The document discusses trends in training and simulation technologies towards increased digitization. It outlines how digital media, devices, artificial intelligence, sensors, and data analytics are advancing and impacting training. Training is becoming more analytical through learning analytics and data-driven approaches to optimize learning. Simulation and virtual/augmented/mixed reality are playing a larger role, and there are opportunities to better integrate training systems, leverage data, and improve the management of training through a more digitized "Training 4.0".
