The challenge with the majority of learning that goes on in organizations is that it is quickly forgotten. Modern neuroscience tells us that in an increasingly complex digital world, with so much competing for our attention, a majority of what we learn in organizational training is forgotten within days. With the amount of time, money, and energy spent on developing these learning experiences, it is critical that organizations find ways to maximize their investment by ensuring learners retain the information they are given.

In this session you will explore the ways mobile technology can reinforce training. You will learn how to maximize knowledge retention and improve on-the-job performance. You will also review best practices and strategies to boost learner engagement through mobile applications. This session will also feature a case study from General Electric that explicitly addresses the issues around knowledge retention.

In this session, you will learn:

• The challenges with current learning methodologies
• The value and the need for learning reinforcement
• How to leverage mobile technology to close the learning/performance gap
