Introduction to Transit Academy - Inspired and Mobile Learning for the Transit Industry

MOBILE LEARNINGFOR THE INSPIRED TRANSIT AUTHORITY

What is mobile learning?

Mobile Learning is concise and engaging learning material that is “PULLED” by the learner. They get access to content that helps them do their job – when they need it on the device that they want it on

Accenture

“Only 20% of what people need to know to do their jobs comes from formal training – the other 80% comes from informal learning”

We need more than classroom training

And more manuals aren’t the answer

We Want “Bite-Sized” Knowledge

In 2011, YouTube had more than 1 trillion views or almost 140 views for every person on Earth

It is how we learn at home – we learn “On Demand” and we only want the information that we need to perform a specific task. Transit Academy was designed to let us learn that way at work

The current state at your Transit Authority

o How are you teaching your people?

o Are you truly investing in developing your team?

o How are you “On-Boarding” new staff?

o How much time do they spend asking questions of the experts on your team?

o How are you capturing “Tribal Knowledge” before all the experts retire and walk out the door?

What we do

oWe design and develop concise tutorials in the form of video, computer animations, and powerful visuals that illustrate how to do specific tasks

oWe then host this digital library of knowledge in the cloud, and make it accessible on any device – PC, laptop, tablet, mobile phone or shop floor kiosk

oTransit operations + maintenance personnel get access to the information that they need, when they need it

oMembers of Transit Academy can also post their own content – videos, documents, PDFs, and photos which are accessible by all members of Transit Academy

How we do it

oWe build new content every day and add it to our digital library inside Transit Academy

oWe work with clients that want to supplement our “Best Practice” material with custom content that addresses their specific processes and procedures

oWe visit your facility to meet with your team, identify your business objectives, and we build digital content that will help you reach these goals
