Title:: The Big Switch: Moving Training and Assessment to Mobile Devices

Synopsis:

Covidien Vascular Therapies issued Apple iPads to their travelling sales team in January 2011. The iPads are used for sales presentations, but they also provide easy access to online training modules that reps can take between appointments to acquaint themselves with new products. Each module includes quizzes that indicate how well reps have understood the material. Regional managers and field trainers also use iPads to administer observational assessments for certifications. This presentation will explain how to take advantage of the opportunities opened up by the ability to deploy Questionmark assessments on mobile devices.

See how learning staff take advantage of centralized, automated reporting to provide quick reports and metrics to regional managers. Find out what sorts of questions and assessments are most suitable for mobile delivery.
