Latest Trends in Mobile Learning and Just in Time Learning
Today’s successful sales representatives are on the go and out seeing prospects in clients – not sitting in their office behind a desk. Therefore, if you want financial professionals to engage with your digital learning content, it’s imperative you make it available for them to access when they want it, where they want it.
According to LinkedIn Learning, 46% of talent developers stated their area of focus currently is on developing “just in time learning.” Because of the demands on our time in today’s working environment, having to go out of our way to engage in professional learning and development has become a huge challenge. It has become imperative for talent developers to create learning opportunities that are flexible and easy to access. For this reason, creating flexibility through mobile learning and mobile responsive eLearning design has become essential for learning success.
