This is an annual get-together for users of the Mohive publishing system and Mohive partners. As we've recently become Mohive partners, we were invited along to meet everyone and talk to users first-hand. The keynote speaker was David Wilson, the Managing Director of Elearnity. If you are not familiar with them, Elearnity carry out research into what's happening in the world of corporate learning, e-learning and learning technologies. David's presentation was fascinating because he was setting out the current trends in the world of e-learning and rapid e-learning development. Interestingly, some of the current developments have not been because of the current downturn; this has simply accelerated what was already happening. So what is happening? Well, in short there is no simple answer to that. David pointed out that the two traditional models of e-learning development were fragmenting. Previously organisations tended to completely outsource their development or have a small specialist team to do development in house. Currently, those two models have largely been replaced by experimentation. Organisations seem to be trying a wide variety of new mix and match approaches that are quite difficult to categorise. So, flexibility and the willingness to try new ways of working by both organisations and e-learning vendors seems to be the order of the day. I hope to come back to this topic and write about David's findings in more detail in the next couple of weeks.
