2011 seems to be really big on events for us.

After a huge success at ASTD TechKnowledge 2011, April will see us participating in CIPD HRD 2011, an HRD conference and exhibition. Scheduled to take place on the 6th and 7th of April 2011 in Olympia, London, this event will see leading learning and organization development suppliers in a range of disciplines including training, L&D, OD, leadership, coaching and more, come together under one roof.

“There is only one thing stronger than all the armies of the world: and that is an idea whose time has come.” – Victor Hugo

At Upside Learning, we believe that this is the right time to leverage mobile learning at the workplace. We worked hard, came up with ideas, criticized them, went back to the drawing board, and came back with better ideas. Upside2Go – our mobile learning solution, is the culmination of our innovation process.

Upside2Go is a novel platform for mobile learning. It is a solution that will not only help your training department reach out to your mobile workforce easily, but would also enable a mobile-based approach to real-time sharing and collaborating, within and outside a team.

Over the past 6 odd years, we have gained much more than experience and knowledge. We have grown quite well, from a 6 member team to 150+ professionals, today; from being just another provider of eLearning solutions to being a global leader in Custom eLearning Development, Learning Management System and Mobile Learning Solutions; and becoming a consistent performer with over 12 awards and recognitions.

It’s the time of the year when the air carries the happy jingle of Santa’s bells and the world celebrates the dawn of a new year! For us at Upside Learning, it marks a time to look back on the days gone by and celebrate the awards we won, heights we scaled and hurdles we overcame. But more than these, it marks a time to celebrate the relationship we share with you – our readers. It is a celebration that goes beyond the professional ties and the business conversations; beyond departments and designations; beyond regions and religions.

As a learning organization, we understand the importance of keeping our ears and minds open to new knowledge and ideas. And with our blog, this had been more possible than ever.

Over the period of 21 months, since the inception of our blog, we have not just shared our knowledge, but have gained much more in return. Through your comments, your suggestions, your answers – we have experienced ‘learning’ and beyond!

Upside has always prided ourselves on being tech and web-savvy. Our capabilities in both spheres reflect in our website. Our revamped website was recently featured in a CSS mania gallery.

Welcome to our new look blog!

If you have been a regular reader of our blog, you would have noticed that we’ve changed our identity!

As a dynamic and innovative organization, we have always kept pace with the changing times, evolving with technology, and customer requirements. Today, we have changed our corporate identity to reflect our ‘you-centric’ approach and our focus on growth.

This year has been truly remarkable for UpsideLMS.

First, there were the 3 awards from Brandon Hall Awards for Excellence in Learning Technology, then it was Brandon Hall, chairman of Brandon Hall Research, naming UpsideLMS amongst the ‘Five Emerging Learning Management Systems (LMSs) to Watch’ in Chief Learning Officer (CLO) Magazine, and now its TrainingIndustry.com featuring Upside Learning in its inaugural ‘Top 20 Learning Portal Companies List’. We are on a roll and how!

John Hegel lll and John Seely Brown have written an article titled ‘Six Fundamental Shifts in the Way We Work’ on HBR blog. The article summarizes the ideas from their new book – The Power of Pull.

We’re very excited to announce the availability of Upside Blog iPhone App. This App is designed to make it easy and more convenient for iPhone users to read and interact with posts on this blog.
