1. AI-First Learning Platforms

AI is becoming the core architecture of LMS platforms.

What’s changing:

  • Intelligent recommendations
  • Automated learning journeys
  • Adaptive assessments

By 2028, 80% of digital learning platforms will include AI-driven personalisation.

  • Competency frameworks
  • Role-based learning

Skills-based learning improves workforce agility by 30%+.

 

3. Microlearning & Just-in-Time Learning

Employees prefer learning that fits into work – not disrupts it.
Microlearning increases knowledge retention by up to 80% when delivered contextually.

 

4. Automation of Learning Operations

Automation will dominate:

  • Compliance tracking
  • Reporting
  • Certification renewals

Automated LMS platforms reduce training administration costs by 35-45%.

 

5. Data-Driven Learning Strategy
