1. THE NEXUS OF MOBILE AND SOCIAL TECHNOLOGY
IN TRAINING
Presented by Vinay Nilakantan Director of Product
Development and Research, Meridian Knowledge
Solutions, LLC
2. The Impact of Mobile
By 2015, 80% of people accessing the Internet will be doing so from mobile
devices.
Perhaps more important for training, Internet capable mobile devices will
outnumber computers within the next year
The ability for this shift in access to take place is driven by three main
factors:
Increased number of mobile devices
Dynamic web content
Increased network infrastructure to support high bandwidth content
* Statistics provided by The Horizon Report 2011 Edition
4. Social Footprint
The Facebook generation
Everything to go, please
The power of the crowd
Everyone is invited
Stay on your toes (Spotify vs. MOG)
Recognize the power of this
The new outreach for companies
And here comes big data
5. The Mobile Connect
Mobile powerhouses
iPads for everyone
Networking between all devices
2G. 3G. 4G. 4G LTE.
The mobile device replaces the
wallet
Heavy social usage through the

Voice!
6. The intersection of training
Byte sized learning or crumb learning is optimized through a social
experience.
Creating channels where users can subscribe to subject matter
experts
Peer networking through Learning Management Systems or Portals
Corporate training announcements through mobile and social
On the job checklists for real time evaluations
Disconnected Learning Creating more training opportunities
Peer scoring and recognition through Performance Management
support
7. Mobile, Social, Global Some examples
You get assigned for some Required Training / compliance training and a
message will show up in your iPhone notification bar that you have one
training item to complete.
If a forum post that you started gets a response, you get notified of that and
also allows you to update that forum post through a twitter like (128 word
capacity) message. And then keep getting updates to that.
Get real time stats on a mini dashboard on your mobile device that indicates
what courses are the most popular through a ranking system.
If you access a course, through a single click, broadcast that to either
Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn to share with your social network the event of
you taking that course.
Perform a search on the organizations wiki / knowledge base to find quick
answers to questions.
Rate courses and content to influence others who might be interested in that
same content.
