In the last few years Digital Learning Technology has changed organisations in the way that they do business.
I worked for Lloyd's Register of Shipping for over 12 years and in that time there were many changes. I started as a secretary and ended up and IT Trainer.
Believe it or not, I started using a typewriter to type up reports, in triplicate using carbon paper.
That was hard if you were not a proficient typist as one mistake could take quite a while to rectify.
Having computers linked to the main HQ in London was a huge step forward for the company. No longer did we have to wait for mail to arrive or spend hours on the phone for an email would give the same result within a short space of time.
Ernst and Young wrote a report (The Digitisation of Everything) which said that in a world that is digital businesses must embrace technology to stay in the game (2011).
The Department for Business Innovation and Skills in the United Kingdom responding to the FELTAG research and report paper comments on how technology has the potential to engage more learners, improving their learning experience and that it will meet the ever growing needs of the employers (2014).
Companies now have to think about procedures, mainframes, how to help their customers and shareholders. They must use technology to stay 'ahead' of the game.
Schools and colleges are the main users, I feel of DLT and there have been a shift in learning 'outside' the classroom. Some find this easy whilst older students find that they would rather attend a class as perhaps this was the way they were taught.
There is much to think about and lots to discuss on this matter. I haven't really covered it very well so please, if you like, add a comment to this blog. Maybe add your views, I would be interested to read your take on the matter of using DLT within an Organisation.
