But we found the way to fix it. We call it Employee–generated Learning.

Why is traditional corporate learning broken?

Problem

L&D teams spend over half their time updating content

The more content you create, the more updates you need. This endless cycle leaves no time for big-picture projects and new initiatives.

Solution

Updating content is a shared responsibility

Subject-matter experts update their own courses, keeping content fresh while freeing up L&D's time for big-picture training.

Problem

Employees wait weeks or months for e-learning courses

Course creation involves lengthy back-and-forth with subject-matter experts, delaying critical skills for employees.

Solution

A collaborative approach to creating courses

Subject-matter experts use their in-depth knowledge to create specialized courses fast. L&D teams tackle organizational and strategic training.

Problem

Companies rely on expensive 3rd party vendors

E-learning vendors have a hidden cost. Learners can enroll, but you don't own the content. This means every update, no matter how small, is expensive and time-consuming.

Solution

Updating e-learning doesn't cost you money or time

EGL gives you full ownership of your learning content. Course authors update the material when needed—no vendor lock-in or recurring costs.

Problem

Subject-matter experts try to teach with PowerPoint but fail

PowerPoint is great for presentations, but it wasn't built for e-learning. Learners need interactive and accessible courses, with built-in assessments to ensure understanding.

Solution

Employees share knowledge through effective e-learning

With the right tools, subject-matter experts create engaging courses, boost learning with quizzes, and can even track their learners' progress.

Problem

Local teams suffer from training gaps

Global teams need localized training for success, but this crucial aspect often gets sidelined. This creates skill gaps that leave workers frustrated and demoralized.

Solution

Local teams train in their native languages

Your regional workforce takes control of local training needs. No more requests and waiting. They pick any course, auto-translate to their native language, and tweak content in just a few clicks.
