The Learning and Performance Institute launches Annual Learning Survey
The Learning and Performance Institute (LPI) launches its Annual Learning Survey – a comprehensive research piece into the most significant trends in workplace learning and development.
Shaped by LPI members and backed by hundreds of LPI accredited organisations, the Annual Learning Survey is a comprehensive investigation into the most significant trends happening in workplace learning and development. The research will build a picture of the current workplace learning landscape and estimate its likely directions for 2015 and beyond.
The LPI will look at how L&D professionals are using learning media such as e-learning, live online learning, social media, e-labs and webinars, how budgets are being allocated and issues involving skills, resources and knowledge.
This year’s research will look to build on the success of last year, where over 300 L&D professionals completed the Learning Survey 2014.
Commenting on the results and providing insight into the longer-term trends, Learning & Performance Institute Chairman, Donald H. Taylor, said:
"When we first carried out the survey in 2010 it was a reasonable assumption that most of an organisation’s formal learning activity was channelled through, and co-ordinated by, the training department. That can no longer be taken for granted. Instead, the explosion of powerful online technologies and the near ubiquity of internet access mean that increasingly L&D is no longer the main provider of workplace learning experiences. One important long term trend is clear: the reduced role of the classroom. Another – the rise of alternative approaches to L&D – will likely be felt in our surveys for the next 5 years at least."
Colin Steed, CEO, Learning & Performance Institute, added:
“The annual research carried out by the LPI is a unique and impartial data store to capture, measure and benchmark the rate of change and interpret what this means for a training, L&D or HR professional.”
All those involved in workplace learning can take part in the research at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9VGC5J6.
The closing date for submissions is 5pm on Tuesday 20th May 2015.
