I have worked in a learning environment for just over 10 years – not a very long time when you think about the grand scheme of things. I reflected on how that one phone call changed our lives forever, and how much we take the telephone for granted today.

Including fun activities such as these to incent someone in the learning goes a long way, and it simulates environments closer to the “real world.” All of these activities provide feedback and scoring, which in turn motivates learners to do well. Think about how much more effective these activities would be in preparing someone for a job.

Can we use eLearning to teach some of these soft skills that are required by leadership in a corporate environment? Typically, this “soft skill” type of training is delivered by instructor led training (ILT). But what about eLearning? I would argue that we can, provided the eLearning has some elements to make it a successful interaction.
