Interactive e-Learning Solution Providers:
Fulfilling The Crucial Skill Gaps
Digitalization has transformed the education sector tremendously. In
a business world where companies are indiscriminately running to
be the best, today, they have turned towards e-learning solution
providers for assistance. The organizations are investing in material
resources to help the employees develop professional and personal
development of teams through e-learning.
With so many companies claiming to provide the best e-learning solutions, it is obvious to get
confused. When considering the best e-learning solution provider that can meet your needs, it not
easy to distinguish between which services a provider can deliver and which they outsource or
simply cannot provide. This simply implies that many buyers find themselves accumulating a
combination of solutions that, optimistically, will play nicely together.
In e-learning, the content needs to work in-sync with your LMS, videos need to be on-brand and
on-message for delivering the exact content that fits your business and training goals. Sometimes
the strengths and weakness of the services offered by e-learning companies may not be apparent,
they may claim to take care of the training needs, but have some crucial skill gaps.
So the team of Mirror Review has enlisted companies who are transforming, as well as fulfilling the
crucial skill gaps with their innovative and customizable e-learning solutions in our brand new
magazine issue “The 10 Most Interactive e-Learning Solution Providers of 2019”.
Showcased on the magazine cover is KnowHow, an interactive eLearning platform that has
provided its learning management system (LMS) to organizations. The Director of KnowHow,
Richard Kleyn, believes that skill development is an important element for the employee growth
that requires structured planning and continuous re-invention, on both content and strategy levels.
You will find some amazing articles based on trending topics in ‘Innovative Wireless Technologies’
and ‘VR in Education’ sections.
Stay inspired and Stay Updated!

Individualized Training Goals, 360 feedback, Competency,
Talent Identification, and Continuous Professional
Development to deliver excellent results.
Bringing Change in the Employee Training System
Richard Kleyn KnowHowthe Director at states that
eLearning can be contributed to by small groups and the
knowledge shared throughout the larger organization.
Richard belongs to the retail and financial backgrounds, and
this background exposed him to the limitation of training in
the sectors. He found out that training was limited,
inadequate, and formal in nature. He observed that
employees had little ownership of their training,
development action plans were not available or coherently
communicated, employees had little to no visibility of their
achievements, and HR was unable to confidently report and
monitor such interventions. This led to more overhead in
regards to training budgets. Richard explains, “Training
was often seen as a double cost to the organization, in
terms of financial, and loss of productivity, with a
curriculum that was not tailored to their specific
environment or industry.”
In the process of overcoming this limitation, Richard joined
KnowHow which was a platform primarily focused on
eLearning delivery. Following a rigorous and lengthy
assessment of functional requirements, continuous
improvement and updates, KnowHow has developed not
just an LMS but an Employee Development Management
system. On explaining the flexibility of the company,
Richard said that it offers a fully themed bespoke look and
feel for those looking for a custom platform. He further
added that the look and feel are designed on the basis of the
client’s corporate identity and takes into account its user
base and ethos.
Providing Seamless Extendable Offerings
KnowHow was initially developed as a Learning
Management System with the primary focus on delivering
Most Interactive

THE
eLearning. The company expanded its services to offer
Event Management, Performance Development Reviews,
Training Goals / Catalogue, Content Creation, and much
more in its platform. This expansion of services contributed
to the positive growth of the company. In addition, in order
to provide a seamless extendable offering, the KnowHow
platform assimilated add on modules for Competency, and
Talent Management, which are specifically integrated for
increased visibility of an organisations talent and skills
offering. Upgrading from the traditional LMS platform, it
has transformed into a complete Employee Development
Management suite with eLearning at its core.
Seven Key Pillars of Know How Model
Based on the experience of client engagement, the company
understands that the clients’ operating in regulated
environments need to demonstrate that they have
adequately trained and up-skilled employees in dynamic
industries. These include Finance, Logistics, Engineering,
Energy, Environment, and FDA regulated industries, to
mention a few. KnowHow blends a learning approach that
incorporates external vendor training with internal
eLearning courses.
The e-learning typically starts primarily as an induction
program. KnowHow believes that induction for beginners at
organizations should be achieved fully, prior to the fresher
entering the field on the first day. This helps to increase
efficiency and reduce the impact on existing staff. The
manager or HR evaluate compliance and HSEQ
requirements, for the employee. Later a Personal
development Action Plan is reviewed and implemented for
the employee. Relevant/required training courses are made
available for the employee, as well as training catalogue.
Frequently a performance development review is evaluated
to set company and personalized objectives for the
employees. However, the performance of the employee is
constantly measured via micro stats.
To support this approach, there are seven key pillars, which
form the base ground of this learning approach.

