Training on the Go

Last week, due to my own personal discovery of online tools (which are available to anyone seeking knowledge or the means of providing it), I was able to complete a book that would have otherwise taken me about two weeks. LMS training courses could benefit from this kind of gap time.

My daily chores and commutes suddenly became interesting and relevant to my life, and they seemed to go by faster. In just four days, I had read the whole Book I of Don Quixote, without making any changes in my daily schedule.

Every employee, no matter what their daily routines are, can surely find at least an hour or two daily that is "sunk" time, or time when they are not doing much other than skimming the newspaper in the subway, driving, or exercising. Everyone has gap spaces in their schedule while are perfect times for learning.

Podcasts and audiobooks are a pedagogical tool not used widely enough in today's education system, from youth to adult learning. With LMS platforms for employee online training, podcasts are extremely easy--and fun--to create.
