Skillsoft, a pioneer in the field of technology-delivered learning, and Triple Creek, a leading provider of enterprise social learning and knowledge sharing software, are collaborating on an integrated solution that will provide mutual customers access to Skillsoft's library of expert content directly from Triple Creek's social learning platform. Recommended Skillsoft resources will be highlighted to River social learning participants based on such factors as the competencies they identify and the social learning engagements they are involved in.
"Incorporating key resources such as Skillsoft's library is the next evolution of social learning, allowing us to bring people together for a common learning purpose, help them establish goals and provide them with relevant content to discuss as they collaborate and share insights," said Randy Emelo, president and CEO of Triple Creek. The matching algorithm in River serves up the learning resources from Skillport that are relevant to people's learning needs within River, creating a seamless learning experience.
One of the toughest challenges for learning and development leaders is meeting the needs of today's learners. From multiple generations within the employee base to a dispersed workforce, companies must be adept at providing solutions that appeal to people in a variety of ways. In a 2013 benchmarking study by Towards Maturity called "New Learning Agenda," researchers found that:
"The most effective learning programs blend together hands-on experience, support from knowledgeable colleagues, and a range of learning resources," said John Ambrose, Senior Vice President of Strategy, Corporate Development and Emerging Business at Skillsoft. "Having the expert content from Skillport available within the framework of River's learning engagements, for those Skillsoft customers leveraging the River platform, is an exciting step forward for corporate learning and development programs."