The Forthcoming Innovative Projects
In order to continuously enhance and future proof the platform, KnowHow is all set to integrate webinars with automated
session recording and conversion for shareable eLearning. In addition to these automated sessions, the platform plans to
provide an online subject matter expert, which can be linked to specific training material via built-in question routing on a
content level.
KnowHow understands that the use of bots and machine learning is ever-evolving. The company utilizes the novel tech in
improving user experiences, increase interaction and provide a real-time source for customer feedback. It has also created
One-Click-Build, which offer users the ability to upload Word, PDF, and PowerPoint documents. The system then converts
these documents into eLearning that can be accurately scored, durations recorded and bookmarking saved.
Richard’s Message for its Customers
Richard believes that skill development is an important element for employee growth that requires structured planning and
continuous re-invention, on both content and strategy levels. This balance is the key to being successful. To maintain efficient
and effective results, organizations need to constantly practice skill/learning development. He adds, “Skills / Learning
development is equally owned by the employee and upper management — the more its encouraged and reinforced above, the
more efficient and effective the results will be.”

18. Thanks to the miracle of the internet and tech
advancements, new doors have opened for
accessing knowledge, high-quality education, and
training. Nowadays, eLearning landscape is gaining
immense popularity among students and learners due to its
wide set of benefits all over the world. Presently, there are a
number of eLearning solutions providers that are offering
diverse courses through their respective flagship platforms.
Founded in 2012, one such interactive eLearning platform,
Triple Tech LLC dba Bigger Brains is on a mission to
create more productive workplaces through exceptional
eLearning offerings.
Remarkably, the major driver behind the company’s success
and reputation is its CEO, Chip Reaves. Chip has 20+ years
of experience and is highly skilled in computer service,
franchise management, and online training programs. While
commenting on the eLearning scenario, from a leader’s and
entrepreneur’s perspective, Chips says that eLearning and
traditional education will continue to work side-by-side.
Furthermore, when it comes to eLearning, the online
platform is more convenient and cost-effective for covering
diverse topics but few things are best taught in a live,
teacher-lead scenario.
A Serial Entrepreneur Helping Companies in Their
eLearning Efforts
Going down the memory lane, Chip met with a game-
changing incident that motivated him to establish Bigger
Brains. It all began when the seasoned leader co-founded
Computer Troubleshooters, a worldwide IT franchise
system. While working there, he was allotted the task of
creating an online training platform for the company. For the
first time, Chip learned the value and significance of
eLearning while building his online training portal which is
now used by over 400 locations around the world. By
shifting training to the online portal, he saved considerable
amount of time and travel expenses by delivering it to large
number of people. “After selling Computer Troubleshooters,
I wanted to help other companies with their own eLearning
efforts by providing a high-quality set of commonly needed
training courses which they could instantly deliver to their
people,” says Chip. This is how Chip was inspired to
establish Bigger Brains. Currently, the company continues to
create the “Absolute Best Online Training” from its studios
at Anderson, South Carolina.

enhancements, companies and teachers

Brain’s unique eLearning courses and

Staying Ahead by Making Training
Interactive, Engaging and Effective
Today, there are numerous eLearning
solutions available in the market for
individuals to choose from. Therefore,
comprehending the market competition,
Bigger Brains’ CEO and his skilled
team devotes time and energy into
continuous innovation and quality
improvement of their offerings. Each
year, they work on a key project that is
designed to enhance how they create,
produce, and deliver training, thereby
making it more interactive, engaging,
and effective. For the past few years,
they have evolved according to their
surrounding landscape to create and
format consists of video-based modules
filmed in a studio with multiple cameras
and two people on screen that are:
“Teacher” and “Learner”. Because of
this, the skilled team of Bigger Brains
can deliver natural dialogue,
clarification, interrogation, and humour
that doesn’t exist in traditional lecture-
based modules. The company’s training
content is excellent for companies of
any size, but particularly beneficial for
training departments.
Additionally, by using Bigger Brains’
courses, companies can concentrate
their inner training on the subjects
distinctive to their organizations. To
create the most realistic and
comprehensive training courses
possible, the most interactive eLearning
solution provider works with top
teachers and subject matter experts.
These experts have real-world
experience of working in particular
areas along with teaching experience in
colleges and corporate environments.
Offering Different eLearning Courses
Globally
As a leading eLearning solution
provider, Bigger Brains offers a library
of off-the-shelf eLearning courses
focused on topics related to Microsoft
Office 365, Microsoft Teams, Email
Management, Cybersecurity, general
business productivity, and many more.
These courses are taught by hired
industry experts. Along with this, the
“Bigger Brains style” videos are
designed to be both enjoyable to watch
as well as effective than the run-of-the-
mill lecture-style videos that are often
found online. Additionally, the company
has developed and designed a new
eLearning app to help people retain the
knowledge and skills they learn via
Bigger Brains and other courses.
BrainBot, an intelligent AI-based
chatbot communicates with users to
provide post-training reinforcement
boosters or ‘nudge learning’, which can
enhance the company’s unique training
platform. In 2017, the highly
experienced team at Bigger Brains
hosted an event to help focus group of
millennials to better understand what
eLearning features worked best for
them. Likewise, in 2018, they
developed their BrainBot workflow
learning app. This year, the expert team
has recruited industry professionals to
evaluate and refine their course
production process. As a result, they are
able to improve the focus and
knowledge-transfer of their eLearning
courses by achieving these milestones
year after year.
Things to consider while choosing the
Right eLearning Courses
Being the CEO of a prominent
eLearning solution provider, Chip feels
that customers should be aware of their
investments in eLearning. He believes
that creating or buying eLearning
courses is very easy, but they may
become boring or ineffective for their
teams. All it takes is one or two bad
experiences that can push them away
from using eLearning at all. He further
adds, “By focusing on the quality of
your eLearning content, including
things like pacing, lesson objectives,
course outcomes, and key point
outlines, you can build training that
your people will enjoy and benefit
from.”
At Bigger Brains, we are
committed to providing the
world's best eLearning courses.

