How can you use digital tools for employee training?

Es importante tener claro que la herramienta no es el fin, no solo por tener una gran herramienta tendrás buenos resultados. Debes identificar cuál es herramienta que mejor se ajusta a la metodología que quieres usar y a los objetivos que quieres conseguir con tus estudiantes. Lo ideal es que la herramienta genere algún vínculo con el estudiante y que esté graduada a su nivel de conocimiento digital.

Know your Audience. Not only about the geographic, backgrounds, interests, and needs. You need to know how your audience learns and the effective way to get engaged and build rapport with them. So don't only focus on the technical side but also choose what fits your audiences' preference.

Regardless of the modality of delivery, I personally feel that using this statement "What does success look like to the stakeholder(s)" will help guide curriculum developers shortlist the right tools and content to engage the learners and achieve the desired outcome.

Digital training becomes even more effective when it's delivered at the right moment - this might mean making the content accessible in an easy way at the right time. For example, delivering quick tips to the employees when they are using a digital tool.

Providing a comfortable and easy learning environment is key to fostering interaction and new ideas. One thing I have been trying recently is to use mini projects/tasks to replace exercise and role play. Also, letting your class choose how and where to learn is equally important to relevant content!

Debemos partir de la base de que no todos aprendemos de la misma manera y estudiar no es la primera prioridad de los trabajadores que tienen que cumplir con sus objetivos laborales, familiares y personales. Claro que estudiar significa un sacrificio, pero para disminuir la deserción y mejorar la. Efectividad debemos ser flexibles tanto en metodologías como en presencia.

Flexibility is also key when creating accessible content. Learners have different learning styles, so addressing their needs is key to ensuring that training reaches everyone effectively.

Look at the most popular games today and you'll get a lot more ideas on how to engage your learners too. While textual, video and simple quiz based options have been around forever, it is practically ineffective today because we've moved away from reading books, to having interactive experiences for learning. Experiment based on the audience, but build as per modern trends. Examples: Videos under 30s, more game based elements, try mythology from various cultures in your analogies, judicious usage of animation, include some 3D environments if you can and encapsulate it all in a strong story.

- Make the content relatable to your audience. - Provide the platform, not controlling how they perform - Allowing the audience to explore the topic by themselves and provide the tool/space they may need. (which often results in longer cycle).

La evaluación es un proceso fundamental en cualquier innovación pedagógica. Dentro de la lógica de innovar esta presente el riesgo, ir más allá, y en muchos casos debemos detenernos a ver si lo que estamos haciendo está teniendo el impacto que buscamos. Es clave primero establecer objetivos claros (kpi, okr o rubricas) y luego ir evaluando en el proceso si nos vamos acercando y ubicando con ese primer diagnóstico. Evaluación continua!

Digital tools can be instrumental in employee training by offering diverse and effective learning experiences. This can be accomplished ty utilizing online learning platforms, webinars, and video tutorials for flexible access to training materials; implementing interactive e-learning modules, simulations, and virtual reality to enhance engagement and skill application; employing learning management systems (LMS) to organize, track progress, and assess employee performance. Additionally, leverage communication tools for real-time feedback, fostering a collaborative learning environment. Integrating these digital tools can make training more accessible, engaging, and adaptable to individual learning needs.

Consider embedding Social Learning using tools such as Yammer to engage with the learners, create learning communities, and drive learning beyond the digital content.
