A platform – and a host of features, tools, services and resources to meet every online learning need under the sun. That’s what we’re about!
For a long time, digital learning had remained a poorly served market. Claned founders first observed this during their time working together at Nokia Corporation in the late 1990s. As the years went by, they witnessed little to no significant change.
Organisations and industries were forcing traditional classroom approaches onto digital channels with predictably little impact on learning itself. Nor was this a helpful approach for the organizations’ operations and business outcomes. Something had to change.
Learners, and organisations, deserved better. Eager to offer a solution they had long believed in, Claned founders set out to combine online pedagogy and learning analytics to deliver online learning that could be both engaging and effective.
Before the first impact of the pandemic in early 2020, the digital learning platform market had been an underdeveloped landscape. Decision-makers had a hard time envisioning how well online learning could be done and, as a result, settled for more conventional but less sophisticated solutions.
But as remote work became the new norm, organisations quickly realised that they must innovate and find new ways to train both internal and external target audiences online. The demand for learning data and analytics started growing too, as organisations sought to measure the impact of learning on individual, group, and organisational levels.
In the future, companies must take more seriously the need for competence development and continuous development. We believe that in the future, not all learning will come from top-down approaches but will be more about knowledge sharing within teams. At the same time, artificial intelligence will become a central part of course creation and knowledge acquisition. Therefore, Claned always looks ahead to the next wave which can make learning more high-quality and efficient.
