In this post I address use cases that apply to a high-skilled knowledge workforce. Personalization for the high-skill knowledge worker. To start, let’s look at the profile of a high skilled worker and view personalization through this lens. The Collaborative, High-Skill Worker. The 2013 high-skill knowledge worker is connected, mobile, global, dispersed and relies the new breed of communication, and collaboration technologies to do business.

What is Mobile Learning? Mobile learning, also called mlearning, is education or training that is conducted on and delivered through portable devices like smartphones and tablets. What Influences Mobile Learning? While mobile learning gained traction in the early 2000s, the idea of making portable tools dates back to the 1200s when the Chinese invented the abacus. Here are a few key items that influence mobile learning. Mobile Learning Advantages.

Our lives are increasingly mobile, so our design should reflect that. One of the big drivers behind the design and development of our Knowledge Guru learning game engine was to make a learning game that would work in every browser… and on every tablet. What good is having a mobile app version of your learning if learners can’t start play on a desktop and finish on a tablet? What about workers that are frequently on the road?

Since mid-March, because of the coronavirus pandemic, many of us have been sent home from our offices and asked to work remotely, suddenly becoming remote workers. Census data found that five million workers were already working from home full or part-time. I’m one of these full-time remote workers. So, I’ve definitely not been an effective home-based worker.

Employee training software such as cloud-based LMS or learning management system empowers organizations to deliver training across mobile devices and enable convenient on-the-go learning. Thanks to reporting tools that are featured in LMS software solutions, organizations can monitor and track training in real time, identify knowledge gaps, and tailor the learning experience for groups and even individuals. Make your L&D department assess the knowledge gaps and launch a survey.

The success of an organization has always depended on how skilled and knowledgeable is its workforce. As more workers become knowledge workers, the demand for frequent training is further accelerated with each technological shift. Updating the skills and knowledge of employees critical in today’s economy, and the efficiency with which companies do so can thus be critical in helping them maintain a competitive edge.

The edge technologies I discuss are: workplace automation, the cloud, mobile, big data and learning analytics, and the Internet of Everything. The basic thesis of the book implores all of us in Learning to take into account how these technologies affect the modern worker and their ability to optimally perform. In the short-term the cloud and mobile technologies are having the biggest impact. Mobile has quickly integrated itself into almost every work practice.

Thus not only do we lose out on diverse inputs and knowledge, we also proverbially reinvent the wheel many times over and feed into systemic inefficiency. An organization that shares openly –successes and failures, learnings and insights, explicit and tacit knowledge – learns faster, builds an ambient awareness and paves the road for serendipity.

As technological capability increases, the cloud becomes pervasive, and the power of social and mobile become progressively evident, these will transform the way we function. Over the next two decades we can expect the knowledge of the world to be digitalised, with an exponential rise in user-generated content, "wise-crowd" application and open innovation applications."

In the first I explored the application of personalization in K12, and in the second how personalization can be applied to high-skill knowledge workers. In this post, I explore how personalization is already enabling service workers in the retail industry learn job skills at a fraction of the cost of traditionally-developed training. Workers may be less skilled, may or may not speak English, and may or may not be invested in their job.

The changes aren’t being driven by executive decree, new approaches, or demands from workers. As organizations undergo this transformation, they will fundamentally change the way their people interact with work-related data, information, and knowledge. This will in turn affect the way workers interact, and the nature and structure of workplace networks will change as well. One projection is that by 2016, 43% of workers in the United States will work from home.

A lesser-known, but even more important phenomenon for salespeople and other knowledge workers, is memory muscle. So how can you ensure that they internalize critical knowledge without turning them into full-time students? It overcomes the “forgetting curve” because it moves new knowledge into long-term memory by flagging it as being worthy of remembering. Filling in Knowledge Gaps.

Navigating this ecosystem entails a certain knowledge of the market and the need for questions of integration between solutions. The problem: The LMS was built around the idea of the internal “knowledge worker” i.e. internal employees who have a desk and office. Gaps in the LMS: Technical Workers – for example, field workers in manufacturing, medical or transportation profession, who might form the bulk of the workforce but often don’t have learning portal access.

To thrive under these conditions, employees must be immune to the complexities of change, willing to collaborate with a broad range of individuals and be able to apply sound judgment in increasingly knowledge-based roles.
