Win 2 tickets to the OpenSesame User Conference or $500 toward the professional development program of your choice by sharing how your organization is continuing employee training efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.
At OpenSesame, we’ve always believed that elearning presents the best option for organizations to scalably and effectively train their workforces.
But the staggering impact of the coronavirus on corporate training — McKinsey estimates 50% of in-person programs in North America (and nearly 100% of programs in Asia and Europe) scheduled for the first half of 2020 have been postponed or canceled — has made it clear that every organization needs to incorporate digital learning into their training strategy.
We understand that rapidly moving to a completely online training environment while working remotely during a pandemic might be overwhelming.
To help companies now facing substantial gaps in their L&D programs adapt or replace planned in-person training with digital learning, we invite you to share how you are delivering effective employee training virtually during this crisis through our #LearnInPlace video contest!
How to participate:
1. Create a short video (1 to 2 minutes) explaining how your organization is continuing its training efforts virtually during the coronavirus pandemic. No need to worry about making it look like a professional movie — feel free to just use your smartphone or computer webcam!
Consider these questions when making your video:
-
-
- How did your organization deliver employee training before COVID-19?
- How has your organization had to adapt its training efforts in response to this crisis?
- What tools or programs does your company use to deliver learning content virtually?
- What have you personally learned as a result of your efforts to transition your organization to a completely online training environment?
-
2. Post your video to social media by 15 May, making sure to tag OpenSesame and include the hashtag #LearnInPlace.
