    MOBILE LEARNING IS AN EMPLOYEE’S BEST FRIEND
    August 29, 2017

    In the 21st century, learning is not limited to 4 walls and a chalkboard. Technology has brought about various changes and has redefined the art of learning. In the corporate sector, Mobile Learning has become a trend and a significant benefit to multiple employees worldwide. In the digital age, interactivity is of the utmost importance. Today’s employees are frequently on the move and are prone to short attention spans. Mobile Learning has bridged the gap between employee and employer or, instead, HR representatives. Several catalysts are leading this shift towards mobile learning and business development as a whole. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons why employees stand to gain from mobile learning.

    • Increased Levels of Global Mobility – According to a recent survey by PwC, international assignment levels have increased 25 percent over the last decade and could see another 50 percent growth by 2020. In the global business arena, employees are dealt with various complicated obstacles that it becomes necessary to have access to a learning management system on the go. With a mobile network of this kind, employees will be better prepared for the challenges that lay ahead for them. Training the employee on-the-move is crucial to the success of the assignment and the overall development of the employee for future assignments.
    • More Personalized – In the past, employee training was a tedious process that an employee would endure from time to time with no end in sight. In an m-training environment, a personalization theme is essential to long-term success. Employees need to be engaged to learn new things. The other added benefit is that it adds that missing ‘fun’ factor in most of these training routines. In most mobile learning platforms, lessons involve self-paced, on-demand learning across multiple contexts, in short, bite-sized micro tutorials. As a result, knowledge retention levels will increase, which makes for better employee productivity.
    • Remote-Friendly – According to Global Workplace Analytics, employees are not at their desk roughly 50 to 60 percent of the scheduled workday. Flex-time and remote work also continue to rise as newer generations demand greater work-life balance. More and more employees are working remotely from home, and companies strive to give them all the resources possible. By adopting a corporate eLearning strategy, it can be catered to complement the individual and make the learning modules accessible in any location they’re located in.
    • Game Time – Building on the personalized learning angle, corporations are beginning to use gamification in their corporate learning programs to intensify learning and development for employees worldwide. Instead of taking the same prescribed assessments every couple of months, learners will challenge each other with questions that are relevant to their work. It builds up friendly competition amongst the employees as well as boosting team values at the same time.
    • Performance Ratings – With the rise of technology, one of the main benefits that most employees will get out of these platforms will be overall performance support. With the use of analytics, employees will be able to gauge how they fare in their respective job. As a result, they will be able to work on their weak areas and become better employees in the process. An improved employee will ensure a healthier Return on Investment (ROI) for the organization.

    The overall goal for mobile learning is to improve learning motivation and increase employee knowledge and a much thorough understanding of various topics. With more innovative technologies such as VR and AR on the way, it makes more sense that more companies will invest further in mobile learning tools.
