The research will build a picture of the current workplace-learning landscape and plot future trends for 2012 and beyond. The survey will look at how L&D professionals are using learning media such as eLearning, mobile learning, social media, e-labs, and webinars; how budgets are being allocated; and issues involving skills, resources, and knowledge.

This year's survey will look to build on the success of last year, where over 500 L&D professionals completed the Learning Survey 2011. This effort produced many interesting results, and Learning & Performance Institute Chief Executive, Colin Steed has seen both the good and bad in changes this year.

He says, -œThe continued economic conditions seem to have increased the speed and necessity for change in many industries, but the changes are not all bad. In the L&D sector we've seen a sharp rise in the adoption of emerging learning technologies, especially in the public sector, and I would expect this to increase again next year. We're also seeing a positive change in how we access and share learning resources.

-œWhat has been lacking is an 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 - the Learning Survey does precisely that.-

All participants will receive a summary of the results and have the chance to win two tickets to The Learning Awards, held at the five-star Dorchester Hotel, London on 02 February 2012.
