How do you deliver your learning and development programmes to your employees?

'Chalk and talk' in the training room may be appropriate in some cases, however for the last fifteen years or more we have seen virtual learning using platforms such as Moodle through to virtual conferences.

If you are delivering content digitally however what is the implication of the migration from the PC by employees to the use of mobile platforms.

Intuition the elearning provider who develop technology-enabled learning programmes for financial services, life sciences and public health have created an infographic as a reminder that we need to review the implications of this trend. (Unfortunately they don't reference the source of the statistics they use in the grapic)

I'd love to see a follow up infographic or an article about what their top tips are for managing the transition effectively - I know some organisations still have staff with out of date computers and browsers that are far from up to date.
