Welcome to the Age of Immediacy.
We're in a new era of learning, one in which learners expect information
to be available anywhere and anytime. How do you make sure your learning
experiences keep up with the pace of workplace transformation?
In Learning in the Age of Immediacy: 5 Factors for How We Connect,
Communicate, and Get Work Done, learning strategist Brandon Carson
argues that five edge technologies (augmented reality and virtual
reality, the cloud, mobile, big data, and the Internet of Everything)
are transforming the modern workplace, requiring new learning methods to
empower the modern worker. Through real-world case studies and
interviews with industry experts and business leaders, he shows how
these technologies affect training's design, delivery, and evaluation.
He also provides practical advice to integrate the five factors into
your learning strategy, helping you answer important questions along the
way: What will the workforce you support look like in the next several
years? How will you provide in-the-moment learning for the streaming
economy the cloud has introduced? Do you have a mobile learning
strategy? (You should). And how will you use the emerging practice of
data science to provide evidence of training's value to the business?
The stakes are high, and these factors could be the difference between
achieving measurable results or driving your learners to seek solutions
elsewhere. Use Learning in the Age of Immediacy to create a learning
plan that will serve your workforce now and in the future!
