand. Learning Stories created a huge amount of interest. There was real interest in its structural gamification methodology, prompted in part, no doubt, by Mike Byrne\u2019s seminar. We asked Mike his view on the big changes at the show; he suggested that we are moving into a transitional time in learning. As mobile has become more of a lifestyle choice, it is influencing us as learners prompting us to change our consumption habits away from the traditional course formats.
