In this LMScast Joshua Millage and Christopher Badgett share their predictions for 2016 eLearning industry trends, the LifterLMS project, and WordPress and online education in general. They discuss 3 definitive aspects: the importance of user experience, the expansion of WordPress, and the growth of the eLearning market.

WordPress is on its way to becoming a primary online education content management system. The developers of LifterLMS are leveraging their understanding of the LMS user’s experience to build new, innovative tools based on a progressive, functional, and adaptable framework.

One new offering from LifterLMS is LaunchPad, which makes the process of adding themes to your framework easier than ever. Opening the software to the development community allows for an endless supply of outstanding themes for the product.

Learner experience is often overlooked, but designing for learners determines the ultimate quality of online courses. Users can learn a great deal about what their students need through monitoring usage of lessons and quizzes, and by tracking site analytics.

A broad spectrum of customers and businesses are using WordPress for courses and training, and mobile devices make eLearning accessible on a global scale. The new LifterLMS support service, Boost, creates and publishes your online courses fast so you can enter the market sooner.

From individual edupreneurs to large companies, the 2016 eLearning industry trends will inspire you to get on board with online courses using tools like the LifterLMS plugin for WordPress.