urrently, many organizations provide content via
instructor-led training and through e-learning
courses with a wealth of resource materials to
support that learning. When comparing traditional and e-
learning methods of education, e-learning delivers more
benefits. e-learning offers the user an accommodating
space whilst utilizing videos, documents, and quizzes to
learn at their own pace. According to the user feedback
data, instructor-led training is still a widely used method
to deliver learning. However, there has been a potential
growth in the availability of different training methods.
One such interactive e-learning solution provider called
The Brainier LMS is emerging at a fast pace.
Initially, Brainier was an organizational training
company, providing seminars led by world-renowned
presenters and authors. Along with the seminars, training
also was delivered through the technology of the day:
DVDs and CD ROMs. The company utilized a
traditional training system for fifteen years, and later in
2001 introduced the first LMS. This upgrade was the
natural extension of the core competencies of the
company to provide innovations in the online learning
market since the launch.
Advanced, Cohesive and Customisable Learning
Management
The platform can be configured as a basic learning
system for delivering custom or off-the-shelf content
with basic reporting. It can also be enabled as an
extended-enterprise global organization. Its database is
derived from a multi-tenant design, which allows
significant agility for clients with complex
organizational structures. Other than the design,
additional features include an automated and localized
world time zone and supports 14 languages. Brainier
also provides third-party content for the clients, along
with the easy inclusion of client-supplied or custom
content.
Its flagship product is The Brainier LMS, which
provides customers with tremendous flexibility for the
rapidly changing and high-sophisticated needs of today’s
learners. It benefits the clients with;

earlier he would have done even better
in his studies. In order to break the set
pattern of learning, he joined Brainier
18 years ago and is striving to bring the
expected change in the training
methods.
Considering “training” to be
“yesterday’s requirement”, presently
the main focus of Jerry is on delivering
knowledge. According to Jerry,
“Learning” is sustaining the current
goal that keeps the user afloat in their
job, but true “knowledge” is something
that it stays with the user forever.
Focusing on Core Competencies
Rather Than Features
The e-learning industry is filled with
many solutions in the market that are
providing truly innovative work. Yet,
the scope of challenges that
organizations are facing at the strategic
level is ever-changing. However,
shaping the culture of an organization
through robust yet efficient learning
programs is achievable; although,
engaging a workforce is difficult when
the user experience is overly
complicated. Jerry advises that
customers to pay attention to a solution
provider’s core competencies and not
simply a laundry list of features. One
should evaluate the strengths of a
potential partner and not choose based
on promises made. The Brainier LMS
works hard to make sure that it actually
Ÿ accessible anywhere, at any time,
regardless of home or office.
Ÿ Built for Multiple Screens
Brainier replaced traditional LMS
barriers with technology that
provides easier access to education
and more effectively. It delivers
video-based training across
multiple devices like desktop,
laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
Ÿ The Brand Chameleon
The platform enables the client to
utilize totally customizable skin.
This makes the platform an
immersive, firmly entrenched
portion of user’s brand experience
and learning, rather than a third-
party add-on.
Moving Beyond the Traditional LMS
Jerry Cox, the President of Brainer
LMS says, “Training Is for Yesterday’s
Requirements. Learning Is for Today.
Knowledge Is Forever.”
Jerry defines his educational journey to
be the same as the usual set pattern of
classroom, homework, tests…repeat.
His education has been mostly with
traditional learning, including high
school and college. Although his
education relied on traditional
methods, even after college, technical
training was usually facilitated and
certifications were done on a traditional
testing basis. Jerry realized that he
succeeded when he independently
studied. He said, “I found, however,
even in college, that I thrived on
independent study. I tended to get
better grades and retain more of the
information when I was in charge of
my study and research methods while
being provided basic guidance from
scheduled meetings with a professor.”
He believes that if online training or
contributes to solving the business
challenges through learning.
The Bi-Annual Project
Announcements
Currently, companies and organizations
of all sizes use the Brainier LMS. It
provides a technologically advanced
learning platform for organizational
learning. It releases software updates
on a bi-annual basis. The forthcoming
releases are scheduled for Fall 2019,
and Spring 2020, which are centrally
focused on “Knowledge”.
The company is considering the next
generation of learning and
development products and understands
the current scenario. By introducing
features like additional off-the-shelf
software integrations with established
HCM partners, advanced gamification,
evolving AI features, accessibility
options, and more, Brainier is working
to bridge the gap between knowledge
and learning. At present, it consists of
innovative database design allowing
for easy configuration of basic
organization charts as well as highly
sophisticated and complex
organizational structures.
Our technology helps your business achieve
breakthrough results through better enterprise

empower your employees.

