It‘s common knowledge in the talent development community that learning happens primarily on the job. The 70:20:10 framework states that only 10% of learning is formal classroom or eLearning, 20% is informal, and 70% is experiential. Despite its importance, on-the-job learning is rarely implemented in a systematic way. That’s because it tends to be haphazard, inefficient, and difficult to manage and track.
In this session you’ll learn how Cognitive Apprenticeship principles implemented through emerging technologies can finally make on-the-job learning a practical reality. Cognitive Apprenticeship combines the best of the traditional apprenticeship model with principles based on cognitive research on learning. The result is a set of guidelines for accelerating the process of developing skills. Mobile technologies, Experience API (Tin Can), and badges have made it practical to implement on-the-job learning. You’ll see case examples of how an on-the-job learning path was deployed on employees’ smartphones. They accessed video modeling and performance support at the moment of need. They used their phone’s sensors (camera, audio, video and GPS) to capture evidence of work and submit it to coaches for feedback and guidance. The Experience API enabled tracking, learning analytics, and the awarding of badges. You’ll see the results of a pilot study of the technology supported on-the-job learning process and hear lessons learned that you can apply in your organization.
Application on the job—
You’ll be able to apply Cognitive Apprenticeship guideline to the design of on-the-job learning in your organization.
You’ll discover how mobile technology and the Experience API can support and optimize the on-the-job learning process

Pilot Results
“I love the ability to communicate back and
forth with my employees.
I love being proactively prompted that
something is ready for me to review. This
system gives me a reason to talk with my
people about customers and issues so I can
tell if they understand what they’re learning.
I liked it so much I want to coach more
people.”

Pilot Results
The impact on our students is profound.
They really feel completely prepared to go in as
first year teachers and to be able to say,
“I know exactly what I want to accomplish with
the kids.”
They feel much clearer about what they can do
and need to do when they get their own
classrooms.
What I’m seeing is a broader, deeper
understanding of these practices and a
confidence. - NLU Professor
Start with two stories – SSA formal --- Quadel - informal
How many are responsible for complex skills?
What are the goals, outcomes for learning?
Skills Gap:
Skilled Talent is critical to business/organization success
There is a growing skills gap
Learning and Development Leaders are under pressure to close that gap
How Skills are Developed: (Center for Creative Leadership)
Only 10% of skills are developed through formal courses
Skills are mainly developed on-the-job (70%) and through informal learning and coaching (20%)
On-the-job learning can be inefficient, haphazard, and hard to track and measure
Technology Gap:
Existing Technologies – Talent and Learning Management Systems were build to handle foral course
They don’t handle on-the-job learning and coaching – TREK does!
But the 90% is left to random chance – it’s haphazard, inefficient, slow, and there is damage along the way - like what happened to my mother.
How
Over the last two decades, I applied cognitive Science research to develop a methodology to reduce the time to proficiency. My previous company provided the solution – to design a systematic set of experiences, supported by targeted coaching and feedback, and on-demand content.
But our clients found it was too hard to manage the on-the-job experiences, the coaching process.
The problem was that the current entrenched technology – the Learning management systems – only handle the 10% the formal courses. They are useless for the rest.
Our clients needed a technology that goes beyond the traditional learning management systems to make it easy to manage and track, on-the-job experiences and to optimize the development of sills.. And since it didn’t exist…
We built the TREK Learning Experience Manager fill that gaping hole.
Why is this:
The research shows that formal courses get you only 10% of the way to proficient performance.
It’s all about RESULTS…Learning and Development organizations are under increasing pressure to show their work translates into business results – can people actually do their jobs better?
And those L&D organizations KNOW that on-the-job learning is the key to developing the knowledge and skills that people need to do their jobs. 58% of companies plan to invest in learning that combines traditional classroom with on-the-job learning.
But….they don’t necessarily know HOW TO DESIGN effective on-the-job learning opportunities, and - even if they know how to build it - they don’t have the tools they need to manage, track and support on-the-job learning.
The best learning organizations – like Yahoo - realize they need to offer on-the-job learning opportunities that truly build the knowledge and skills people need to do their jobs.
But they don’t have the technology platforms to manage, track and support the on-the-job learning.
Today’s tools - called Learning Management Systems – only handle the formal courses.
Yahoo is working with us to fill that gap – by using TREK Learning Experience Manager so that they can manage, track and support ALL learning – including on-the-job learning.

Learning is becoming inseparable from work –
in our knowledge society – change is the norm –
always new and better ways – information explosion.
