Help people become self-directed learners<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Connie Malamed from theelearningcoach.com<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Headshot<\/a>A real superstar of the online learning community, Connie is a learning experience design consultant. She\u2019s a prolific writer and speaker in the fields of online learning, visual communication, and information design.<\/p>\n

Connie has been helping organizations create meaningful learning experiences for over two decades. She has written two books, Visual Design Solutions and Visual Language for Designers, and is the creator of The eLearning Coach podcast<\/a>. She\u2019s an advocate of a “pull” rather than a \u201cpush\u201d learning model, and enjoys empowering people with the tools they need to become self-directed learners.<\/p>\n

We asked Connie about what organizations can do to make learning in the workplace better, and how to engage their remote workforce. This is her advice:<\/p>\n

When it comes to learning, less is always more<\/em><\/h4>\n

People can only process around 3-4 bits of information at one time. This means fire hose training and information dumps actually detract from learning. When it comes to learning, less is always more. Therefore, focus on what is most important to learn and practice. Provide what is \u201cnice to know\u201d as optional outside resources.<\/em><\/p>\n

Create a learning journey rather than a one-time intervention<\/em><\/h4>\n

<\/a>A second principle is to space out learning. Think of it in terms of a learning journey rather than a one-time intervention. Ensure there is sufficient opportunity for staff to practice and to get feedback. Provide opportunities for learners to discuss challenges and issues and to learn from each other. Promote mentoring opportunities. By focusing on the development of key skills over time and in different ways, you will help people build long-term capabilities.<\/em><\/p>\n

Don’t try to recreate the in-person experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s what Tim\u2019s told us about achieving a smooth transition to remote online training:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Break your content into multiple, shorter sessions and aim for a blended solution<\/em><\/h4>\n

When you’re looking to transition your in-person training for online delivery, there are a few [things] you can do to do it right. First, don’t try to recreate the in-person experience in an online environment. Take the time to re-think your activities and content, and make the necessary changes to take advantage of the online environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Second, break your content into multiple, shorter sessions–no one wants to sit through an eight-hour webinar.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>
\n<\/a>
\nThird and finally, explore alternatives to create a blended solution. Where possible, look for opportunities to create a short video, a job aid, or an <\/span><\/i>interactive eLearning course<\/span><\/i><\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an advice from this talented \u201cBrain Lady\u201d on how to make your online course more engaging:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTalk\u201d to your learning audience as if you\u2019re together<\/i><\/h4>\n

Whether you\u2019re live or recording online content, there are real live people at the\u00a0<\/span><\/i>other end of the connection, and their brains need to work to learn.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Imagine your audience and \u2018talk\u2019 to them as if you\u2019re together. If you don\u2019t know them, create a persona and believe in it. Have a personal conversation and see the world through their eyes. Use \u2018you\u2019 rather than \u2018I\u2019 or \u2018we\u2019 and rich, sensory language to paint a picture.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Encourage guessing before you tell because it improves memory<\/i><\/h4>\n

<\/a>Imagine and address their motivations, provide the big picture before diving into detail. Encourage participation early and regularly and promote contribution and collaboration. Link to what people already know and encourage guessing before you tell because it improves memory. Design in practice, feedback and testing.\u00a0 Create deductive questions so people have to work out the answer. Build in spaced repetition rather than one-off activities.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Ask questions and run online polls<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Brian Washburn from <\/span>trainlikeachampion.blog<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Instructional<\/a>In a poll that Brian recently ran on his blog, he found that 1 in 2 learning professionals is shaky when delivering virtual training. And he made it his mission to change this.

Here\u2019s Brian\u2019s advice for engaging virtual training:<\/span><\/p>\n

You can make your virtual training engaging without being a master at using breakout rooms<\/i><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019d like to make your virtual delivery engaging, you don\u2019t need to be a master at using breakout rooms (though they are pretty cool) or other advanced features. Keep your delivery engaging, yet simple, by remembering:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

1) <\/span><\/i>What people see on the screen matters. <\/i><\/b>Make your visuals engaging\u00a0<\/span><\/i>by avoiding common PowerPoint design mistakes (check out Jesse Desjardin\u2019s Slideshare deck titled: You Suck at PowerPoint).<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

2) <\/span><\/i>You\u2019re not stuck with PowerPoint.<\/i><\/b> You can walk people through\u00a0<\/span><\/i>documents, policies, technical drawings, web sites, spreadsheets or other\u00a0<\/span><\/i>media by sharing your screen.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/a>3)<\/span><\/i> Don\u2019t just talk to people.<\/i><\/b> Involve them by asking questions and allowing people to vote (using polling) or to discuss via voice or the chat feature.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Chunk learning into small pieces\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ashley Chiasson from <\/span>ashleychiasson.com<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Instructional<\/a>Ashley loves working in L&D because she can wear many different hats. On Monday, she might be developing a university graduate course, while on Thursday she could be working on a training aid to illustrate alternating and direct current flow for an aircraft. She knows the ins and outs of turning complex content into engaging learning material.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This award-winning eLearning developer is a long-time remote worker, conquering the L&D world from her cozy home office. Even after almost a decade as an instructional designer, a lot of people still scratch their head when she tells them what she does for a living.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to engaging learners in online training, here\u2019s what Ashley advises:<\/span><\/p>\n

