DES MOINES, IOWA (PRWEB) OCTOBER 31, 2016

Prositions announces a new initiative to create a series of blended-learning courses based on the works of some of the industry’s top selling business books and authors. The subjects will cover a range of topics including leadership, supervision, communication, customer service, and other soft skill training areas. This new series will use a unique instructional design approach that allows organizations to deliver this content in a variety of ways to meet the changing needs of today’s learners.

“Employees want learning content that is short, mobile, quickly accessible, and very flexible,” said Frank Russell, CEO of Prositions, Inc. “We’ve designed a new format that will allow users to serve up content in a variety of different ways, depending on the needs of the organization and individual learners including; traditional classroom delivery, self-paced e-learning, short micro-videos, and more. Today’s employees want more choices and convenient delivery options,” continued Russell, “and this new series will meet all of those demands.”

Research conducted by IDC indicated workers waste a significant amount of time each day searching the Internet for information to answer basic questions or to help them perform better. This lost productivity can quickly add up, averaging $48,000 per employee annually of wasted search time. Prositions’ new learning format can be used as a performance support tool to provide the precise information wanted at the exact moment of need; this can significantly reduce wasted time and energy and boost overall employee productivity.

Recently, Prositions released a new IT literacy performance support solution based on the best-selling dummies® “how-to” book series. The release included over 1,100 short videos (1 to 3 minutes in length) covering the most commonly searched questions for programs like Microsoft Office, Microsoft Windows, Google, Android, Apple iOS, and other related technology topics. The dummies® Performance Support platform has a rapid search engine that serves up short micro-video tutorials which can be played on almost any device or platform.

“The combination of these best-selling books and authors, along with our new content delivery design, will be a real game changer for the industry,” said Jill Dillenburg, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Prositions, Inc. “Our customers have been asking for a flexible content solution that can be delivered in a variety of traditional and non-traditional ways.”

dummies Performance Support Library DES MOINES, IOWA (PRWEB) OCTOBER 4, 2016

Prositions, a leading training content producer and distributor, will release its latest performance support library (in partnership with dummies®, the world’s bestselling reference series and a Wiley brand) at the HR Technology Conference on October 4th, 2016 in Chicago, Illinois. Based on the popular dummies® book series, these micro videos (1-3 minutes in length) quickly step employees through visual how-to examples for MS Windows, MS Office, Google, social networking apps, and other computer literacy topics.

“Most employees already know the basics of how to use MS Windows and Office, so why serve up a two-hour training course when all they really want and need is a quick two-minute tutorial” says Frank Russell, CEO of Prositions, Inc. “Usually, employees will just go out to YouTube or Google to search, but that content isn’t curated in one, safe location and sometimes it can be more confusing than helpful. With our easy-to-use library you can now provide employees with accurate, bite-sized content at their exact point of need. This can save organizations hundreds or even thousands of hours of wasted search time.”

According to research by Interact, 19.8% of business time is wasted by employees searching for information to do their job effectively. The new dummies® Performance Support Library helps employees solve their everyday computer problems in under two minutes, via an easily searchable and centralized source for accurate information and expert guidance from the world’s most trusted how-to brand.

“These new dummies® micro videos can transform the hard-to-understand into the easy-to-use,” exclaimed Jill Dillenburg, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Prositions, Inc. “It’s a high-quality product at a great price, delivered to the end user in a way that is very convenient.”

The dummies® Performance Support Library includes over 1,100 micro videos covering a broad range of the most commonly used technologies, delivered in a format that’s perfect for today’s learners. With flexible delivery methods and pricing structures that include unlimited access for 12 months, organizations can dramatically decrease the amount of time employees spend searching for answers to their technology questions.