22. Ne t
Technology is a wonderful thing, who knew we might use Virtual Reality (VR) in
education one day. Back in the days, we had books, notebooks, and our
imagination to solve the problems. “Suppose you have four apples in your bag.”
That statement always got me hungry and I indulged myself imagining four apples in my
bag and how I am going to eat it. Wait Teacher had other plans and he wants me to give
two of my imaginary apples to Suzie. Now I am left with two imaginary apples and
dubious teacher is not done yet he wants to take rest for himself. At the end of it, I do not
have any apple to eat. Men those were the days where teaching was done by real people
and I listened to them very carefully while looking at the sky on my knees and my hand
raised outside of the class. Apparently, you can’t ask money for imaginary apples. Then
and now, we have seen the landscape of education change drastically. The online programs
and solutions that are available for the students are making strides in the education sector.
These programs might one day replace the traditional method of classroom teaching.
But those days are still far away and we will specifically discuss the new kid in the class in
this article. That is VR and how it can be used to educate young minds. To go deep into
the topic we must first learn what is VR? To do that we must break it into two parts,
Virtual means being something in essence, though not in actual and Reality means
something that has actual existence. The combination of both these words does not make
any sense in the real world, but if we look at it from the technological point of view it
might appear as do not physically exist but brought to life through software in the virtual
world. It means the feeling, the touch and the experience might seem real but they are not.

VR in Education

Step Forward in the Learning Sector

23. The introduction of VR in education
I first came in touch with VR technology through
video games and movies. Tell you what, it made my
gameplay and entertainment experience much better.
It feels like I am literally inside the game or movie
fighting the bad guys. As the technology evolves the
gaming and entertainment industry are providing
much better user experience to its customers. But VR
in education is a fairly new concept and how efficient
it is going to be in the learning sector the future will
only tell. But the that been generated throughdata
research promises a good result, as 97 % of the
students like to study from VR. VR in education
estimated to be 700 million dollar industry by 2025
and education is going to be the fourth biggest sector
for VR investment.
Positives of VR in education
For now, let get into matter how the implementation
of VR in education might bring some positive
changes.
23

24. the school authorities around the world are not yet
ready for that.
Limit the human connection
My fond memory about the school is not only about the
punishment, but it also includes the nurture, the
guidance and the companionship that I shared with my
teachers and fellow students which made it a lot better
in the end. And any kind of VR cannot replicate that.
Virtually impaired
Students with sight or listening disabilities or some kind
of learning disability might not find VR useful. Some
tweaks and tricks might help the students with learning
imparity. Still, it might not be for all.
Hurdles to jump, opportunity to grab
The idea of VR in education is still in a conceptual and
testing stage. The hurdles like customized user
experience and all-around approval are a far bigger
mountain to climb. The technology of VR is new and
we should give it time to evolve into a complete product
before education can accommodate it in its system. VR
has a tremendous track record in entertainment and
simulation industry. So do not discard it that easily it
might surprise us in the near future as the technology is
rapidly improving. We all want to go to that next stage
and VR might be that stage which will elevate the level
of education, till then we have to work with what we
have.
Virtual Interaction real experience
First and foremost VR will provide the interaction with the
environment which might be difficult or impossible in the
real world. Let’s take the example of the subject of History.
Through VR the students will able to visit ancient
civilization interacts and gathers knowledge through
experience which is very difficult to simulate in the real
world.
Deeper learning Better understanding
VR can provide a better understanding of the subject. In
books, we get the two-dimensional pictures with a lengthy
explanation of the topic. The students can see three-
dimensional objects through VR and learn their real origin
and it is better because of 3D.
Fun with games
More than anything else kids love to play and they should
be allowed to play. In schools, VR technology could help to
change some subjects into role-playing games to make the
students learn while playing and play while learning.
Safe and secure
VR will allow teachers to simulate situations such as war or
natural disaster which might not be possible or too
dangerous to conduct in a real setup. The students will
study all prospects and in the process, they will not get in
harm’s way.
Limitations of VR
The VR in Education might have some positive potential to
offer but moving forward it is essential to look at its
drawbacks before giving it a green signal.
Too expensive to handle
The equipment and the software that is needed to set up the
infrastructure for basic VR training can cost a fortune and

26. The internet is taking over every platform,
which also has affected the education sector as
digital medium of education has gained quite
popularity in the market. As e-learning is inherently

