What is it about?

What would you do if you had to develop and deliver personalized training to 900,000 employees, located in 34,000 different locations, with a complex set of variables that changes training on a location-by-location basis?

The key is reusability 2.0. While technology-delivered training has become mainstream in many organizations, most still do not fully leverage the power of reusable learning content to meet their instructional needs. One of the main reasons is that most learning technologies are designed to create content for a specific learning purpose (i.e. e-learning). So, the question remains: how can content be reused to support many learning purposes, embrace several modes of delivery, and most importantly, support the right learning, at the right time – on demand?

During this complimentary webinar, we will examine case studies of several organizations that employ reusability 2.0 techniques to meet sophisticated learning and business requirements while delivering on-demand content for use in online courses, instructor-led training materials, performance support tools and certification exams – all through a single production pass.

Case studies used in the webinar will focus on an innovative new approaches used by leading companies in their respective industries – from food and hospitality to aviation to managed learning - to efficiently deliver highly customized and localized training to global workforces.

In this engaging and interactive exploration of reusability 2.0 you will learn:

• How reusable learning content can extend beyond e-learning to additionally support instructor-led training (ILT), print-based learning, textbooks, job aides, and performance support.
• What it takes to develop learning that can be created in single production pass, while supporting multiple modes of delivery on-demand.
• The conditions that precipitate adoption of reusability 2.0 versus traditional methods for creating and formatting content for specific learning purposes.
