Most workplace managers have had to deal with the agonizing experience of getting employees to commit to regular sessions of continuing education and training. The fact is that standing in front of a group of people with a whiteboard or PowerPoint presentation and lecturing them about what they're doing wrong is never particularly exciting for anyone to sit through. But the advent of the Apple iPad 4 and iPad mini has made it possible to engage employees in a way that makes training more interesting.

Because tablet screens provide an excellent interface for viewing videos and listening to podcasts, employers looking to provide personal enrichment and professional training to their workers might consider migrating to these platforms. There are a host of podcast software solutions available. Even Skype and Google+ can be used to create video casts that can be distributed to employees' devices. This way, they can view training sessions when it's convenient, and they can do so using the fun, intuitive iOS touch controls, which have a way of making even the most mundane activity more interesting.

Organizations are adopting these devices for training in innovative ways. Yale Medical School now delivers course materials entirely in a digital format accessible on iPads, rather than handing out stacks of paper and textbooks. Even the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League distribute the team's playbook in tablet form rather than as a paper notebook.

PortableOne can supply your business or institution with Apple tablets that will get your employees excited about training, improving productivity and making the workplace a happier place to be.