Finding the Way Back To His Educational Roots
The Founder and CEO of CYPHER LEARNING,
Graham Glass, created an innovative learning
platform that utilizes cloud-hosted technology. He was
tremendously passionate about education from a young
age. After completing his formal education, he started
teaching Computer Science at the University of Dallas
to fulfil his passion. The drawback of not having a

that the traditional way doesn’t work
anymore since nowadays information
is at our fingertips. The role of the
teacher needs to change, meaning
that they have to be able to teach
students important skills, such as
digital literacy.”
Spotlight on the Opportunities
Where many companies focus on the
competition to keep up the company
growth, CYPHER LEARNING’s
team has a completely different
perspective for its competition. The
success mantra is to keep the spotlight
on the opportunities, rather than
worrying about the competitors’ next
move. Graham shares his wisdom by
explaining the tactics to survive in the
competition, he says, “I tend to
concentrate much more on
opportunities than threats. It is
actually a common error, to focus too
much, on what the competition is
doing. As long as your product just
keeps on getting better and better, you
are just naturally going to grow,
regardless of what your competitors
are doing.”
Forthcoming Innovative Projects
CYPHER LEARNING is striving to
create new ways to innovate through
proper Learning Management
System (LMS) to facilitate teaching
and engage young learners with their
studies lured him towards this sector.
His idea was to pack all his
instruction materials up in a scalable
way and make it available for millions
of people.
With his teaching experience, Graham
built his first company and he
ventured to corporate training and
software products. Later, he founded
two more companies related to
computer tech and training. He spent
most of his career in the enterprise
software space but was still connected
to educational components, whether it
was teaching at University, writing
books, or providing training in
corporations. Eventually he was
drawn back to his educational roots
because he believed that there is a
better way to help facilitate teaching
and learning.
Graham’s view on traditional and
digital education
Having an experience of more than a
decade in the educational sector,
Graham shares his opinion on
traditional and digital education. On
differentiating between the traditional
approach to education and e-Learning
he highlighted the most important
points. He explained that e-learning is
a more student-centred approach
which is suited for active learning,
whereas, traditional education is still
focused on lectures and offers less
interaction. Enlightening the benefits
of e-learning he said that teachers can
make use of multimedia tools to make
lessons more engaging. In addition, e-
learning helps to deliver synchronous
and asynchronous classes. He further
its products. Presently the new
addition to the platform includes
adaptive learning and team games.
The team is also working on offline
mode functionality for its native
mobile apps w/sync and making
10,000+ third-party courses available
via its built-in course catalog.
Fulfilling the mission of delivering the
best intuitive, powerful and
innovative solutions, CYPHER
LEARNING aims to create a Personal
AI assistant that could help to
measure the current competencies and
also develop new competencies,
totally based on the job the user might
have and the job he/she would like.
The AI assistant is planned to be sub-
divided into two—one for businesses
for job development purposes and the
other one for schools for career
planning activities.
Encapturing the essence of
delivering the best solutions
With the goal of delivering the best
outcomes, CYPHER LEARNING is
offering intuitive, powerful, and
comprehensive solutions. The
dedicated team is continuously
striving to make teaching and learning
an enjoyable experience from
beginning to end.
We want to help our clients get the best results using
our platforms by providing comprehensive support
and listening to their feedback.

28. At present, education can be broadly
categorized into two scenarios; traditional
education and e-learning. In traditional
education, learning is more focused on one to one
interaction and class training education; it includes
practical hands on learning or group based learning.
There are scenarios that suit e-Learning, where
learning can be self-paced and done remotely. There
are also practical areas where both can be intermixed
providing a best of breed approach. The e-Learning
scenario changes depending on the type of organization
and the challenges they are trying to solve. Some
organizations are specifically focused on ensuring
successful onboarding of staff, while others layer in
compliance and regulation training. Others are looking
to promote program, procedure or product knowledge
to various groups.
Since 2000, has contributed significantly toInteractyx
the e-learning space. The company was one of the first
to put textbooks combined with simulation models and
assignments online for Economics students. In
addition, with the release of TOPYX, it became one of

32. The business world is flooding with companies
that want to increase the growth pace. These
companies understand that learning and people
are their valuable assets, so they invest in the employees
by providing them with the knowledge they need through
e-learning. Ultimately, in a business world where
companies are chaotically running to be the best, they are
investing in material resources, which will help the
employees to develop professional and personal
development of the teams through e-learning. isKnolyx
the place where professionals who want to refine their
skills, can embark on a captivating learning quest by
choosing their own training plan, which will help them in
their career development. Adrian Sita is the Founder of
Knolyx, who established the company in 2011, and today
it is one of the leading e-learning solution providers.
e-learning Changing The Perspective Of Learning
Process
In comparison to traditional ways of education, e-
learning has many alterations, mainly due to
revolutionized technology. As e-learning benefits people
with the flexibility to access information on the go and at
their own pace, rather than traditional classroom
education, which is restricted in terms of time and space.
This leads to an increase in knowledge retention rates;
because people tend to grasp long-term knowledge if the
provided information in the preferred learning style.
Besides, e-learning platforms are changing the
perspective upon the learning process. Making use of this
innovative technique, Knolyx is merely grasping
information to internalizing it and turning it into practical
skills through tools such as branching scenarios and
gamification. It has also leveraged mobile learning and
microlearning, which makes the process of assimilating
information easier, by dividing it into chunks of
knowledge, customized according to clear learning and
development goals.
Intuitive and Engaging Learning Processes
Knolyx acts as a platform where its partners are credited
with an e-learning environment to share their valuable
knowledge. Other than this, its UX experience is making
the learning process more intuitive and engaging. In
order to encourage collaborative learning, Knolyx
utilizes smartphone applications for training tracker
maintenance and full control of the learning progress and
full accessibility, which are powered by android and iOS.

