Digital Learning in Organizations cover

This essential guide helps L&D professionals ensure their workforce is digitally ready, maximizing the benefits of emerging learning technologies.

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, it is essential for organizations to empower their employees with the latest learning technologies. Digital Learning in Organizations serves as a comprehensive guide for learning and development (L&D) professionals, illustrating how to harness these tools effectively to enhance staff development, productivity, engagement, and knowledge retention. The book emphasizes that without proper training and readiness, investments in technology can lead to missed opportunities.

One of the key focuses of Digital Learning in Organizations is ensuring that the workforce is 'digitally ready.' This involves equipping employees with the necessary skills and understanding to leverage new technologies confidently. The authors provide practical advice on how to utilize various digital tools to foster both social and personal learning while maintaining a balance to prevent distractions. The ability to develop a multi-located workforce simultaneously is also explored, highlighting the flexibility that technology offers.

The book delves into a range of learning technologies, including mobile learning, wearable devices, learning analytics, and immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality. Through insightful case studies from organizations such as Royal Mail and the NHS, Digital Learning in Organizations offers valuable perspectives from leading L&D practitioners. This makes it an indispensable resource for anyone looking to enhance employee performance and adapt to a digital world.
