Launching this July, ALTO is the new social learning portal from Redtray Solutions.
Calibrated to fuse formal and informal learning environments into one collaborative portal for the workplace, ALTO is the first Redtray Solutions release to leverage the community-based product development process launched by the company earlier this year.
Established in January, Redtray Solutions’ collaborative research and development (R&D) process uses live customer sessions, forums, feedback loops and extensive online research to collate the thoughts, opinions, frustrations and expectations of hundreds of L&D decision makers from Europe’s largest enterprises. Fresh data sourced from the 500+ community is fed directly into the company’s development cycle to inform product strategy and ensure new features and enhancements are prioritised according to real-time industry requirements.
“We started 2012 with a promise to create the industry’s most inclusive R&D community and the new features in ALTO are the first to benefit from that initiative” says Redtray Solutions MD Vicky Jones. “When we asked L&D professionals across all our forums to outline their dream LMS earlier this year, social learning, virtual classrooms, and reporting and compliance were the three areas routinely cited as priority weak spots that corporate L&D departments really wanted vendors to address. The new ALTO responds to that feedback. We’ve prioritised development in these areas today and we’re listening closely as the community debates its priorities for tomorrow.”

The first community driven enhancements for ALTO are due for release on 16th July. Join us for special launch previews, book a personal demo, order the ALTO brochure or see what ALTO can do for you by being one of the first to participate in our new community FAQs.

This is something I’ve been thinnikg about a lot lately. It’s valid question because it ties into ROI for a training department. Making more content available while reducing traditional courses will likely mean declining enrollment in courses. People are still learning, but it looks like your training is less valuable. The metrics for a collection of resources are very different from the metrics we track for LMS based training, although organizationally the impact of the resources may be much greater.I think sites like Digg or Del.icio.us point the way to organizing and tracking collections of resources. I haven’t seen any training/learning tools to do this, but they will come.
Very interesting ifiographnc. I am a product of an online graduate school. I started my MBA work online in 2001 when there were very few schools doing it. My reason for selecting that avenue of education was because I traveled so much and didn’t have the time to sit in a classroom. I think that reason still drives a lot of people. Maybe not the travel, but the desire to become educated, obtain the knowledge and in some cases a degree without having to tie themselves to a classroom. Thanks for sharing.
