SB203 Nano-coaching: Using Mobile Devices to Support On-the-Job Learning
12:00 PM - 12:45 PM Wednesday, June 25
New Possibilities Stage
The development of workplace skills happens primarily through on-the-job experience and reflection on that experience. A key to the success of on-the-job learning is the quality of coaching by managers and experts. The problem is that on-the-job learning and coaching can be haphazard and difficult to manage and track. In reality, most managers don’t provide effective coaching and feedback when it is needed. How can we leverage mobile technology to support the coaching process? In this session, you’ll see how an organization used the TREK Learning Experience Manager, mobile software built on the Experience API (xAPI), to enable short, frequent, asynchronous, and targeted coaching interactions—”nano-coaching.”
