My eBook, mLearning – A Must-have Strategy to Scale Employee Training in the New Learning Environment, outlines mLearning strategies and examples you can use to train remote learners – focusing on how you can craft learning journeys from a distance.
With “lockdown logistics,” training and development program managers look for new ways to fulfill their remote training delivery mandates.
Take a look at some stats on the impact of COVID-19 on L&D and how learners feel about their response (Source – Fosway Group):
- 94% L&D teams have had to change their strategy in response to the pandemic.
- 71% organizations have experienced an increased demand for Digital Learning from end users (82% increased demand from senior stakeholders).
- 59% end users thought their organization’s adoption of Digital Learning was immature.
- Only 5% think their L&D strategy can be reverted to how it was before the pandemic.
In the changed workplace dynamics, with a significant percentage of the workforce working remotely, mLearning is a must-have strategy for the new learning environment. It is “learning on the go” that is typically consumed on smartphones/tablets and allows learners to learn seamlessly across devices (across mobile devices and laptops/desktops).
mLearning provides an effective and scalable approach to ensure that your employee training keeps pace with the business goals – even in the changed workplace dynamics. A strong mLearning strategy offers enticing value propositions for both learners and the organization.
