Summary
What’s “hawt” in eLearning? Video or video-based learning is the hawtest of them all. Microlearning is bite-sized, chunks of training or instruction that are less than 10 minutes in length. Mobile learning (also called mLearning) means you are using your celly to learn and most people spend a lot of time on their “phones” these days! Social media learning lets you try out ideas, share opinions, and get immediate feedback. Finally, virtual reality training gives employees the chance to gain on-the-job training in a risk-free environment. What you think is “hawt” depends on your job. We are not buying spring clothes here, we are creating learning, and hawt topix in eLearning was a catchy way for this learning-nerd-author to have fun talking about it.
