LaunchingDigital Learning in Your

Organization

What is

Digital

Learning?

Going digital is the new mantra

we hear everywhere and it has

not spared the learning and

training domain.

While some organizations have

already embraced digital

technologies in the form of online

learning or e-learning for

corporate training, many

organizations are yet to make a

start.

Why should you consider digital

learning in your organization?

Provide employees the access to train at their convenience

and pace

Offer training through multiple devices and formats

Build a repository of digital training resources that can be

mixed and matched to suit different training situations

Scale up training to a much larger section of employees

instead of a selected few and so that you can track and

monitor them on an individual basis

In order to start digital learning or digital training in your organization,

you need to be ready with…

What do you

need to get

started with

digital learning?

Digital training will obviously go along

with your existing training methods.

Therefore, you need to have a strategy

in place to ensure your training efforts

are not duplicated needlessly, and all

training delivery formats are in

sync and work in harmony with each

other.

Digital Training Strategy

Once you have decided to go digital for

your training, you need to develop

content for digital learning.

Digital content can be in the form of

E-learning courses, Videos, Mobile

learning modules, Podcasts, Webinars,

and so on.

Digital Learning Content

Once you have your content ready, you

will need a platform to host the content.

Ideally, you should have a Learning

Management System (LMS).

An LMS helps not only to administer,

and document training, it also provides

invaluable service in terms of tracking,

reporting, and delivering online

learning.

Technological Platform

to Host the Content

One of the key things that you need

to build when implementing digital

learning in your organization is a

repository of digital content.

Digital resources too have to be

diversified (multiple formats) to

cater to different needs and

learning scenarios for employees.

You can have digital learning

content in the following formats…“”

Types of Digital Learning Content

E-learning courses consist of interactive learning modules that are created with

a well thought instructional strategy that achieves the intended learning

outcomes.

E-learning Modules

E-assessments

E-assessments or online assessments are a convenient way to test the knowledge

or skills of learners - before training to test training needs, or after training to test

knowledge retention.

Videos

Videos are very versatile as they can be used during

classroom training, as part of e-learning, or as

independent learning nuggets, addressing a single

learning objective.

Podcasts

Podcasts are audio files that can be used to provide quick reminders, checklists,

or messages from CEOs.

Webinars

Webinars are seminars delivered online by a subject matter expert or training

manager.

Digital Manuals and Resources (E-books)

Traditionally, employees were given a physical training manual at the end of a

training program.

However, very often the physical manual is lost in the office clutter.

Also, it is not possible to access this when the need presents itself unexpectedly.

Therefore, having these documents in an easily accessible, digital format is ideal.

How can Digital Learning

Blend with Existing Training?

The most important aspect you need to take into account when

going digital with your training program is figuring out what can

be dealt with through a face-to-face interaction and what can

go online.

Ultimately, your objective is to equip your employees in the

most effective manner, with the right skills and knowledge.

Doing so will ensure they achieve the desired performance,

which in turn will achieve organizational objectives.

Before we leave, let us quickly recap

what we have learned.

Digital learning options have provided immense

opportunities to organizations to build digital

learning assets.

These assets can be categorized based on the

training programs and formats.

They can be in the form of e-learning

modules, videos, podcasts, webinars,

or PDF documents.