technical and learning experiences of
experts to deliver the best outcomes.
This lured Adrian in the industry with a
motto to create a modern context for
delivering knowledge, which is adapted
to the requirements imposed by
nowadays technologized era.
Competitive Environment Demands
Improvement
With the e-learning industry evolving at
a fast pace, the companies also need to
act accordingly. Adrian believes that
the market is full of competitors, which
is a good fact as the competitive
environment will challenge the team for
improvements. In order to lead in the
competition, the Knolyx team always
listens to the clients’ learning needs and
goals and always strive to improve the
platform accordingly, so that the clients
can fully focus on knowledge whereas
the team takes care of the
functionalities and administrative
details. Adrian further explains, “We
pay attention to everything that
happens around us, both in the business
environment and in the technological
field and we improve the platform so
that it keeps up to date with these two.”
Always Space For Something New
As change is the only constant, Knolyx
believes in innovating the platform and
keeping up with the business context.
The team makes sure that innovations
always leave up some space for new
Moreover, to make the application
more engaging it is equipped with
customization tools that provide the
learners to create a familiar
environment. This customization
feature helps the learners to adapt their
own organizational branding and
culture with an extra gamification tool
that allows badge customization,
rewards, and leaderboards.
The Opposite Domino Effect
Initially, Knolyx was started with the
idea that knowledge is enlightening and
it needs a dynamic learning
environment where the passionate
learners constantly pass it on. Adrian
explained that learning is like the
domino-effect but reversed. As in a
domino, the pieces fall apart one after
another, due to the power of learning,
people raise up one from another like a
reversed domino-effect. Knolyx aims to
enlighten the learning industry by
providing a platform with a
collaborative environment, in-depth
analytics tools, blended learning,
gamification tools and continuous
access to information.
Creating A Modern Context For
Delivering Knowledge
Due to the educational background in
automatics and information technology
Adrian’s professional path has been
centered on technology and learning.
His astonishing journey towards
establishing Knolyx is remarkable.
Primarily he started his career as a
technical team leader, and later gained
experience in the field by working as a
business analyst and software architect.
Along with leading the technical team,
he has also delivered a series of courses
being the head of IT training. Being a
passionate techie and his belief in the
power of learning, he along with his
team developed a platform called
trends and practices. This not only
makes the platform neoteric but also
creates room for the forthcoming
changes. However, presently the team
is working on a project which is a
learn-share-system that is dedicated to
employees. The system will motivate
the employees both intrinsically,
through acquiring knowledge and
sharing it among communities of
practice and also extrinsically, through
the earning function. In the
forthcoming days, Knolyx plans to
create a marketplace that the clients can
have access to a variety of learning
resources.
Adrian’s Take On Investing In
Knowledge
Adrian considers investing in
knowledge as the best investment, he
thinks it is like ‘genies three magical
wishes’, the only difference is that
instead of endlessly waiting for them to
miraculously appear, one can make
them happen. He says, “One should
invest in knowledge, it equals to three
magic wishes. The only difference is
that instead of endlessly waiting for
them to miraculously appear, you make
them happen, by putting learning and
development goals at the center of your
business growth. And we’re here to
achieve them together through our e-
Learning platform.”
We provide solutions, which suit your
organizational culture and check your
learning goals and business needs.

34. By improving the accessibility to information,
knowledge, and education, the Internet has
opened numerous doors to quality learning. Here
comes the role of e-learning solutions providing
companies who are seizing this opportunity left, right,
and center. Out of the bouquet of e-learning service
providers, Learning Management System (LMS)
providers are one of them. The problem with most LMS
providers is that their products are built on the old
structure which is less engaging, resulting in loss of
interest of the users. Simultaneously, employees are used
to tapping consumer-grade applications in their day-to-
day life through mobile phones, tablets, and laptops.
Moreover, the use of such poor digital experience is
abandoned by the millennials and Gen Z. Hence, the
challenge of creating something new and interesting with
more engaging software platform arises.
Founded in 2013, addressed this issue andLearn Amp
started a unique learning experience platform that
provides an enjoyable user interface and intuitive user
experience. With an urge to do better in the market and
also provide with a better learning experience, the
company quickly figured out that customers wanted a
great UX/UI combined with greater LMS functionality.
So in the next two years, Learn Amp combined LMS and
LXP in one application.
All-in-one Tool Creating a Direct Connection between
Employers and Employees
Learn Amp successfully accomplished the development
process of providing a unique solution to the learners by
creating all-in-one platform. This all-in-one tool enables
the employers to measure their return on investment in a
far more meaningful way than the other providers. The
tool allows to directly track the connection between
learning and improved workplace performance.
This combination of LMS and LXP platform is used to
provide a platform to SMEs and mid-market companies
(100 to 5,000 employees). It also provides the platform to
training providers or community owners with up to
50,000 learners. It has a huge library curated of nearly
10,000 items of content and courses to help learn in the
flow of work. This unique feature allows Learn Amp to

