This document summarizes Tim Drewitt's presentation on piloting mobile learning at the law firm Eversheds. Eversheds piloted mobile learning to allow its lawyers to access training content on their mobile devices. The pilot involved developing existing podcasts and a new module into a mobile-friendly format and making them available on BlackBerry and iPad apps. The goals were to see if lawyers would use mobile learning, determine what content and formats worked best, and learn how to design content for mobile. Some challenges included technical issues with apps and ensuring content was engaging at shorter lengths. Tim provided tips such as testing prototypes extensively and challenging definitions of what mobile content could be.

The document discusses evaluating the effectiveness of a just-in-time training app mockup based on multimedia learning principles. It identifies three main design flaws: 1) duplicating audio narration with on-screen text, 2) displaying animations/visuals simultaneously with related text, and 3) including extraneous trivia boxes that could cause cognitive overload. The evaluation finds these elements could reduce learning by directing trainees' attention away from the core content or requiring them to do unnecessary processing of redundant or irrelevant information. Removal of such redundant or extraneous material from the training would help improve the learning experience.

This document provides a summary of online learning tools supported by NAB's Academy Virtual and eLearning team. It describes Quick Learns, which provide quick knowledge on an as-needed basis for busy employees; 3 levels of eLearning solutions of varying complexity, interactivity, and cost; Online Learning Spaces for collaboration and formal learning; Podcasts to share knowledge and experiences; Virtual Classrooms for live, facilitated learning regardless of location; and contact information for the Virtual & eLearning team.
This document summarizes an English program at a Japanese junior college that integrates tutors and computer-assisted language learning (CALL). It describes several components of the program: academic advising with tutors, conversation classes with international tutors, an English lunch program, a writing lab with tutors, and ideas for using video analysis and online tools to enhance oral skills development and self-reflection. Problems and solutions are discussed for each component, with a focus on how CALL can be used to improve scaffolding, feedback and goal setting for students.
This document provides an introduction to e-learning, including definitions, benefits, models, costs, and considerations for implementation. It discusses how e-learning can provide training to employees without travel, at lower costs than classroom training. Both synchronous learning with instructors and asynchronous self-paced learning are covered. While new technology may be helpful, strong instructional design is more important for effective e-learning. Management support is key to overcoming barriers to change and motivation.
This document provides an overview and catalog of courses available on the EnglishCentral learning platform. It includes courses focused on general English skills as well as industry-specific English, including business English. Courses are organized by skill level from beginner to advanced and cover topics such as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and test preparation. The document promotes the platform's integrated web and mobile access and video-based lessons from sources like National Geographic and TED talks. It also shares student success stories and guarantees for skill level advancement.
Rapid e-learning tools promise to allow subject matter experts to quickly create e-learning content. However, the document argues that truly leveraging these tools requires more than just giving experts the tools. While the tools can create sophisticated content, experts often lack the time, instructional design skills, and technical skills needed. Simply handing tools to experts rarely results in successful content and is not a replacement for instructional designers. Rapid e-learning can be effective when used as part of a hybrid approach that leverages internal SMEs, external vendors, and instructional design support.

Here are some initial steps I would recommend based on this scenario:
1. Conduct interviews with managers, supervisors and employees to identify specific language skills needed to use the electronic timesheet system. This will help determine learning objectives.
2. Observe employees using the system to identify where language or process breakdowns typically occur. Note vocabulary, instructions or interfaces that seem unclear.
3. Develop targeted language and cultural lessons focusing on the key tasks, using authentic materials from the system and workplace. Teach in small, contextualized units.
4. Pilot test lessons with a small group and refine based on their feedback and performance. Provide ongoing support and assessment after full implementation.

English is a strategic company asset
The more widespread English

to global commercial
opportunities

English Language
Training in Companies
English Language Training is
complicated and expensive to extend
to the whole organization • Teacher-led training sessions can only be
really effective with maximum 8 – 12
learners per class
• The logistics of organizing teachers and
training sessions for thousands of staff can
be nearly impossible
• Employees have a resistance to textbooks
and similar materials that can make them
feel like they have returned to school
• Staff attending training can often feel
under pressure from conflicting work
demands
• English language training with teachers can
make sense for executives and key staff,
but is almost always unaffordable across
the entire organization
5. The Challenge of
Problem: English Language
Training in Companies
Insufficient Input
In most cases, because exposure to
English only happens in class, learners
are simply not exposed to enough input
for effective language learning.
Also, unguided input can prove
discouraging for learners if it results in a
frustrating experience.
6. The Challenge of
Problem: English Language
Training in Companies
Need for training session optimization
Limited training session time is never
enough to cover all of the following:
• Input • Free discussion
• Presentation • Group Work
• Content Exercises • One-on-one
• Skills Exercises instruction
• Production • Coaching
• Drills • Feedback
• Error Correction • Assessment
• Targeted vocabulary
7. Problem: The Challenge of
English Language
Training in Companies
Dull and Expensive
“E-Learning Platforms”
• Most “E-Learning Platforms” are seen by
learners as dull, and they only use them
when forced to.
• Staff perceive highly structured course-
type e-learning as simly adding to their
workload, and are a turn-off to learners
already stressed by job-related demands
• Most e-learning content does not address
actual learner interests and tastes
• Online material is often unauthentic and
dated; and tends to be artificially limited
to either British English or American
English
