WHAT HOOKS LEARNERS TO ELEARNING?
What hooks learners to eLearning?
Well, if we had a stone-clad answer for this question, then we would have no worries, and organizations would be producing eLearning content in a robotic, assembly-line fashion. One of the key topics of discussion in eLearning-themed events is on ‘Engaging Learners’ and experts continue to speak on the topic with their ideas and findings. In this blog post, we attempt to list down primary points that go into making an ideal eLearning solution that hooks learners and holds their interest. Remember, nothing remains frozen as a standard. As technologies evolve and a new generation of learners enters the workforce, L&D experts face fresh challenges in designing effective eLearning.
Setting Expectations Clearly
Let your learners know what they are going to learn before the program commences. It is important for the expectations to be set clearly. Nothing baffles the learner more than a surprise halfway through the eLearning program. Mapping learning outcomes to the goals that are listed at the beginning of the program, ensures a smooth and worry-free learning experience.
Designing Learning Experiences
In an earlier blog post, we spoke about how the term ‘Learning Experience Platform’ is becoming the new buzzword in eLearning and L&D. Companies specializing in designing learning content, now don’t just battle with each other to win projects; but have to contend with the vast amount of learning content available online for free, and course aggregators like Coursera and Udemy. Penny-pinching finance teams might rather force their L&D teams to white-label and sign-up for such courses rather than hiring a dedicated team to build and deploy eLearning from scratch.
