The 2021 LinkedIn Learning Report listed upskilling and reskilling as one of the top three areas of focus for L&D programs. While continuous professional development increasingly resonates with the modern workforce, engaging learners for the long term continues to pose a challenge among employers whose teams are likely already juggling a variety of priorities. More than that, constant cultural shifts present even more challenges for effectively providing impactful learning experiences that take training beyond initial onboarding and compliance. Fortunately, the eLearning market continues to diversify, creating more opportunities for creative content, customizable solutions, and increased engagement in order to supercharge online training. 

Join Open LMS on Tuesday, March 1st at 12:00 pm EST as we explore the latest trends, tips, and strategies to bolster engagement and future-proof your learning programs.

During the session, we’ll explore:

• Challenges related to sustaining and scaling eLearning, and how to prevent them by shifting your approach to engagement and impact
• Leveraging robust technologies in order to effectively support the evolution of your organization