me hours to find decent content and
learning providers. It now takes me
seconds. We’ve saved a fortune as so
much of Learn Amp’s library is free
stuff and the ratings mean you can see
what courses are really worth it”
Taking a Different Approach from
Others
Duncan and Learn Amp’s journey has
not been easy due to the fact that the
learning platform market is highly
competitive with over 1000 vendors.
Over the years, Learn Amp has built a
good reputation by creating such
innovative e-learning solutions. The
company differentiates itself from
others in the market as it is not
focused on the very large end of the
market. Moreover, the company does
not sell to businesses over 10,000
users unless they are training
providers.
This approach which differentiates
Learn Amp from other has resulted in
securing numerous awards and
recognitions. To name a few, Learn
Amp was recognized as the #1 LXP
globally for the last two years by
leading analyst, Craig Weiss and
partner with a number of content and
courses providers delivering an all-in-
one learning solutions.
The company application has
integrated its tool which is a
combination of engaging, learning,
and performance management,
attracting most of the fast-moving
businesses towards it. The key feature
of this tool is that it creates a direct
connection between both the
employer and employee by combining
learning and engagement tool with the
performance management cycle.
Creator of the Platform who
recognized a Great Opportunity to
Help Students
Before the availability of such tools in
the market, Duncan Cheatle who is
the founder of Learn Amp faced
similar issues. Though he enjoyed his
university days, he saw very little
connection between what the
academics was researching and what
they were taught. Later, while
studying for his ACA exams, he had
similar realization where he noticed
that the university was teaching far
behind than what he was taught at
PwC.
The thought of creating an e-learning
space began at the time when Duncan
chaired many round table discussions
with scale-up CEOs who were quite
worried about the work readiness of
school leavers and graduates.
Therefore, creating a platform where
students are helped in improving
skills beyond what they were being
taught proved extremely cost-
effective and beneficial. On this,
Duncan further added, “It used to take
awarded with the Best Use of
Technology at the Employee
Experience Awards.
Valuable Advice to e-learning
Customers
Learn Amp doesn’t believe that a
single vendor can deliver well on
everything. But if the combination of
best providers who are great at what
they do is coupled with innovators,
then they can provide a world-class e-
learning ecosystem. Therefore,
Duncan advises his customers to
make sure they back the future rather
than get swayed by the big players in
the marketplace.
Future Calls for More Innovative
Projects
For Learn Amp, the next major
release will be an innovative
combination of software features with
templates. This integration will be 100
times quicker to set up and get going.
For this, Duncan and team are coming
up with some more exciting
distribution partnerships in the line in
specific sectors where the company
knows it can deliver well.

36. How Finest Wireles
Changing The Comm
Wireless communications are one of the better
domains of technology development of our
time. This progress is being driven by the shift
of what has been largely a medium for supporting voice
telephony into a medium for supporting other services. The
demand for new wireless capacity is growing at a quick
pace. In the present day, the wireless communication
system has become an important part of different types of
wireless communication devices, which permit the user to
communicate even from remote operated areas. There are
many devices used for wireless communication like
mobiles, Cordless telephones, GPS, Wi-Fi, satellite
television and wireless computer parts. Current wireless
phones include 3G and 4G networks, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
technologies.
Let's see how the following emerging communication
technologies are going to make the communication systems
better and efficient to use.
5G Enables High-Speed Internet for Masses
The 5G cellular technology is upon us, we might see 5G get
adapted in major cities by the end of 2019 or at the
beginning of next year. The technology supposed to
compliment Wi-Fi as the speed of the internet is going to
improve by the introduction of 5G. The speed is not the
only thing that 5G is going to provide as its prices are going
to be economical. The evolution of 5G will help in setting
high-speed internet services for individuals and
organizations on the Internet of Things and low latency
applications.
Vehicle-to-Everything Wireless (V2X) Compulsory in
Future for All Vehicles
V2X wireless system will allow normal and autonomous
cars to communicate with each other and with the
infrastructure on the route. This new technology will help in
gathering and exchanging information related to safety,
navigation, and infotainment. With the development of self-
driven cars catching up the speed we might see V2X be
made compulsory in the future for all the vehicles. But, this
system needs hi-speed internet service to work.
Long Range Wireless Power to Replace Power Cables
The long-range wireless power someday in the future going
to replace the power cables from electronic appliances like
computers, mobiles, and gadgets used in the kitchen. But,
the initial wireless power systems were not that successful
in providing the experience that the users expected. The
information that is available combined with current
technology will help to redesign the communication system
that will fit into living spaces. Previously, the device needed
to be kept in a certain place, which is a slight improvement
on the cable charging devices.
Low Power Wide Area Networks Provide Long-range
Wireless Connectivity
Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) technology come up as a
phrase in 2013 not as a new technology standard, but rather
as a category of wireless technologies that are well suited to
the specific needs of machine-to-machine and IoT devices.
Most of IoT devices, especially those in cities and industrial
sectors, don't require the same speed and bandwidth of
consumer cellular devices. LPWA Network (LPWAN)
technologies enhance the business case for IoT solutions,
offering a cost and power-efficient wireless option that
leverages existing networks, global reach, and strong built-
in security.
Wireless Sensing Enforce Effective Communication
A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) can be specified as a
network of devices that can communicate the information
gathered from a monitored field through wireless links. The

