1. AI-Powered Personalisation
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept – it’s here, and it’s transforming e-learning. According to the L&D Global Sentiment Survey 2025, AI continues to dominate the L&D landscape, with 22.6% of respondents ranking it as the top trend for the second year in a row.

How it works: Microlearning breaks down complex topics into bite-sized chunks, making it easier for employees to learn on the go.
