- 4. Problem 4 • Videos, PPTs, and quizzes are “linear” (i.e. one-and-done), and most content is fully forgotten within 1 week • Many eLearning suites contain extra features that your team will never use (but that you are paying for!) • Curating & updating training materials is difficult, so they quickly become stale • Materials are not easily repurposed as a mobile reference tool afer initial training is completed Most traditional “page-turner” employee training is ineffective, expensive, and inconvenient
- 5. TheWorldisChanging 5 • Employees prefer bite-sized learning for their shorter attention spans • Employees value eLearning that works over eLearning that is flashy or “fun” • Companies using mobile learning experience a: 43% improvement in productivity; and 73% improvement in revenue Mobile learning is helping to improve many companies’ training, although most solutions are still quite “linear” and sub-optimal % of U.S. companies using mobile devices for training* 2012 2014 2016 2018 80% 60% 40% Source: Towards Maturity, In-Focus: Mobile Learning at Work (2018)
