Sonic Case Study: Going Mobile Without Moving
There is plenty of evidence that mobile devices are an ideal way to access learning content, especially for anyone who travels frequently. However, you don’t have to be on the road to use mobile learning. Any organization with a widely distributed workforce can benefit from it.
In this case study CERTPOINT’s Maria van Vlodrop explains how Sonic, America’s Drive-in, put mobile on its learning menu.
White Paper: Authoring learning content for the 21st Century
Sometimes it can seem impossible to keep up. Another course needs to be created, several more need to be edited and maintained, and down the pipeline you see a new training project that can only mean another slew of course production in the near future.
How can you maintain course production quality and quantity when today’s demand is to produce more content faster than ever before?
In this new CERTPOINT Systems white paper we explore how it’s possible to work smart with authoring to save time and focus the efforts of your team where they can have the most impact.
White Paper: The Top Five Challenges For L&D In 2013
2013 is here, but this is no regular new year for the world of learning. We have reached a tipping point in the changing ways of organizational learning. What in the past might have seemed incredible will this year become the mainstream, and that is going to affect how we all do our jobs.
In this new CERTPOINT Systems white paper, Ara Ohanian explores the five key changes that L&D must be aware of in 2013
Each of these five key changes is a hot topic in its own right. Together they are part of a new world of learning that presents L&D with both a challenge and an opportunity. The challenge: to put L&D at the center of organizational performance. The opportunity: to finally reach our true potential.
White Paper: Can social learning succeed alongside an LMS?
With the emergence of Web 2.0 and social software giants such as Facebook and Twitter as well as new kids on the block such as Pinterest, social networks and tools are increasingly part of our lives. This change forces us to ask several questions of the Learning and Development (L&D) profession. How are these tools impacting employees’ ways of learning and their expectations? How should we integrate them within our L&D practices for business impact? And – possibly most difficult to answer – how can we use social approaches to learning with our existing learning infrastructure, particularly the Learning Management System (LMS)?
These questions in turn lead to other questions.
This white paper explores CERTPOINT Systems’ and VITAMINDS’ perspective on how to best exploit the power of social learning while retaining the existing strengths of organizational L&D and any installed technologies such as Learning Management Systems.

TTI Case Study: Proving the impact of your LMS
Techtronic Industries is a $3.7 billion global company, with operations on every continent and nearly 20,000 employees. Since 1985, the company has grown consistently and rapidly by focusing on excellence in the design, manufacture and marketing of a range of portable power products such as Ryobi and Milwaukee Electric Tools. When he joined Techtronic Industries, Inc. (TTI) in 2006 as Senior VP, Sales, Training & Recruiting, Matt DeFeo was determined to ensure the same focus on excellence also applied to the learning and development function. DeFeo’s approach was to establish the right systems to ensure valuable learning and to demonstrate that impact with hard numbers.
TTI succeeded in meeting its corporate aims in 2011 and DeFeo was able to show the company’s learning management system (LMS) was part of that success in three different areas.
This case study outlines the three methods used, explores why they were successful and examines why the choice of LMS – CERTPOINTVLS™, from CERTPOINT Systems – was so important.
