Hello SAP User Experience community:
Learning today is a dynamic activity between those of us who know what we need to learn and those of us who do not know what we need to learn and hence require a little bit of guidance. Learning techniques are constantly evolving in response to changes and challenges in the market and a learner’s own priorities and behaviors of learning are also shifting. As individuals seek to learn more quickly in order to deliver high-value solutions to their customers, SAP Education’s responsibility is to ensure that the same individual has access to an environment of learning that is dynamic, exploratory, experiential, and whose content is continually evolving as SAP solutions evolve themselves - all in a timely fashion. The new SAP User Experience Learning Room was created with this in mind, so as to address the needs of today’s learner, to provide a platform where individuals can learn from experts as well as from each other while consuming myriads of technical content to help them through their professional journey.
The SAP User Experience learning room is a learning environment where IT professionals and developers invested in SAP’s User Experience design principles, tools, and solutions can come together to consume, discuss and add experiential value to all the content that SAP Education has to offer. The learning room provides subscribers of the SAP Learning Hub a collaborative environment for rapid knowledge acquisition about SAP's User Experience (UX) strategy, design thinking, its suite of UX solutions and frameworks, third-part tools and standards, and best practices. You will have access to an immense amount of content and to experienced subject-matter experts who serve as Room Leads focused on helping you with SAP solutions such as SAP Fiori, SAP Screen Personas, SAPUI5, SAP Gateway. The learning room is an organic place that includes role-and solution-based learning paths such as SAPUI5 developers, SAP Fiori administrators, developers, technology consultants, and architects, etc. In the learning room, everyone can come together to learn and experience the powerful technologies that SAP has to offer in the realm of User Experience with a single SAP Learning Hub subscription.
This room will incorporate new content as new releases of courses and/or modular eLearning content become available in order to support future solution releases. The learning room also provides a forum in which the Learning Room Leads and participants can contribute content by way of their own valuable information, experience, collaboration efforts and interactive exchanges. Some of the dynamic and interactive activities you will find in the SAP User Experience learning include:
- Content consumption at your own pace
- Continuous growth of new content in multiple formats: e.g. flipbooks, simulations, expert videos, etc.
- Access to high-quality solution simulations and demonstrations created with SAP’s own Workforce Performance Builder (WPB)
- Ability to upload and share your own content in PDF, MS Word, MS PPT and even WPB format
- Access to Scheduled Live Info Sessions by the room’s lead experts and guest speakers - all Info Session events will be recorded, archived and accessible to room members for later use
