103 Gen2 Learning: Blending Mobile and Manager Action to Execute a New Sales Process
Concurrent Session
Grainger was seeking a way to get a safety message to customers via our sales force without the training impacting face time. This created the challenge to train 3,000+ salespeople to enhance their selling approach and deliver this new message to thousands of customers in a consistent fashion, in a compressed time frame, and with limited time away from selling. To accomplish this, we needed to deploy a next generation blended learning program delivered just-in-time to an on-the-go workforce.
Read MoreAttacks against enterprises and their technology vendors are facilitated by the current rapid adoption of embedded systems, cloud solutions, and web-based platforms. These attacks often undermine the very monetization, scalability, and user experience goals for which these systems were designed and deployed. As malicious hackers advance their techniques at a staggering pace, often rendering current defense tactics obsolete, so too must security practitioners obsess over deploying progressive techniques.

Concurrent Session
We know that the workforce today is increasingly remote. Yet with all the support and dramatic early adoption for mobile learning, what we don’t yet know is how to either assess or measure mobile effectively, especially since it’s not as simple as applying the same success metrics from a traditional LMS to mobile. If you are considering a mobile learning strategy, how will you know if it’s working? And if you’re already deploying one, what triggers tell you if you need to change course?
Read MoreAs more and more people are adopting agile-based development methods, the single biggest thing TorranceLearning hears is, “I’ve got to get my team/clients/boss/SMEs on board with this, or it will fail miserably.” You do need to get your team, your clients (internal and external), your boss, and your SMEs on board with this—because if you do not, then yes, it is likely to fail miserably. Agile is more than a project management method. It is a culture.

Concurrent Session
Of course, all employees want learning at the moment of need on their mobile devices. What they want to know, when they want to know it, and how they choose to learn it: Just-in-time learning is not only what employees expect, but also a proven model to increase business outcomes. You may want to provide performance support tools; however, gaining executive support, funding, IT support, and so forth, can be challenging. A performance support model requires changing the conversation with all the stakeholders.

Concurrent Session
The ability to customize the content for learners is the best tool in the hands of eLearning authors. Learning is better when you can customize the learning experience based on learner choices, responses, specialization, and scores achieved in a quiz. It would be even better if they have the ability to serve content to learners based on their location.
Read MoreMaking the decision to add mobile technologies to your learning and performance strategy is one thing; making it happen is something else. One of the biggest challenges organizations run into once they make the decision to go mobile is choosing a tool to be used for mobile development. The mobile environment is very different than that of the desktop, and a tool that works in one space may not perform as well in another.
Read MoreAs iPads and mobile technology become more ingrained in all areas of our lives, we need to find ways to use the same tools in learning. But this shift can be extremely challenging for learning professionals and organizations to make.
Read MoreMobile devices and applications have finally worked their way into the learning landscape, enabling organizations of all sizes to leverage modern wireless wonders to deliver training, performance support, and business communications to their on-the-go workers. Great devices and rapid technology adoption don’t always outweigh the myriad challenges that hold back mLearning projects, from scaling from smaller pilots to larger implementations. Next-generation ecosystems require next-generation tools, approaches, and teams to ensure adoption, continued utilization, and success.
Read MoreAccessing learning or performance support assets when on the move is challenging to the learner as well as the expert or provider. We are all moving around the office, complex, country, or world. We need to access information or guidance exactly when needed without leaving our location or process. However, we also need to provide or push information when learners need it without even knowing they do. The speed of business dictates our learning needs, and these days the need for speed is overwhelming.
