Domenic Caloia - Adaptive Design for Personalized Learning

The Gamification Quest

The Company provides online training for its global sales and technical staff.

Training a global workforce presents several problems. Sales and technical both need product training, but while their needs differ, there is a significant overlap that blurs the boundaries. The common solution is to create different training for each group, but this is inefficient, and many employees find the need to train in both. In addition, regional differences tend to be ignored in order to meet training deadlines.

This project addresses the problem of training two different yet closely aligned groups while dealing with global differences. Adopting an adaptive design for training allowed the Company to successfully address these issues.
