Learning Tailored for a Job

 

Summary:

In general terms, this IpLearn solution could automatically provide learning materials through a computer network to a company’s employees. The learning materials could be intelligently linked to job duties of a position related to an employee. For example, the solution could retrieve a job position related to the employee, determine appropriate learning materials, and present the determined materials to the employee. The solution could allow employees to easily access the appropriate learning materials, and could effectively teach an employee more about a job and how to do the job.
