Smartphones and tablets facilitate experiential learning in the flow of work.

Learning at the Ready

Experiential learning has always been a key part of effective development; however, the rush to publish knowledge has meant its value has been overlooked. Employees already use smart devices to assist their learning. The time has come for organizations to leverage it through technology in a structured manner and challenge those accountable for the performance of others to step up and provide constructive, engaging, and enabling feedback. This session was recorded at the ATD 2019 International Conference & EXPO, May 19 - 22, 2019 in Washington D.C.

Using Mobile to Reignite Experiential Learning

Preparing new hires for their role can be done in many ways. Verifying that they can successfully conduct their operational responsibilities is a continual challenge and theory tests only go so far. In this session, the speakers will look at how one company adopted a mobile-first onboarding resource to help validate and correct application of learning in the field. While modern authoring tools can provide mobile responsive content, the true power of the mobile device is in its capacity to promote and support active learning by inviting new hires to immediately reflect on their experiences. The speakers devised learning application activities that require the technician to capture evidence to verify competence in the field. They will show how this approach has led to a new model of competence assessment at their company.
