A Quick Reference Guide, articles, white papers, and self-guided facilitator materials support each module.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-2\">Technical features of MoDU include a catalog that supports multiple languages, tracking capability for reporting and metrics, certificates of completion, and availability within the app for downloading modules for offline viewing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-2\">Learning content is available in the cloud for Life Technologies employees, and the MoDU application is available in the Apple app store.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-2\">MoDU launched May 30; as of the end of August, 22,000-plus modules had been viewed by 48 percent of Life Technologies employees, Vitale says. \u201cWe have delivered more than 5,000 hours of content and continue to get positive feedback from employees on the ease of use and value of the learning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-2\">For a video overview, visit <a
