VIA Announces Free Webinar on Effective and Efficient Technical Training for the 21st Century

PORTLAND, Ore. - Aug. 28, 2013 - PRLog -- VIA, a leading provider of eLearning, translation and community insights, announced today it will present a free webinar “Establishing an Efficient Technical Training Process to Meet the Demands of the 21st Century” on Wednesday, September 19 from 11–11:30 a.m. PT (1–1:30 p.m. CT and 2–2:30 p.m. EST). This complimentary event will discuss examples of organizations successfully delivering quick learning modules as part of a technical training program, as well as practical tips for design and delivery.

Technical training no longer benefits from the traditional longer learning formats. As more companies shift to an agile development process, technology is constantly evolving and training content is often out-of-date before the course is complete. Learning managers are grappling with how to keep up with rapid development cycles when product features are often not approved until right before training is scheduled to be released, while still accommodating feedback from multiple stakeholder groups, each with their own point of view. At the same time, attention spans are shrinking and learners are craving quick learning moments when and where it’s convenient for them ― between meetings, while traveling, or at home on the couch. Adapting to this new style of learning can be tricky at first, but with a good roadmap it can be done, and the boost in turnaround time, engagement and retention make it worth the effort.

To help you make this shift, this webinar will discuss:
•  The trends and challenges in technical training driving adoption of quick learning  modules, as well as an overview of the best rapid learning development tools.
•  Tips for accommodating multi-generational and multi-national learners and increasing learning engagement and retention.
•  Best practices for managing workflow, stakeholder communications and distributed workgroups.

Featuring:
•  Nic McMahon, COO, VIA
•  Evan Stuckless, Learning Manager, VIA
•  Moderator: Scott Herber, VP of Sales, VIA
