Increasingly - if it is to be effective in eradicating a skills gap - the learning experience must consider the learner's educational background, study track, likes and dislikes, abilities and disabilities, location, and the device used to access the learning materials. This, in turn, means providing today's workforces with learning contents in which a high degree of adaptive personalisation is embedded when these contents are accessed.

This requires new-generation developments in learning content management, enabling the rapid automation of learning-content individualisation. In turn, this should allow the delivery of just the right amount of knowledge, at the right pace, as and when needed, on whatever delivery device workers have available their locations.

This -˜knowledge-on-demand' paradigm is a concept that Giunti Labs Research has been piloting from some time in large EU projects such as Mobilearn, WearIT@Work, and TenCompetence.

At the Learning Technologies 2010 event, being held at Olympia 2, in London on 27 - 28 January, Giunti Labs will be presenting new modules and products resulting from these research projects that add location, mobile, and skills-based content personalisation features to its world leading LCMS solution: the learn eXact Enterprise Suite.

Ola Badersten, Managing Director of Giunti Labs Scandinavia, where eXact Portfolio was designed, comments, "The level of personalisation improvement you can achieve with this approach is generating interest and positive feedback. We believe that this product ends the days of clumsy and ineffective large eLearning modules, which had huge drop-off rates and very low user satisfaction."

The new skills and mobile personalisation features will be presented in two custom presentations being given at a seminar in the Learning Technologies exhibition and at a Learning and Skills event.
