With the raft of technologies to help people learn, it’s no surprise new features pop up as providers and LnD practitioners try and engage and maintain relationships. Features that have appeared on platforms I’ve helped develop in the past have included:

• Communities
• User Generated Content
• Personal Messaging
• User Profile Aggregation
• Video and Audio interfaces
• Gamification
• Live Chat

There are countless more. Indeed, things that organisations are working on now include AI based recommendations, Chatbots, live collaboration tools, etc. I noticed Richard Millington’s post about The Myth Of The Miracle Feature the other day and he lists 4 essentials of a community platform.

I’d be interested in your 4 essential of the learning platform. I have my ideas as to which 4 features are essential, but what are yours?
