In the current work environment, where the team is dispersed or mobile, how do you ensure that your learning and development initiatives benefit each and every team member?
In this fast paced life where learning is a continuous affair, eLearning empowers the new age learner. Internet acts as a facilitator for this continuous learning process and has become indispensable for eLearning. However, there are many real life scenarios where network connectivity is either unavailable or intermittent, thus hampering the learning experience and in turn have an adverse impact on the training and development efforts of an organization.
So, what is the solution to this?
Can an organization provide its learner Anytime-Anywhere-Any device access to its training courses?
An Offline Player (OLP) can be an apt answer to the question asked. An offline player integrated with an organization’s learning management system (LMS), can provide a seamless and a secure way to deliver access to your SCORM compliant learning content without the need of a continuous internet connection
Learners can have access to training/Learning content from anywhere, anytime and on any device in a secure mode.
This is the time to move beyond awareness.
There were courses available, however, there wasn't enough time to take them online. Bandwidth was also a constraint while traveling.
You could access learning content and courses at your convenience when offline.
2-The Oil and Gas industry needs 60,000 petrochemical engineers by 2016 yet only 1300 graduate from US schools each year. This means that oil companies have to train, retrain, and jointly educate a lot of energy engineers to grow.
1-among the highly advanced companies, as much as 18% of all training is now delivered through mobile devices.
3-A US study of 500 publicly traded firms found that firms that had invested the most in training had a stockholder return 86% higher than firms who had invested the least in training, with a score that was also 46% higher than the market average.

For a company with a multitude of employees in geographically distant locations, it can be very cost beneficial. An asynchronous on-boarding employee training module is consistent and easily updated and maintained. That means it can have a long shelf-life, which can result in a low cost per employee. Similarly, this type of learning is useful to the students pursuing a course from all over the world.
Asynchronous e-Learning usually requires only about 25- 50% of the time required for training in a classroom setting. If the system is used to deliver training on a task or process for a worker in a machine shop, every minute the worker is off the line for training means the product he makes is not being made. If the time needed for the training is shortened, and highly focused, he returns to the line more quickly and has information to improve the job he does.
Multi-device eLearning possible in offline mode
