RePubIT is a innovational prototyping design studio for mobile and social learning technology focused on revolutionizing adult learning and talent development, stoking the innovative process in our global corporate landscape. Our executives have published several books on the cognitive process with educational technology, and sit on a variety of specification standards committees (IDPF, IEEE, EduPub, BISG...) driving the transition to and enrichment of interactive ebook based mobile learning. This presentation demonstrates the use of standard SCORM / xAPI experiential learning analytic techniques, applied to the industry standard ePub3 interactive eBook format. This breakthrough allows learners to collect important data about their learning experience with an open direct channel to a trainer or mentor regardless of time-of-day or locale. The dashboard and data automation benefits employees and employer alike, summarizing skill mastery, compliance, interdepartmental knowledge exchange, recognition, personal satisfaction, and a sense of corporate mission. RePubIT enables both socialization and mobilization of learning content that is disaggregated into small, cognitive learning objects giving corporate teams the exact information and knowledge they need, when they need it. In a workplace rich with "smart" mobile devices it is a logical transition to redesign corporate training, process, and methodology documentation to meet the coming demand for mobile, just-in-time knowledge exchange. RePubIT experts support corporate learning organizations at all stages of transition with executive briefings, technical workshops, readiness assessment, prototype and production development services.

4. THE KNOWING-DOING GAP
SOCIAL LEARNING AND EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

5. Training & Performance Support
• Ongoing investment in all companies

6. Gap Acceleration
• 5 Years = 10X change
means
– Individuals fall farther behind
– Become less productive
– Add less value
– Become less employable
– Drain profitability
• Consequence
– Less competitive
– More likely takeover target

7. We all learn differently
• At different rates
• For different reasons
• One size fits all?
– Not particularly well
• “Learning Preferences”
not learning style
• Why most training fails

8. Closing the Knowing-Doing Gap
• Learning how adults learn
– Adult learning and ESL
– Khan/Flipped Classroom
– Pair programming/agile
• Demand
– Innovate learning
processes
• Solution
– Social Learning

9. Our Vision
• Mobile
– Native to tablets and smartphones
• Social
– Live help, study buddies, private
messaging
• Small chunks
– 15, 7, and 3 minute learning
intervals
• “Network learning objects”
– Atomic unit of learning
– Media + Metrics + Real-time
reporting
• “Knowledge GPS”
– Skill attainment validation
– Next-best thing to learn
– Enterprise wide dashboard
• “Gamification”
– Adult learning best practices
• Small-group projects
• Fast feedback cycles
• Rewards and recognition
• Badging and leader board
– Immersive
• Multimedia sequences
• Game-like engagement
• Popup quizzes and assessment
• Transmediation
– Curricula disaggregation
– Reconstituted as networked
learning object
– Assembly in mobile native forms

10. Closing the Gap
• Problem to solve
– Effective learning that fits the mobile engagement modes of today’s workers
• Solution components
– Articulated knowledge: Procedures, training material, etc.
– Tacit Knowledge: SME Interviews, practitioner discussions, etc.
– Knowledge validation: Lean manufacturing of learning intervals
• Innovation process design
– Mission and business goals: Training, performance support, employee
engagement, institutional knowledge
– Readiness assessment: What works, what is broken/missing, etc.
– Minimum viable products: Fast-cycle hypothesis-testing
– Engagement: Bottom-up user feedback

11. ENGINE OF LEARNING
NETWORKED LEARNING OBJECTS AND ACTION SETS

12. Engine of Learning
• Learning Intervals
– 15, 7, or 3 minutes
• Mobile Engagement
– Action Sets
• Social Environment
– Scheduled and ad hoc peer
mentoring
• Digital Assets
– networked learning objects
• Instrumentation
– Real-time monitoring of
micro-learning activities
• Learning Analytics
– Skill attainment dashboard
• Prescriptive Action
– Suggested next lessons
– Remedial exercises

13. Networked Learning Object Benefits
• Faster time-to-fluency / skill
attainment
• Faster training of new and
replacement staff
• Documented compliance
• Performance support
– Just-in-time learning
• Faster, lower-cost updates
– Training material
– Manuals
– Corporate publications

14. ALTERNATIVES
OPTIONS FOR IMPROVING TRAINING AND
PERFORMANCE SUPPORT

15. Easy Options
• Do nothing, wait for
retirement
• Form a committee to
study how to research
the issue.
• Insinuate that
someone else form/
lead a taskforce.
• Buy an LMS and use
technology in place of
a “baked” strategy
• Hire expert training
consultancy to
parachute a solution
into the organization.
• Fumble forward in DIY
mode.

16. Four Essential Items to Address
• Business needs skilled workers for innovation
• Employees need to close personal “Knowing-
Doing Gap”

and employee engagement.
• Provide common cloud based platform & related
mobile learning material

17. • Learning, Performance support,
and Personal Development
• Smartphones & Tablets
• Mobile “ePub3”
• Immersive
• Interactive
• Measurable
