Taking place on January 28, Rob's talk -'Knowledge Transfer on the Move' - shows how the $5bn Maryland company has moved much of its filed sales training onto windows mobile devices. This allowed for faster delivery of key information as well as making it possible to shorten and focus courses.

The presentation covers many of the aspects that have made mobile learning a success for Black & Decker, including user generated content, video development, integration with face-to-face training and the use of the CERTPOINT Systems learning management system.
