May is here, the weather is warming up and the situation at the moment remains fairly unchanged from the last update. As we have discussed in our post, ‘A Guide to Using Learning Technologies for Online Delivery’, training departments are having to adapt fast to the disruption that COVID-19 has caused. For training departments that have relied predominantly upon face-to-face training sessions or a blend of learning deliveries, there is now little option but to take their training fully online.

Ever wanted to keep your learners in the loop with announcements and news articles? What about giving your subject matter experts a way to share their valued expertise? Could it really be possible to transport the interactivity of face-to-face workshops into Thinqi?
Absolutely. Get ready, it’s our most exciting update yet…
