Rather than having staff take time off work to sit through training sessions they may or may not remember, many organisations and companies are using technology-driven learning tools to present chunks of information to staff as they need it.
IT particularly lends itself to just-in-time learning tools, as the steps that workers need to learn are often logical and step-based. However just-in-time learning tools are just as useful in all other areas.
