Until 1900, the total amount of the world\u2019s knowledge doubled every 100 years\u2014so said Buckminster Fuller, one of America\u2019s most renowned thinkers and inventors. By the end of World War II, knowledge was doubling every 25 years. At the present time, knowledge worldwide is estimated to be doubling approximately every 12 to 13 months.<\/p>\n
For businesses that need to keep employees abreast of at least some of this new information, the question becomes, \u201cHow do we do it efficiently, effectively, and painlessly?\u201d<\/p>\n
As an example, companies with fleets of drivers are replacing in-the-classroom lessons and in-the-cab sessions with a variety of online driver training modules that are available.<\/p>\n
Want to update your driver skills in specific areas? Put that information in a training module and place it in your company\u2019s Learning Management System (LMS). Don\u2019t have an LMS? There are companies that will host the modules you create for your company.<\/p>\n
Want to quickly and easily provide an orientation for new drivers? Utilize an orientation module in your LMS–and link it to a test so that supervisors and managers will know when the training is completed and how well the content was mastered.<\/p>\n
Driver training modules that are SCORM compliant can even be moved among different Learning Management Systems, allowing modules produced by one company to be licensed for use by others. Reinventing the wheel is no longer necessary. Growth in communication technology now allows for rapid customization of training modules including information focused on a company\u2019s specific needs and messages.<\/p>\n
