Secrets To Engage Learners In The Remote Workplace
Connecting with distant learners and keeping them engaged throughout the learning journey is a challenge for L&D professionals. This newfound learning environment denotes that trainers need to work “differently” to hold the learners’ engagement. However, virtual learning involves a different training paradigm where learners are fully immersed in the learning, compared to other forms of training. Therefore, providing immersive virtual learning experiences to remote learners is even more imperative now.
And, given that this non-traditional learning environment requires an equally “non-traditional” training approach, L&D teams must look at offering more immersive virtual learning experiences.
Tap Into The Power Of Immersion
Immersive learning approaches not only help you engage your remote learners but they also create learning experiences that are sticky and ensure that higher-level goals like the application of learning or change in thinking or behavior are met.
While there are various options to deliver immersive learning experiences, in this eBook, I show you how 4 techniques: gamification, microlearning, video-based learning, and scenario-based learning can be used.
