The campaign aims to bring forward the challenges that the LnD community face and how the fraternity needs to Go Beyond learning courses that just “ticks-the-box”

With businesses facing the ever-increasing threat of modern disruptions, workplace learning takes even more importance to help organisations face new challenges. For the LnD community, this presents a good opportunity to rethink their learning solutions and do more than what just ‘ticks the box’.

To address this need and to mark the completion of its 15 years, Upside Learning announced a new campaign “Go Beyond”. The campaign aims to discuss the challenges faced by the LnD community and deliberate on how – ‘the way’ learning solutions are designed – can evolve for the future. For the campaign, a hashtag #LnDGoBeyond is being used so that the LnD community can use it while sharing their thoughts making it easier for everyone to search and follow the discussions.

In today’s multi-device world, one of the major challenges is the wide range of devices on which eLearning needs to be supported. Different browsers, manufacturers, models and sizes, operating systems, connectivity modes and platforms further add to this challenge. To ensure that eLearning works properly on multiple devices, thorough testing is essential on actual primary devices and configurations. But not all organisations are equipped with the required resources in terms of manpower, testing tools and devices, nor can they afford to invest their time to thoroughly test eLearning on different combinations.

Upside Learning’s recently launched Multi-device Testing Lab service aims to help such organisations by testing and delivering high-quality learning projects that run consistently across device, browsers and operating systems.

The company has made robust investments in its infrastructure and is equipped with a variety of devices with screen sizes between 240 x 320 and 1280 x 800 pixels, as well as some high-DPI variants. For testing on larger displays, it has Windows PCs, Macs and laptops, while tablets and smart phones, running iOS, Android and Windows, cover the smaller ones. Tools such as Adobe Edge Inspect and Ghostlab are employed for quick and accurate turnaround.

The Testing Lab services team includes highly-experienced quality testing specialists with a cumulative experience of over 50 years in the eLearning testing domain. A meticulously planned rigorous testing process that runs through five broad stages ensures an error-free project with a fast turn-around.

As the countdown to Europe’s leading showcase of organisational and technology learning, Learning Technologies 2015 begins, Upside Learning invites L&D professionals to share their most pressing challenges pertaining to multi-device learning.

The participant to post the most pertinent challenge stands a chance to win the ‘highly sought after’ conference pass (valued at £1099). The pass entitles the winner to the 2 day conference, to be held on 28^th and 29^th January at Olympia Central, London, which is touted to be ‘the must-attend conference’ for all learning and development professionals. With a huge array of sessions to choose from, including keynote addresses, cafe sessions, panels, case studies and theory presentations, the winner will get a chance to listen to, and interact with, some of the leading thinkers and practitioners in workplace learning, gaining practical guidance for his/her challenges today, as well as insights into the big picture of learning tomorrow.

Upside Learning will be publishing answers to the challenges submitted on their blog (www.upsidelearning.com/blog). Alternatively, participants can also look forward to having their challenges addressed by Amit Garg at Upside Learning’s stand (# 146).

This year’s winning entry under the Learning and Development category were submitted jointly by Upside Learning and New York State Psychiatric Institute. The details of the award is as below:

Best Advance in Custom Content:

Bronze: The Shared decision making (SDM) module is developed for behavioral healthcare providers to increase their knowledge about SDM and to encourage its use. Shared decision making (SDM) is an evidence-based practice that involves individuals receiving care and their healthcare providers working together to make important decisions about clinical care. It is a process in which clinicians and individuals receiving care work together to make decisions and select tests, treatments, and care plans based on clinical evidence that balances risks and expected outcomes with patient preferences and values. This approach is often underutilized in healthcare specifically. Anticipated outcomes include increased knowledge about the use of SDM, which in turn will lead to patients’ increased commitment to their care. This course uses an innovative, mind map-style framework, role play examples, character illustrations, infographics, to model to the students how SDM should be implemented.

On this win Amit Garg Co-founder & Director – Custom Learning Solutions said “It’s a moment of pride for us to win this year’s Brandon Hall. It is feels great to be recognized for our expertise in developing high-quality custom content that delivers business impact for our customers. I’d like to congratulate the entire team at Upside Learning for their efforts and attitude to Go Beyond each and every time to deliver great learning solutions”
