Extending Functionality of eLearning Courses to Maximize the Impact of Learning Spend
MySmartSim’s Project Management Division plays a tremendous role in the initiative to create an eLearning experience unlike any other. Sound instructional design, teamwork and consistent follow up are just a few methods utilized by the project management team day to day. In addition, there is a strong focus on the development of mobile learning and the use of virtual classroom technology. Additionally, by the end of 2008 their courses will be compatible with the iPhone.
Mobile technology is becoming extremely popular within the training industry, due to the fact that users can access their training materials at all times. In the article “NelsonHall Research Reveals More Organizations Are Turning to Learning BPO to Combat Talent Retention Challenges and Maximize Learning Spend,” by NelsonHall discusses how most clients want remote access for training: “Providers are looking to address their client requirements for remote and just-in-time learning. Mobile devices, such as iPhones, are increasingly seen as tools for engaging with a mobile workforce and dispersed customer base. Virtual classroom technology provides an extension of this, with organizations able to reach out globally to train without the associated facility, logistics and cost headaches” (NelsonHall p. 1).
By extending the functionality of mySmartSim courses more opportunities are presented for users to access their training materials virtually instead of face to face, therefore maximizing the impact of learning spend. mySmartSim’s Project Management division will consistently capitalize on new features for their eLearning courses allowing users to virtually experience the next best thing to face-to-face hands-on training .
