What can you teach in 100 seconds?

Veteran eLearning professionals at Tata Interactive Systems have created a simple, user friendly Word-document template that you fill in and send to them. This document is used to co-ordinate the production of "learning nuggets". Training professionals can broadcast these short-but-powerful training nuggets from their own broadcast console, which TIS installs on their PC or Laptop.

As a training professional for a bank (or any other corporation) that has just launched a whole new range of term deposits (or insurance products or any other product or service), you can remind your top management team of the details of these products and create short learning messages with audio, video, and interactivity in the regular local TV format. From your own laptop, using the specially installed broadcast console software and your regular computer network system, you can then broadcast these nuggets of information to your selected target audience.

Learning topics include "how to manage your meetings more effectively", "how to sell more powerfully", and more. Currently, TIS has off-the-shelf and ready-to-deploy nuggets for personal-effectiveness training, communication training, and banking-services training and it has the capability to create customized nuggets for its clients based on content the client provides.

"It has been shown that this new form of learning is enjoying a high degree of acceptance, and topics can be conveyed very quickly, efficiently and attractively. Learning nuggets obviously correspond to many people's needs and habits today, and not just the YouTube generation", says Martin Raske, Global Head of eLearning at Credit Suisse.

The first series of a dozen nuggets is available for a free seven-day trial version, after which process start from $3000 per nugget. You can avail of special pricing if you place your order before midnight, 31 December.

Join the half-day simulation learning experience

The scheduled Simulation Day workshop at the Taj Hotel, London, on 14 December 2011 is a chance for learning professionals and senior executives to get a comprehensive first impression of the TOPSIM blended business simulations and how they can be used in a real- life business-training environment.

Simulation learning is ideally suited for all vertical sectors - including busy managers and management trainees, staff in human resources, research and development, sales, production, finance, and administration roles. The online learning tool creates a safe environment for staff with little or no business experience so that they can retain more critical information.
