Keeping up with technology can feel like a full-time job\u2014but since our jobs rely on technology, it\u2019s crucial. This is especially true for larger companies, where you might find as soon as you\u2019ve trained all your users on the latest product release, you have to start all over with a whole new round of updates.<\/p>\n
Despite this fact (or maybe because of it?), in recent years we\u2019ve seen a growing corporate shift away from \u201ctraining\u201d culture and towards \u201clearning\u201d culture. While training and learning might sound like the same thing, they\u2019re not\u2026quite. So what\u2019s the difference, and which should you focus on? To find out, we turn to AU expert Rebecca Arsham.<\/p>\n
As Corporate CADD Training Manager at WSP-Parsons Brinckerhoff<\/a>, Arsham is responsible for keeping 10,000 software users around the world up to date. So yeah, she knows what she\u2019s talking about. Arsham brought that expertise with her to Autodesk University 2015 in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=ZEp8W7Dz_OA<\/p>\n Head over to AU online and find out what Arsham has to say about how to create a successful learning strategy<\/a>, who is responsible<\/a> for implementing such a strategy, and how community can promote learning<\/a>.<\/p>\n The design and engineering industry has a history of mentorship\u2014from apprenticeships to user groups, we learn from each other. According to Arsham, user groups are natural peer-to-peer communities. \u201cWhen you empower those user groups,\u201d she says, \u201cmagic happens.\u201d<\/p>\n That\u2019s where AU slots right into your successful learning strategy\u2014our rich archive of resources can work for training and<\/em> for learning. By tapping into AU\u2019s expertise, you can make that magic happen, anytime. Because learning isn\u2019t something we did. It\u2019s something we\u2019re doing\u2014all the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Keeping up with technology can feel like a full-time job\u2014but since our jobs rely on technology, it\u2019s crucial.
