Modern workplace learning professionals wear many hats. Gone are the days of specialization. Our organizations expect us to design, deliver, implement, and manage entire training programs. Learners see us as facilitators, producers, learning guides, subject matter experts (SMEs), and sometimes technical support. I’ve advocated for a modern title that encompasses all of our responsibilities – the Learning Experience Architect.

By Michael Allen , Chairman & CEO, Allen Interactions. eLearning can’t do everything. It can’t detect frustration by observing facial expressions and body language (yet). It doesn’t know if a learner is just throwing out any answer to see what feedback happens or if a learner is sincerely thinking the answer is correct. Today, elearning is pretty much blind to many of the cues a personal mentor or instructor would note and use to guide a learner.

For business training purposes, professionally dressed characters can go a long way to set a mood and an ambiance for your courses. It also pays to know your demographics. If your company tends to attract a certain type of person, or there are other types of people you want more of, you should be sure to represent that in training materials, as it sets an unconscious precedent.

Corporate leaders understand that employee turnover is expensive. When organizations invest in employees, they are investing in much more than just their salaries. In the 2016 Huffington Post article “ High Turnover Costs Way More Than You Think “ , the cost to an organization of losing one millennial was estimated to be up to $25,000. However, that same organization will have to spend additional money to interview, hire and train an employee to replace the one that left.

Personalization is one of the hottest topics in corporate training. But learning delivery remains largely top-down, with little thought to a learner’s personal style nor alignment to their individual objectives. Levels of interactivity in learning content are generally not as high as they should be for effective learning, even though modern browsers and new web and mobile technologies offer more potential to create interactive experiences than ever before.

Yet, the onus is on you to create swashbuckling courses out of such dreary content.

The Social Learning Theory (SLT) was theorized and created by Albert Bandura. It is an influential learning theory that envelopes the fundamental concepts of learning. Bandura has explained the viability of classical and operant conditioning while adding two highly critical concepts; the idea of mediating processes that take form via stimuli and responses; behavior is achieved from the learning environment via the observational principles of learning.

Mentoring administrators are part coach, part facilitator, part support network and part matchmaker. Learning leaders must consider these various aspects and take part in the mentoring program in multiple ways to make the programs work.
