Virtual reality training can give students their onboarding and ‘first day’ experience from the safety of the classroom where mistakes can be gently corrected and quickly learned from.

On the cutting edge of eLearning technology lies cognitive computing. This computerized, digital system is meant to mimic human brain function to come to conclusions using a mix of artificial intelligence, neural networks, machine learning, natural language processing, sentiment analysis, and contextual awareness. 

The Internet of Things, Smart Home, and Smart Business innovations are changing the landscape of modern business tech quite significantly. However, where IoT really shines is in business automation, especially when combined with the voice controls of the smart “home” hubs. Any process that can be automated can also be voice-activated, meaning you can significantly streamline repetitive tasks to be completed in an almost conversational way with a computer or smart home hub. Simply having an infrastructure that responds to voice and mobile app commands can help professional learners gain a stronger grasp on company procedures.

Paired learning can either be by going through online training materials while partnered with another student in a different location or it can be used to pair individual student/trainees with a mentor when the pair will be in two separate locations. This allows collaboration and interactive learning without anyone having to learn away from home. Video chat is usually considered the best way to do paired learning though, of course, email gets a fair workout during this process as well.
