repubit - the case for interactive epub3 in corporate training
DESCRIPTION
Globalization of knowledge work over the past 10 years promotes disruptive competition on a grand scale. The web and social knowledge have created a gap in the corporate supply chain that RePubIT identifies and strives to close. Innovation is paramount to survival, requires an agile workforce with access to corporate knowledge, resources and analysis in near realtime. This Knowing-Doing Gap continues to expand as Enterprise 2.0 organizations capitalize on their entrepreneurial spirit and innovate at an exponentially increasing rate. RePubIT’s team worked for decades deploying automation to close the gap and has turned that creativity toward delivering cognitive automation, the tools that will provide bright teams with online, real time knowledge and learning tools, intuitive, discoverable information just in time to empower corporate innovation, close the knowing doing gap, catapulting organizations head of the competition in the new global economy. Corporations need to develop content and learning strategies that take advantage of mobile and social devices that have become indispensable to the next-gen workforceTRANSCRIPT

THE KNOWING-DOING GAPSOCIAL LEARNING AND EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
Training & Performance Support• Ongoing investment in all companies

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
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
• Learning how adults learn– Adult learning and ESL– Khan/Flipped Classroom– Pair programming/agile
• Demand– Innovate learning
processes
• Solution– Social Learning
Closing the Knowing-Doing Gap
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
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
ENGINE OF LEARNINGNETWORKED LEARNING OBJECTS AND ACTION SETS
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
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
ALTERNATIVESOPTIONS FOR IMPROVING TRAINING AND PERFORMANCE
SUPPORT
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.
OR INNOVATE!
Four Essential Items to Address• Business needs skilled workers for innovation• Employees need to close personal “Knowing-
Doing Gap”• Align business protocols, performance support
and employee engagement.• Provide common cloud based platform & related
mobile learning material
• Learning, Performance support, and Personal Development
• Smartphones & Tablets• Mobile “ePub3”• Immersive• Interactive• Measurable
