COVID-19 forced the world to rely on their current digital solutions more heavily, including online learning. 

As today’s professionals compete in an ever-changing digital world, they rely on learning to advance their careers. COVID-19 is challenging the ways learning professionals have relied on traditionally to engage their learners.

For many in the learning field, COVID-19 has thrust us into uncharted territory. We’re doing our best to stay home as much as possible, which in many cases means figuring out how to do our jobs from home. And even if we’re not working from home, we’re grappling with how to engage learners who are suddenly remote.

For the next few weeks, COVID-19 has many of us staying home as much as we can. Schools, places of worship, bars, and restaurants are closed for now. The CDC recommends we limit in-person gatherings to 10 or fewer people. And companies across the country are moving to a work-from-home policy (whether they feel ready for it or not).

Are you worried that no one’s using those cool, new courses you purchased? And, if they do, who’s tracking their progress? 

The BenchPrep team attended and exhibited at the Training Conference & Expo 2020 in Orlando last week. This conference was nothing short of amazing for us as we had many insightful conversations, learned a lot about the current challenges within the training industry, and soaked up some sun (can you blame us? We’re from Chicago!)
