Virtual Learning Design & Experiences - COVID-19 blog | Deloitte Australia has been saved
The COVID-19 outbreak is not only changing the way we work, it’s also shaping the way we experience learning. How do you engage with your learners when the concept of “workspace” is evolving so rapidly?
The learning industry is no stranger to disruption; over the years, traditional ways of learning have evolved from “classroom” training to PC-based modules to innovative digital & blended learning experiences. The rise of Learning Experience Platforms, for example, is a telling sign that the modern learner is merging their ways of learning with individual behaviors, habits and preferences. More than ever before, workers are rapidly changing the way they engage with learning in the workplace. The biggest evolution we’re seeing is the growth of the virtual classroom – the more we are being asked to isolate, the more we need to congregate. It’s basic human nature.
When it comes to training, virtual facilitation is not really all that “new” – learning designers and practitioners have long since explored remote training opportunities. By leveraging the best of breed technology and fit-for-virtual learning design, it is possible to successfully deliver high-impact human learning experiences. You don’t need to be in the same room as your learners to keep them engaged, help them develop new skills and remain productive.
The key to delivering a truly engaging impactful learning experience is to ensure you design for the virtual environment in the ultimate (and optimal) way. Luckily, organisations today have access to host of technology tools that can support digital instructor-led learning. Everything from video web-conferencing to interactive white-boarding to anonymous voting can be facilitated online.
While remote learning is partly about leveraging the right facilitation tools, the gamechanger is to ensure that the design and delivery of your virtual experiences is tailored to suit a remote world.
