Training Industry Magazine - January/February 2021 - 46
After 20 years in mainstream corporate
education, eLearning has long earned
the credit it deserves as a legitimate
and necessary approach to training
and developing employees. However,
its effectiveness is still up for debate.
The migration to virtual workspaces
during the 2020 pandemic forced
many organizations to rapidly embrace
electronic methods for conducting
business. From the use of webconferencing services, apps and
screenshare, organizations scrambled
to keep business moving quickly
and as smoothly as possible while
mastering a new modality. Spring
of 2020 saw many organizations
upgrading their infrastructures to take
on the heightened burden to their
systems: increasing VPN bandwidth,
revamping
firewalls,
updating
software, revising work-from-home
polices and suppling remote working
tools. For organizations like Google,
Microsoft and Airbnb, the temporary
shift has become permanent.

Training and development professionals
have seen an increase in demand for
virtual training but a decrease in time
to design it. Suddenly, everyone needs
scalable solutions for improving and
building employee skills outside of the
walls of a classroom or office. While most
organizations may have had eLearning
platforms in place prior to the pandemic,
they may not have resources committed
to evaluating and ensuring that these
platforms provide meaningful learning
experiences for their employees.
On-the-job training frequently upstaged
the online learning environment until it
was no longer an option. The acceptance
and widespread implementation of
eLearning is exciting, but it can spell
trouble if accessibility to training
usurps the impact of training. Learning
professionals have a duty to keep their
eyes on the effectiveness of their learning
programs. There are four simple do's and
don'ts for creating and implementing
meaningful eLearning.
Do Ensure Content Is
Relevant and Timely
Learning for the sake of checking a box or
meeting an obligatory training requirement
is meaningless, and most learners will treat
it as such. Compliance training is a great
example of obligatory training required by
government regulations or policies. Most
employees would agree that the content
is important and necessary for their jobs,
but they may also find it frustrating and
time-consuming.
Recently the training industry has been
infiltrated with content providers using
modern approaches to instructional design
to offer more engaging and meaningful
compliance courses. Microlearning has
also been embraced as an option for
offering content in small, on-demand
chunks for employees to access at their
convenience. Open access to content
gives learners the opportunity to prioritize
content that is most meaningful to them.
