Rethinking 3 Key Ideas for Greater Learning Outcomes:
Content, Skills, and Perspectives
"It's an empowering approach to learning," says
King. "I received an email from an employee who'd
enrolled in leadership courses through the catalog.
She told me what a confidence booster the training
had been and that she now feels that she can apply
for a higher-level posi on in the agency. That's a
core goal of our department, growing the next
genera on of leaders, and we're able to do it much
more effec vely with OpenSesame."
"Online training is less expensive and logis cally
easier to administer," explains Funk. "We have a
main campus and 13 branch offices, making travel
and work me a considera on set for classroom
learning. Learning so ware such as OpenSesame
recaps employees' progress, measures courses
completed, and what is resona ng with learners.
We have seen tangible increases in employee
output, produc on, and behavior modifica on,
which are metrics for ROI."
"Having a strong learning culture and a modern
approach to learning is a rac ve for hiring talent
and retaining exis ng talent," adds Funk. "Micro
learning classes of 5-15 minutes, plus mobile
learning and cloud-based op ons allow for
employees to engage during their break mes or in
a remote environment. As part of the performance
appraisal process we have u lized OpenSesame
content as a resource to skill, reskill and upskill."
