The survey will look at how L&D professionals are using learning media such as eLearning, mobile learning, social media, e-labs, and webinar; 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’s, in which over 500 L&D professionals completed the Learning Survey 2013, with some interesting results. Learning & Performance Institute Chief Executive Colin Steed has seen both the good and bad in changes this year.

He said, "The 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.

"What 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 this."

The survey closes at 17:00 GMT on 16 May.

All participants will receive a summary of the results and have a chance to win two tickets to LEARNING LIVE 2014, held at etc venues’ 155 Bishopsgate, London on 10 – 11 September 2014.
