 Danfoss ties learning to performance: Case Study
In keeping with its global leadership status in the manufacture of modern utility products, the Danfoss Drives division decided to adopt a blended learning solution to replace its traditional training methodology. Danfoss envisioned that this integrated knowledge solution would engage its learners during the training sessions and provide them with a better understanding of the functional and technical aspects of its wide range of products. This learning initiative included assembly/disassembly procedures, testing, and troubleshooting. The learning modality needed to enable Danfoss service technicians at different levels to maintain high productivity and technical competence in addition to capturing critical skills, thereby fulfilling an aggressive new performance management initiative.
 Keeping pace with K-12 Online Learning
Online learning at the k-12 level has grown so much in recent years that the main issue in most states is no longer whether or not online learning is occurring, but rather how it is being implemented. As of September 2007, 42 states have significant supplemental online learning programs (in which students enrolled in physical schools take one or two courses online), or significant full-time programs (in which students take most or all of their courses online), or both. Only eight states do not have either of these options, and several of these states have begun planning for online learning development. In addition to the spread of online learning programs to most states across the country, the majority of existing online programs show considerable growth in the number of students they are serving.
