In a world that is constantly changing due to technological developments and digitisation, factories have to adapt again and again. One of the most important aspects of this is training and keeping employees up to date in the workplace. Mobile learning is a powerful way of learning to tackle this challenge quickly and effectively. With an e-learning platform such as Pluvo, companies in the production industry can give their employees access to relevant training courses anywhere and at any time. In this blog, we explain why mobile learning is the future for factories and how it contributes to strengthening skills, productivity and safety in the workplace.
Mobile learning, also known as m-learning, means that employees can learn via smartphones, tablets or laptops where and when it suits them best. This is essential for factories that have to deal with shifts, shifts and flexible work schedules. It offers the possibility to integrate learning material into daily activities without employees having to leave the workplace for long and the production process is negatively affected.
It's no coincidence that mobile learning is becoming increasingly popular. Research shows, among other things, that:
This offers enormous opportunities for the production industry. The company that is now focusing on mobile learning creates employees who are ready for the future and who work flexibly, faster and more focused.
1. Learn anywhere, anytime
Employees in a factory are often not found behind a desk, but are constantly moving around the workshop, factory, or warehouse. Mobile learning makes it possible for employees to view subject matter during short breaks or at quiet moments, without interrupting the production process. The result: faster and more effective learning and immediate application in the workplace.
2. Increased engagement through interactive modules
By using short videos, quizzes, gamification, and realistic scenarios, learning doesn't become boring or abstract. In practice, this means that employees are more motivated and engaged. They practice 'on demand' and can apply skills immediately, reinforcing the learning effect.
3. Flexible and scalable
The larger your organisation, the more complicated training becomes. With mobile learning, thousands of employees can be trained simultaneously, without having to deal with logistical problems or costs for physical training. New procedures or safety standards can be implemented quickly and clearly.
4. Real-time insight and feedback
With tools like Pluvo, managers and trainers get immediate understanding in who completed which modules and what results were achieved. Based on this, targeted improvements can be made and the team receives targeted coaching. As a result, the learning process is continuously improved and the quality is increased.
5. Cost savings
Organising physical workouts with trainers, location rental, travel costs and catering is expensive. Mobile learning makes costly physical training obsolete. Not only is it cheaper, it's also sustainable, because content can be reused and shared with all locations and teams at no extra cost.
