The document proposes creating a social learning platform to enhance learning beyond the classroom. It discusses how traditional classroom training has limitations like long sessions, limited review options, and difficulty creating peer communities. The proposed platform would allow learning materials to be accessed before, during, and after training. It would also facilitate social networking and interaction between students and instructors. MindTickle's turnkey solution provides tools to customize training materials and delivery, as well as analytics on participation and content absorption. The platform offers security, self-serve content updates, and engagement features to make learning more effective and efficient compared to traditional e-learning.

Adult learning needs to be more social, interactive and build on people’s
intrinsic motivations. Thankfully we have gamification…
Classroom (ILT) training today: The opportunity:

attention span with their peers and the instructors
even after the training is over
 Limited options for content review
 A system that allows participants to
 Limited opportunity for peer to peer review the material from the training
learning and exchange of ideas before and after the training sessions
 Peer communities of learners are  A system that enables the learners to
hard to create provide continuous feedback to the
 Hard to collect feedback instructors and vice-versa