Avoid overloading your learner with too much information\u00a0<\/em><\/h4>\n

Chunk the learning at appropriate intervals. What do I mean by this? Well, chunking allows you to take more complex information and break it into smaller, more palatable pieces of information.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

While at face value this tip doesn\u2019t sound too engaging, chunking allows you to avoid overloading your learner with too much information before they fully understand the smaller pieces. Furthermore, it allows your learners a better chance of processing and understanding the information that you\u2019re presenting them with.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In short: break each concept down into their smaller parts (or chunks) and teach each chunk until you reach the greater whole so that learners can fully learn the concept you are teaching them. Another way of looking at it \u2014 it\u2019s about separating the nice to know from the need to know.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Create a \u2018micro lessons\u2019 library<\/strong><\/h2>\n

An artistic nature who spends weekends painting in her studio, Crystal enjoys the creative freedom that instructional design offers.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is her tip on making the most out of your remote training:<\/span><\/p>\n

Micro lessons: brief, concentrated courses on a single topic that should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete<\/i><\/h4>\n

With remote access to learning becoming increasingly valuable, a carefully curated micro lesson library is an asset for any company with training needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/a>Micro lessons are brief, concentrated courses on a single topic that should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete. Each lesson is hyper focused and is presented in an easily digestible format that serves as a just-in-time resource for any employee who needs timely and time-sensitive resources to effectively complete their job, or appropriately utilize brief windows of down-time at work.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Use scenarios with characters<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Christy Tucker from <\/span>christytuckerlearning.com<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Instructional<\/a>Christy is a sci-fi & fantasy geek and a serial Dungeons and Dragons player who helps companies avoid the monotonous \u201cclick next\u201d eLearning approach.

She started out as a teacher and trainer, used to teach music, and has worked with universities and companies such as Cisco and Accenture before stepping \u201cbehind the scenes.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Christy\u2019s tip for non-boring, engaging employee training:<\/span><\/p>\n

Alongside behavioral engagement, think about cognitive and emotional engagement, too\u00a0<\/em><\/h4>\n

eLearning often focuses primarily on behavioral engagement (the actions or clicks people complete). However, just clicking isn’t enough to fully engage people in training. Think about <\/span>cognitive<\/b> and <\/span>emotional<\/b> engagement too. Give learners challenges that make them think. If they have opportunities to apply knowledge in a relevant context, they’ll be more cognitively engaged (thinking more deeply, rather than just remembering).\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Use scenarios with characters who face the same kinds of problems employees do\u00a0<\/em><\/h4>\n

Using scenarios can provide the context for practicing making the kinds of decisions [employees] have to use on the job. If the scenario has relatable characters and conflict, it also provides emotional engagement. Learners care more about training when they see characters who are like them and who face the same kinds of problems they do on the job. Even short, one-question scenarios can make training more engaging.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Engage your learners by selling the \u201cjourney\u201d<\/i><\/h4>\n

What would a great car salesperson do? Well, before showing you any specs they’d paint you a picture of what owning that car is like. The price is nothing compared to knowing your family’s safe, or your boss is green with envy!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

A great sales person tells you about Jim, who also wanted this car, didn’t think he could afford it. But, with perseverance and creative financing, Jim was able to bring it home to surprise his wife.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

What does this have to do with learning? Simply this. Learning is difficult. It forces me out of my comfort zone. Sell me on that journey.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

How?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Engage me with a story and let me influence its outcome. My reward for being brave enough to jump all in. Show me the future that could be mine. Whatever resource you show me next, I’ll be excited to learn from it.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s his tip on how to secure better knowledge retention:<\/span><\/p>\n

Retention is more likely when knowledge is applied in a real-world environment\u00a0<\/i><\/h4>\n

Learning improves when new knowledge is applied by the learner. Retention is more likely when knowledge is applied (or practiced), in a real world environment. In other words, a quiz doesn’t cut it! After all, when was the last time you completed a quiz as a part of your job duties?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

You may consider a simulation that mimics real job tasks and activities. You may also consider on the job practice with observation and feedback from a coach. The point is, make your practice as real as possible and knowledge will be retained and transferred.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Provide guidance: Learners require clarity about how to go forward and how they are progressing<\/i><\/h4>\n

Learners require clarity about how to go forward and how they are progressing. So many programs let them find their way. They lose confidence, and then motivation. They\u2019re gone.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why, early on, the learning material must show that it \u201cgets\u201d the learners. It knows who they are, what they need. The goals of the effort are clear. The approach features useful challenges, tasks and priorities. Learners are asked to be active in authentic ways. Learners have guidance on what to do and how to do it. No flopping around. When they do this, they are likely to experience the pleasure of success.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
