Like many companies, Chevron has been exploring how to give its employees across the globe quality learning experiences through the integration of technology and new blended designs and delivery methods.  This move from offline to online learning is not an easy journey and is often a bumpy one.  In the end, it is about finding out what learning experiences and resources are most useful to your employees and how they contribute to effective learning that can be applied on the job.  In this session, Mark Veary tells the recent story of how Chevron has tried to navigate this offline to online terrain and how they have found themselves somewhere in the middle of things.
