The corporate learning and development market has undergone dramatic change over the last decade. Change which has been accelerated by the Covid 19 pandemic. Organizations have come a long way from training staff with lengthy, page-turning courses, to implementing a wide variety of videos, small micro-learning experiences, mobile apps, and intelligent, adaptive learning platforms. The most crucial aspect of corporate learning that has come to the fore is that businesses must adapt to the ways that their employees prefer to learn.

For the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) of the British Government, the need was somewhat the same. The FCO wanted a learning management system (LMS) and mobile learning apps to improve the professional skills of over 25,000 diplomatic staff worldwide. As their staff are based in British consulates and embassies worldwide, their jobs entail traveling extensively on official business. No LMS solution provider on the market was better suited for FCO’s requirements than Agylia Group—a learning technologies company that empowers organizations to support their employees with innovative learning management, mobile learning, and custom e-learning solutions. Agylia provided the FCO with a flexible, mobile, and highly secure solution that provides their staff with accurate, up-to-date digital learning content and support materials on the go. The robust learning management platform ensures that the FCO’s digital learning and reference content is delivered to large concurrent user numbers while providing a central point to manage all learning and support materials for distribution, tracking, and management. The solution is capable of traditional online access and also distributing content through mobile apps, which can be accessed anywhere and anytime—online or offline. The platform also offers strong security measures to ensure complete protection of user data.

At the core of this amazing feat is the Agylia LMS—a powerful learning platform that offers digital, classroom, and blended learning experiences to employees and external audiences. Agylia injects learning into the flow of work of learners with its mobile offering and provides them with online and offline access to study materials.

With the Agylia LMS, learning is a breeze as it delivers short, bite-sized micro-learning content—courses, assessments, quizzes, and surveys— which are ideal for just-in-time and spaced learning, as opposed to Tim Buff traditional, less readily accessible 45-minutes slabs of e-learning. More importantly, the relatively short videos, podcasts, and documents delivered through Agylia are just what today’s digital natives need. “We ensure that learners can access the right information at the right time on any device, regardless of their location,” mentions Tim Buff, CEO of the company. With Agylia’s solution, users are able to download the digital learning content on an app, on their tablet or smartphone, at office, home, or while traveling. All content interactions are fully tracked even when accessed offline; the tracking data is automatically passed back to the system and content updates are passed back to the app.

With its platform, Agylia solves one of the biggest traditional challenges associated with e-learning and classroom-based training. Buff says, “None of the traditional learning methods overcomes the forgetting curve of learners, which directly impacts an individual’s capability to recall the topics discussed in the learning material. When using the Agylia LMS, this is no longer the problem as learners can access short bursts of knowledge that sharpen their learning.” As a distributed cloud-based system, Agylia’s platform is easy to deploy, scalable, and secure. The company adheres to strict security practices and uses highly secure hosting facilities to keep clients’ intellectual property (IP) and their users’ personal information confidential. Agylia ensures that the user interfaces are multilingual, fully brandable and exceptionally graphical, with special attention to the look and feel of the system. In order to serve clients better, Agylia supervises every implementation and provides consultation free of charge.

Agylia’s impressive clientele consists of some of the world’s leading brands, including Microsoft, Deloitte, PwC, HSBC, Samaritans, and The Chartered Institute of Marketing, to name a few. Moving ahead, Agylia plans to add and refine features like QR codes and geolocation while also providing integration with scheduling software to enable field workers with relevant, just-in-time content. By using AI, Agylia is looking to filter the content and present the best options for learners. With that, users can manage the information they receive through the learning platform, be it news updates, learning materials, blogs, articles— all personalized to their needs.
