Q: More generally, how do you see the casual learning industry developing, and where do you place yourself in the industry?

A: Corporate training is broken and mLevel is leading a paradigm shift to change it from being boring, expensive and ineffective into something that is engaging for employees, effective for trainers and can drive real results and reduce skill gaps for the business.

The casual learning industry is modernizing and innovating the way that we currently learn within corporate enterprises. mLevel’s game-based learning activities are aligned with proven learning methodologies such as Bloom’s Taxonomy and science-based methods such as short-burst, bite-sized training sessions. And our most recent innovation takes learning a step further by using a sophisticated, data-driven – and in some cases nonlinear – approach to instruction creating a personalized learning experience that can anticipate and dynamically adjust to a learner’s interactions based on their demonstrated level of content mastery.

The key to success in the market is that mLevel’s back-end software bears all of the heavy lifting, while the learning instructor uses a code-free, web-based tool to quickly and easily create the content and push it out to users in real-time. In this regard, mLevel is clearly positioned as a market leader and innovator in the industry.
