1 Identify the learning styles of your employees

Before you design and deliver your training, you need to know who your audience is and how they learn best. There are various models and tools that can help you assess the learning styles of your employees, such as the VARK questionnaire, the Kolb learning style inventory, or the Honey and Mumford learning styles questionnaire. These tools can help you identify whether your employees are visual, auditory, reading/writing, kinesthetic, or a combination of these learners. You can also use online surveys, interviews, or observations to gather feedback and insights from your employees about their preferred learning methods and formats.

Ask! You won't know until you build relationships, survey and simply ask. Ask them directly or ask their leaders, observe them in action.

2 Choose the appropriate technology tools and platforms

Once you have a clear idea of the learning styles of your employees, you can select the technology tools and platforms that best suit them. For example, if you have a lot of visual learners, you can use video, graphics, diagrams, or animations to illustrate your training content. If you have a lot of auditory learners, you can use podcasts, audio recordings, or voice chats to deliver your training messages. If you have a lot of reading/writing learners, you can use e-books, blogs, articles, or quizzes to provide your training materials. If you have a lot of kinesthetic learners, you can use interactive games, simulations, or virtual reality to create immersive and hands-on learning experiences.

3 Mix and match different technology formats and media

While it is important to tailor your training to the dominant learning styles of your employees, it is also advisable to mix and match different technology formats and media to appeal to all types of learners and enhance their learning outcomes. For example, you can combine video with text, audio with graphics, or games with quizzes to create more engaging and varied training content. You can also use different media to reinforce the same learning objectives and concepts, such as using a video to introduce a topic, a text to explain it in detail, and a quiz to test the understanding.

Do not make things overly complicated. Humans aren't complicated beings and sometimes less is more. Keep it clean, purposeful and bite size. The more you throw at them, the less they remember. It is also important to keep it fresh and shift gears every 15-30 minutes.

4 Provide flexibility and personalization

Technology can also help you provide more flexibility and personalization for your employees during training. You can use online learning platforms or learning management systems (LMS) to deliver your training content in a self-paced and accessible way. You can also use adaptive learning technologies or artificial intelligence (AI) to customize your training content and feedback based on the individual needs and progress of your employees. You can also use technology to offer different learning paths or options for your employees to choose from, such as online courses, webinars, coaching sessions, or peer-to-peer learning.

5 Encourage collaboration and communication

Another way to use technology to support different learning styles in training is to encourage collaboration and communication among your employees. You can use online tools such as forums, chats, wikis, or social media to facilitate discussion, sharing, and feedback among your employees. You can also use online tools such as web conferencing, screen sharing, or whiteboards to enable live interaction, demonstration, and brainstorming among your employees. You can also use online tools such as polls, surveys, or gamification to motivate and reward your employees for their participation and contribution.

6 Evaluate and improve your training

Finally, you can use technology to evaluate and improve your training based on the feedback and data from your employees. You can use online tools such as analytics, dashboards, or reports to measure the effectiveness and impact of your training on your employees' learning outcomes, performance, and satisfaction. You can also use online tools such as surveys, testimonials, or ratings to collect the opinions and suggestions of your employees on how to improve your training. You can then use this information to adjust and optimize your training content, methods, and tools to better suit the different learning styles of your employees.

In my opinion people tend to complicate things by trying to address all "learning styles". They further complicate things by labeling the learners as Millennial, Gen-z, Gen-x, etc. People belonging to all generations are in all types of jobs and can have different learning styles. Focus on what it takes to acquire a specific knowledge or develop a new skill and then develop the solution. Technology may or may not have a place in your solution. You have to get behind the wheel if you have to learn to drive a car! There is no escaping that. Start with the need and not with the tool. As they say "If all you have is a hammer then everything will look like a nail"!
