October 26, 2011 // Franchising.com // Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC announced today that David Birnbaum, vice president of learning for Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, has been awarded a Bronze "Learning in Practice" Award by Chief Learning Officer magazine in the category of Innovation, for the trend-setting Coldwell Banker University (CBU) social learning and video portals.

The CBU manager and sales associate portals are both included within the Coldwell Banker University learning platform and have redefined the Coldwell Banker brand’s online learning experience. Using desktops, laptops, iPads and smart phones, managers and associates launch streaming videos from the cloud, engage with mentors, and collaborate with each other to share best practices in business development and productivity in an accelerated fashion.

"The real estate industry, as with any industry, requires an evolution in learning platforms to reflect changes in technology and business models while accounting for generational shifts," said Budge Huskey, president and chief operating officer for Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. "David's award is a testament to what he and his team have done to provide outstanding course work and an unparalleled distribution system that allows Coldwell Banker sales professionals the opportunity to successfully maintain and grow their businesses."

The Chief Learning Office awards recognize industry leaders who have demonstrated excellence in the design and delivery of employee development programs. The Innovation award is specifically for learning executives who have successfully applied emerging technologies and/or methodologies to create a stimulating and engaging combination of content and modalities.

The awards were presented at a special ceremony during the Fall 2011 Chief Learning Officer Magazine Symposium held in Dana Point, Calif. Birnbaum and the other award winners will be featured in a special supplement in the December issue of Chief Learning Officer magazine.
