How do you integrate technology into your learning culture?

Integrating technology into the training culture is not optional, however in order not to get the decision wrong, the type of audience, the complexity of the training, the expected output among other things are the key consideration for the type of technology platform to be used. From my experience, bite sized teachings can be delivered through handy tech tools such as screen recording and shared wide among the target audience. ultimately the objective is for improved skills to occur.

I totally agree. There are a variety of tools available to provide training. Though not all of these tools are suited for all types of training. So, it is important to tailor the training tools and training material to meet your training requirements. Additionally, it is important to maintain your training material, etc., over time. To ensure the relevance, etc., of the training material. So, you also need to consider how you will control access, store, manage and maintain your training material. Particularly, if you are using a combination of training tools.

Always relevant, to ensure the training material is fit for purpose. That is it provides the training at a level the trainees needs and answers the trainee's questions, etc. As a result, at least during the initial training sessions, revisions to the available training material may be required/ expected.

True, internal experienced/ information exchange should be supported and encouraged. As this experience will have gained (usually) within the organisation and so contain organisation specific considerations, etc., that external training may not provide. It s important to remember that knowledge is power, but only if that knowledge is put to use. Holding onto knowledge does not help anyone.

In a lot of cases it is important to not rely on 3rd party internet training videos. This is because they are unlikely to take into account your organisational considerations. Such internet based training should be used as an initial reference/ guide, rather than a definitive way to do things. Where possible 'hands on' exposure is a highly effective way to train. This is why I recommend that operations and support teams, be given the change, if possible, to access and familiarise themselves with new IT products during the pre-deployment/ testing, etc., phase of delivery. This access provides two benefits: - Enabling the relevant staff to gain familiarity with a product, etc. - Enable them to identify possible additional considerations.
