   It is a well-known fact that people are best able to perceive information visually. No, it is not the plain text but infographics, pictures, videos.

3. Do You want to eat an elephant? It is simple – split everything into pieces

   So people are arranged. Well, they are not ready for a long time to perceive information effectively. The working person is usually ready to allocate only 1% (4-5 minutes) of their time to study. You tell it is little? Yes, but during this time You can learn something new. Here is another trend: short videos and information in small portions. But it is not necessary to do everything in this format – the power is in combination.

4. Virtual reality: see that what You couldn’t see before

   Do You want to feel like you’re flying over mountains or rivers? Do You want to feel like the doctor who operates or even a medieval knight? No problems. This is by virtue of virtual reality.

But this pleasure is not cheap. Therefore, You can use augmented reality (AR) with the gadget installed. For people of the digital generation, virtual and augmented reality learning will become commonplace.

5. Improvement and modernization of existing content

   Not everyone has the resources to implement new technologies. But updating of educational materials is obligatory. Now, there are many cases where people are offered to study things that are already outdated or have disappeared altogether. Training material should always be reviewed, updated and upgraded. In 2019, the trend towards modern needs will be followed.

People are becoming more discerning and want to get answers to questions rather than hear transfusions of water from empty to empty. Give less but better. Motivation plays a huge role in online education, so don’t let it fall or go out!
