Simply put, in most cases failed EHRs suffer from the same symptoms that are seen in countless other IT implementations: insufficient staff buy-in, insufficient training, and an ROI that is often slow to make itself apparent. Up until now the effects of these failed implementations have amounted to little more than lost opportunities.

Serious games are becoming a go-to training solution in the L&D industry because they hold the attention of the player, encourage and support engagement, and have higher levels of learner retention than basic training modules. There are a few things that must be included in serious games to make them effective.

As L&D professionals, most of us are familiar with microlearning, which has become a common form of eLearning that focuses on creating short, digestible learning modules that engage learners. In recent years, microlearning has expanded beyond just one singular learning style, and has begun to encompass many different L&D strategies.

As L&D professionals, we want our training to stick. Yet, achieving that ‘stickiness’ module after module, and program after program, can be challenging. Storytelling in L&D. We know it’s critical to make learning content relatable and memorable.

In my opinion, giving a learner a self-study eLearning program as their only form of training or support is not much different than handing them a manual to read with some exercises. When we are assigned a required task, like completing a boring eLearning module, often the only motivation is to finish so we can get on with our real work.

As a learning strategy or approach, microlearning delivers short (10 minutes or less), focused training and performance support. Forward-thinking companies are redesigning their employee training approaches to include just these types of agile, microlearning opportunities. Interactive microlearning modules. Not a full lunch.

It has been around for all of my 15+ years as an instructional designer and training developer, and goes back much further than that. What is new, however, is the ratio of on-demand solutions to more traditional training offerings. In my opinion, it’s not that providing on-demand learning and performance solutions is a new idea.

Some companies will use “Level 2: Learning” to measure whether the learners have mastered the training course content. The focus is on the training event itself and the follow-up to that event. Company executives are typically interested in the bottom line, not how well their employees apply the learning from a training class.

Of course, the person “next to you” might just as often be consulted via email or other online tool, but it doesn’t change this fact: the amount of workplace learning done in formal training sessions is a tiny fraction of of the learning that takes place one-on-one, between coworkers. That’s why this post from Frank Noschese is so great.
