On November 23, 24 and 25, the Hispanic American e-learning Congress took place, which among its various presentations and activities, included a panel on the Impact of e-learning on HR training in the private sector.

The panel, moderated by Juan Carlos Tejeda, Director of the Education and Training Department of CEOE, included executives from the field of training and talent from Mobility Ado (Mexico), Bancolombia (Colombia), Correos (Spain) and Agbar.

Lluc Pejó, Director of Talent at Agbar and the Water School, remarked that when the pandemic arrived, the organization already had a high degree of online training in place. The big change has been the irruption of remote attendance, which in the future will have to be combined with e-learning.

The symposium identified two unresolved challenges for e-learning: the regulatory framework that limits some training to be online, and programs based on deep interaction between participants. In this sense, the future of e-learning depends on a better coupling between software and hardware in technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, or Artificial Intelligence applied to self-learning, which allow the deployment of these solutions on an organizational scale.

The I Spanish-American e-Learning Congress, which could be followed telematically, was structured in three days of agenda, with plenary sessions on different topics of the Institutional, educational, corporate and technological fields. It has had a powerful academic agenda of Key Speakers from universities in Spain, Colombia, Mexico, Panama and Ecuador, reinforced by the participation of e-Learning provider companies from different countries.
