The accelerated shift to remote working brought on by the global pandemic has impacted all areas of business, and workplace learning and development is no exception. The need to skill, upskill and reskill employees did not stop because we were working from home; in fact, it is as important as ever to ensure employees receive training and skills development. L&D managers now face new challenges in fast-tracking digital transformation to deliver effective and engaging learning and training experiences to employees while we are physically distanced.
Innovative e-learning technology can help us deliver impactful learning and training experiences for employees, while saving valuable resources. The effectiveness of these efforts comes down to finding the right technology solutions and leveraging their capabilities.
“When investing in e-learning tools, L&D managers should consider technology providers that deliver on ‘the e-learning triangle’ for creating content, managing and administrating the learning process, and delivering interactive learning experiences,” explains Jeremy Matthews, CEO of Dax Data. This typically includes a virtual classroom platform, content creation tool and a learning management system (LMS). Matthews believes that a holistic solution that seamlessly and effortlessly enables design, delivery and tracking of an online curriculum enables business to harness the full potential of e-learning to deliver ROI.
A recent report, The VILT Instructor’s Handbook, provides a step-by-step guide to evaluating and successfully implementing e-learning technology to deliver top-notch virtual training programmes. The guide cover keys areas including:
- Transition from physical to virtual;
- Create amazing virtual experiences;
- Virtual classroom design;
- Deciding on virtual training tools;
- Achieving buy-in; and
- Doing more with less.
