Developing e-learning has traditionally been a slow and costly process, burdened with an inability to keep learning content up to date. To solve this problem, Kasper Spiro developed the Employee-generated Learning (EGL) approach: a system that shifts learning content creation from a 'top-down' approach to a 'bottom-up' one.
With EGL, subject matter experts are the ones who create (and maintain) learning content— not L&D teams. This approach allows organizations to compile all their employees' insights, knowledge, and experiences into a single, expansive repository: a corporate brain.
Employee-generated Learning is based on Kasper's and Videhi's decade-long research and practical experience. The book is not just theory but a practical guide filled with step-by-step explanations, real-world examples, and lessons learned. It is written for learning professionals, business leaders, and anyone seeking to harness their workforce's knowledge to upskill their employees.
