Teach on Mars reveals a fully inclusive approach to workplace learning with soul
Teach on Mars, Europe’s foremost mobile-led learning technology provider, will be teaming up with client Parfums Christian Dior at LEARNING LIVE 2019 for an interactive workshop to showcase how mobile-led solutions can inject a critical element of humanity into workplace learning. They call it "digital learning with soul", and it has the power to take an organisation's learning culture to the next level.
Teach on Mars will be exhibiting at Learning Live for the second year running on September 4 and 5, after a successful first participation in 2018. Learning Live is the Learning & Performance Institute's flagship annual event, bringing together more than 500 learning leaders from across the world to debate the burning issues in workplace learning and talent development with the most innovative thinkers and vendors in the EdTech industry.
Teach on Mars will be hosting a seminar at the event in which it will present a fresh perspective on how to address some of those issues - including how to create a genuine learning culture, how to tackle the issue of digital transformation in any business and how to harness the potential of social and self-directed learning. More specifically, the company from Sophia-Antipolis in the French Riviera will be revealing how mobile learning holds the key to engaging with and including every single learner, ensuring the reach and impact of workplace learning initiatives across generations, across national or regional cultures and across all functional and hierarchical levels of the organisation. The key to achieving this is understanding that the technology and content of a learning solution are not ends in themselves, but rather the means to creating a unique human connection with every learner on an individual level.
As at last year's Learning Live, the Teach on Mars seminar will be based around exploration of a concrete use case from a flagship client. This year, it is Daniel Muccio, Project Manager at Parfums Christian Dior UK & Ireland, who will be sharing his insights and experience. Daniel has seen first-hand just what an impact mobile-led learning can have as he has deployed his own mobile learning app, developed in partnership with Teach on Mars, to some of Parfums Christian Dior's 6600 Beauty Consultants spread right across the planet. His input is sure to be of value for any organisation looking to deliver a consumer-grade, personalised learning experience to a diversified user population in easily accessible form at the point of need.
Daniel will be joined on-stage by Teach on Mars Chief Storyteller Adam Charlesworth, and the pair will use the Parfums Christian Dior story and draw on the experiences of other blue-chip clients to offer food for thought on the benefits of taking workplace learning mobile. They will also be challenging conventional thinking and correcting some widely-held misconceptions on the subject. "There's nothing new in the idea that a modern learning offer needs to focus on the learner," said Adam. "Everyone says that, but scratch the surface and you'll see that even today's next-gen solutions remain heavily focused on technology, on content and on learning processes. At Teach on Mars, we believe our technology and content offer are the equal of anything in our industry. But we also believe they should be deployed in the pursuit of a more fundamental goal - that of creating an individual human connection with every single learner. Which means not just adapting to individuals' learning style preferences and usage habits, but also understanding and responding to their ambitions, their hopes, even their fears. We call it "digital learning with soul", and I'm delighted to be hosting this session at Learning Live 2019 with Daniel to tell people a little more about it."
The Teach on Mars seminar with Parfums Christian Dior is scheduled to take place on September 5 at 11:30am, in Room Synergie 1.
Away from the seminar stage, Teach on Mars has plenty of great stories to share with visitors to its booth (#13). It has been a busy year for the company since its first participation at Learning Live in September 2018. After announcing the completion of a third round of funding, worth €7 million, in January, enabling the acceleration of commercial expansion most notably in international markets including the UK, Teach on Mars has received three significant industry awards in recent months. In February, it was included for the first time in the Fosway 9-Grid™ and won Bronze Medal in the Digital Transformation category at the highly prestigious Learning & Performance Institute 2019 Learning Awards, with one of its flagship clients Acqua di Parma (also part of the LVMH Group). More recently in July, Teach on Mars was included in the Top 5% of French startups by Earlymetrics, a highly prestigious French rating agency for startups & SMEs. This places the company in the top 150 French startups across all categories and all industries, the rating based on key fundamentals like growth potential, robust management and quality of the business model.
