27. “Anytime” training is desired; classroom time seen as meddlesome
Even large companies in 2012 still put key employees on planes to teach
across the country, or across the world; human presence still valued
Outsourced jobs to key locations like India and Manila are a fertile ground to
leverage remote services
Some large companies still lack formalized training beyond “on the job”, “1-on-
1” mentorship, or handing out PPTs
Potential added value by integrating principles of Instructional Learning Theory
for proven retention – VERY complicated to build legitimate program
A lot of corporate training is focused around compliance and not advancement
On-boarding still often involves binders and papers that aren't read or checked
for understanding

28. Technology enhances the perceived value of training, whereas paper
diminishes it (at least in younger generations)
iPad adoption is being discussed by many firms, but adoption timeline
unclear
Companies are moving to support mobile devices, but often put
restrictions such as only corporate issue can access internal
resources
iPad adoption as a part of their current training software solution has
been discussed as a medium for expanding language offerings
