eGuiding Across Locations as an mLearning Solution
eGuiding Across Locations as an mLearning Solution
ALPHARETTA, Ga., Jan. 13 - InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG) once again teamed up with the Venza Group (VLS). The latest collaboration, an mLearning solution, saw the deployment of IHG electronic job-aids, or eGuides, for mobile devices. Now, hotel employees across North America and Canada can instantly reference task-based curriculum, strategically crafted with chunks of the right information at the right time, from any location. eGuides effectively present training content via smart design, flawless development and an engaging graphic user interface. The Venza Group’s eGuide Technology also allows for rapid deployment in a variety of languages. For example, IHG contracted the Venza Group to develop 16 eGuides in English, Spanish and French in 2008.
Intended to provide application training modules for playback on the iPod Touch, the IHG/Venza Group mLearning solution superbly serves the training needs of the hotel industry whose rank-and-file already use mobile devices (i.e. cellular phones, handhelds, iPods). And they’re not alone. According to an IBM study in October of 2008, mobile device usage is expected to surge from 50% to 80% by 2013. That’s approximately 5.8 billion people! mLearning brings content to staff members where they are and when they need it most. Deploying eGuides as reinforcements to training initiatives is the ideal application of mLearning.
