United States Learning Management Systems (lms) Market Growth Factors

Emergence of Mobile Learning and Byod as A Business Trend

Due to the costs associated with traditional teaching methods, organizations worldwide opt for e-learning services for employee training and education. Bring your own device (BYOD) is rapidly becoming a global trend in which employees bring their own devices to work for work-related or other purposes, such as training and development. With the increase in digital technology adoption and preference for BYOD, businesses are concentrating on implementing LMS on smartphone for integrated employment training. Smartphones, laptops, tablets, and USB drives are the most prevalent examples of BYOD devices that employees bring to work.

Market Restraint

Enterprise Resistance to Converting Existing Training Content to Microcontent

Numerous organizations rely on comprehensive training and development programs and possess training and development content that is difficult to convert into microcontent. Due to its tediousness and expense, organizations must invest more in transforming their existing training content into microcontent. To implement microlearning-based training, it is difficult for an organization to organize and manage content within the micro-framework, and it may be necessary to create training content from inception, which can be costly.

Market Opportunity

Artificial Intelligence (ai) Implementation in Learning Management Systems

Implementing artificial intelligence in learning management systems will generate market expansion opportunities. Integrating artificial intelligence into LMS will enable periodic and gradual performance evaluations to classify students/users according to their abilities, paving the way for developing advanced and highly intuitive training programs. Artificial intelligence's intuitive and predictive development capabilities make it the ideal ally for virtual education through learning management systems. The integration of AI with LMS enables the development of an unrivaled relationship between the user/student and platform through highly personalized training processes that identify users' cognitive, emotional, social, behavioral, or personality aspects to motivate them to learn through a strategy that appeals to the personality traits directly associated with acquiring new skills, such as competitiveness.
