One way of reducing this risk is to provide lots of advice within the learning platform – perhaps even employ a chatbot. The reason we might do this is to provide additional motivation to the learner to make progress through the content. Do they know what’s really important?

Input: Providing the formal element which hopefully will inspire the learner and act as a catalyst for changes in behaviour and on-going skills development. Application: Providing opportunities for the learner to test out new ideas and skills in the work environment. Ideas are key principles which underpin your decision making.

So far so good, but now comes the difficult bit - providing opportunities for practice. With a little care, you can dream up activities which provide the right level of authentic practice to meet the trainee's need. The problem comes with providing feedback. Which is why trainees need to do this for themselves.

If you were to ask a sample of e-learners in your organisation to describe their experience of e-learning in one word, there's a fair chance the most common response would start with a 'b'.

They see evidence of increased involvement of L&D in providing or curating content that is 'good enough' to do the job, although rather less progress with user-generated content.
