Introduction

Keeping the workforce relevant for the industry is a big hurdle for corporates today. Learning technologies have tremendously evolved in the past decade, bringing in new methods of imparting training to employees. So far, many mid and large-sized organizations used the Learning Management System (LMS), which enabled them to create learning material for their workforce. The system is basic, where content is centrally uploaded, and employees undergo a training session and quiz – marking the end of the learning process. It is an organisation’s responsibility to provide their employees better tools to upgrade their skill set and stay relevant in the industry.
