White paper

Customer e-learning

 

 

The festive season has a disturbing tendency to spotlight strengths - and more often weaknesses - in one very particular area of the human skillset…

We're talking about shopping, an activity which - in this globalised, online age - can involve mastering formidable bodies of product knowledge, complicated financial concepts, and making tough mental calculations across different currency rates, time zones and measurement systems.

When we think of the word 'e-learning' we usually think of web-based learning in formal education and training. Yet arguably, there is more e-learning taking place among consumers. A huge amount of learning is taking place on the web as ordinary members of the purchasing public hunt for information on cars, financial services, holiday destinations, flights, hotels, help with health problems, recruitment…

Often this new, educated consumer has the edge on the humans he or she encounters in retail outlets - being the more motivated learner! Doctors see patients who know as much about their condition, investigative techniques and treatment options as the experts. Consumer and supplier are in competition for knowledge.

Customer e-learning is already big business. Surely the e-learning industry has a lot to learn here about how e-learning could be branded, communicated, marketed and delivered?

Demonstrate your own wisdom as a consumer by ordering this new white paper by Donald Clark, Epic.
