Training Industry Magazine - Fall 2016 - 27


Utilize multimedia tools to create a dynamic
learning environment, if you have the
budget. Live action videos, animations,

and online simulations and interactives
are a great way to spruce up your
content. However, don't fall prey to
the idea that technology can save a
poorly designed course. Always refer
to your original learning plan to ensure
that your activities are aligned with
the desired course outcomes.
A NOTE ON E-LEARNING CONTENT

E-learning has been heralded as a
method to cut costs while delivering a
consistent user experience. Through the
use of learning management systems,
webinars, enterprise social networks
and video conferencing, organizations
have been able to maximize their
intellectual property. Many institutions
have established policies stating
that all training materials previously

FOR LEARNING
ACTIVITIES.

controlled by learning and development
departments must now be housed in a
centralized content management system.
While creating a central repository
can improve accessibility across the
company, this approach does not
necessarily guarantee that employees
will use the content to which they now
have access. More than ever before, the
learning and development department
has an important role to play in
facilitating the learning process.

BECOMING THE GO-TO RESOURCE

Once you have created your ideal
learning environment, consider how to
establish it as a vital, go-to resource for
your organization.

Develop a clear value proposition for each
learning activity. Much time is spent on

ensuring that the organization obtains
a return on investment for learning
initiatives. But what about the return on
investment for the learners? Why should
they give up valuable time to participate
in a learning activity? Consider the
importance of quality versus quantity
when deciding which activities to include.
Clearly communicate their value to the
learners, and establish next steps that will
help them accomplish their goals.

Discuss with managers the employee
development needs they see in their
department. Help them understand

the available resources so they can
recommend appropriate courses to
their direct reports. Follow up to assess
whether the learning activity generated
the expected output and where it needs
further refinement.
