Cutting-edge methods like custom software simulations and eLearning are more powerful ways to teach the hard skills that all employees need in the workplace in the overwhelming digital transformation. Software simulations is the best way for employees to learn coroporate software.

For those of you that haven't heard, Articulate has came up with a new eLearning authoring tool called Storyline. In every consulting gig that I have been apart of, the client always (yes, always) wants Adobe Captivate as part of their online learning strategy. Let me explain. So the end result?

Offer hands-on training sessions : And by this, we don’t mean actual hands-on the real software training. We mean realistic practice including realistic software simulations of the system and real scenarios for how they’ll use the tools in their work. With training, nothing is important if everything is important.

With some lively writing for eLearning and weaving some scenarios into training, scenario-based learning can work wonders. Instead of sitting through hours of lectures or completing monotonous eLearning modules, employees can partake in realistic scenarios where they can apply their knowledge and skills in a hands-on manner.

In other words, the training can be highly tailored to only include what employees will use rather than everything about the software. Not only that but with quality custom software simulations online training can be more effective. If you train on everything then you might as well train on nothing.

And the best type of training for a software launch? That would probably be eLearning which is typically what we prefer in most (but not all!) Real Practice Through the use of interactive tutorials, real-life examples, and even software simulations training can facilitate better learning and engagement. Doing is learning.

Not only that but good training with custom eLearning can minimize the time it takes to learn new skills as well as offer a level of realistic practice that doesn’t exist in instructor-led training, one reason we don’t create instructor-led training for technical topics.

In an online course, the task is usually some sort of simulated decision-making. That can be something like a role-play activity or even software simulation where the user inputs data. At this point, the learner should do the task that they’ve been exposed to and seen in action. Practice the task.

So, outside of onboarding new employees, provide current employees with sufficient training for company software. That could be a really good realistic software simulation or if simple software it could just be a job aid or short video. It’s a lot to take in and often the most difficult part of starting a new job.

It can be engaging and entertaining with a bit of good writing for eLearning or training videos. Similarly, an employee might understand the basics of customer relationship management (CRM) software, but unless they learn how to use the software to achieve customer success, the training won’t make much of an impact.

It’s also what rapid development tools have done for some eLearning. It’s easy to think corporate technical training involves grabbing a tool like Stepsy or iorad and making many software tutorials. Software tutorial videos aren’t ideal for learning company software.

How you write the content for both eLearning and training videos makes all the difference in how engaging and relevant the content is. We created an eLearning course on office ergonomics that you could otherwise say is an inherently boring topic. It’s not true, though. So, the training must be dry and boring, right?

But we’re not here to talk about content overload in eLearning or any other type of training. If you’re building an eLearning course , keep the navigation consistent and boring. Have employees perform the steps themselves in software rather than showing them passively. Boring is good when it comes to training.