data is moved forward through different nodes and with a gateway, the data is connected to other networks like wireless
Ethernet. WSN is a wireless network that includes base stations and numbers of nodes (wireless sensors). Networks are used
to monitor physical or environmental conditions like sound, pressure, temperature and co-operatively pass data through the
network to the main location.
Enhanced Wireless Location Tracking is Precise
Wireless communication systems are used to sense the locations of the
devices connected to them. The highly accurate tracking
system can precisely locate the device up to one meter.
The data generated from the device can be used in
different business areas like marketing,
channel management and the Internet of
Things.
Millimetre-Wave Wireless Provide
High Speed at Lower Frequency
The improvement in
technologies over the past
decade has allowed the
widespread use of millimeter-
wave to address the challenges
of lower frequency and high-
speed communications. The
evolution of network
technologies from 1G to 5G
has taken almost five decades
from 1G in the 1980s to 5G in
the 2020s. The possibility of
achieving data rates of up to 10
gigabits per second, where the data
rates are restricted to less than 1
gigabit per second in microwave
frequencies has increased. The
application of millimeter waves to
automotive radar solutions, high-speed point-
to-point communication, streaming high-
resolution videos, and carry large amounts of data.
37

38. Backscatter Networking Leveraging Existing RF Signal Resources
Backscatter communication technology has been introduced recently. It is becoming a go-to choice for self-sustainable
communication systems as an external power supply or a dedicated carrier emitter is not required. By using existing RF
signal resources, backscatter technology can support sustainable and independent communications and consequently open up
a whole new set of applications that facilitate Internet-of-Things.
Software-Defined Radio making it Assessable for All
Software-defined radio is an RF
communication system that incorporates a
significant amount of this software-based
signal-processing functionality. It is a
concept according to which RF
communication is achieved by using
software to perform signal-processing tasks
that are typically performed by hardware.
This communication system provides a
vehicle for carefully analyzing RF signals
and experimenting with modulation and
decoding techniques. It also makes custom
RF communication systems more
accessible to those who have limited
experience with RF design.
Wi-Fi 6 More Reliable with Speed
Wi-Fi 6 will ultimately enhance the
experience for all wireless users, from
office workers, who will find that their
devices communicate more securely and
quickly in crowded offices, to people
supporting constellations of IoT devices.
Customers will find that they can pack
more low-power devices into a space with
fewer access points.
Wireless communications globally are
something that people can expect as
technology advances. Wireless
communications have a lot of benefits and
can make the world a lot more efficient. It
does have concerns though as with every
other new advancement that is made in
today's world. The difficulties with security
regarding access to a person's personal
information or the negative impact that it
may seem to have on society are a few
things that are keeping back the progress
that wireless technology could be making.
38
Innovating Wireless Technologies

40. Today, e-learning and technology support can be
utilized in most training and skills development
processes. As a result, its impact can be regarded
as means of delivering outcomes like cost reductions,
improved and consistent rates of lifelong learning,
increased productivity, drive for innovation, and healthy
competitiveness. To enhance employee performance,
organizations can integrate and align individual learning
with their skill requirements to deliver personalized
training programs. Here, smart learning technology
comes into play, which is adaptive and provides
personalized experiences based on user data.
Delivering the right blend of training and performance
support is only one ‘click-away’ in the Percepium LMS
platform. Percepium embraces the networked society
and captures the user requirements in its solution by
keeping the learning consumers under constant focus.
This world-class platform’s contributions to the e-
learning space are the adaptive training scenarios based
on pre-knowledge, competency profiling along with
training administration automation.
Influence Leading to Innovation
With a decade of rich industry experience, Ola
Badersten, the Managing Director & Owner of
Percepium. He holds an MSc in Economics and
Political Science from LSE and is professionally a
skilled leader, visionary entrepreneur, and management
consultant. The unique combination of internet
technology and education was the concept that spiked
his interest towards this industry. Another key driving
factor that influenced him was Ola’s lifelong learning
perspective that he has always possessed. Due to his
keen interest in distance learning, he strived to make it
even more efficient by taking it to the next level. In
doing so, he worked in the field by providing
commissioned education solutions for large corporate
and public authorities from Scandinavia’s largest
university.
On comparing the traditional ways of education with e-
learning, Ola says, “I do not see it as separate parts. It is
only two different modalities of training distribution.
Knowing the pros- and cons of each modality you can
decide what to use, or a combination. It is not either-or.”
Therefore, a combination of best of both approaches
including others is leveraged on Percepium’s platform.
