Employee productivity can be a tricky goal. Managers and supervisors try on a regular basis with a variety of tools to gain increased performance and with varying success. However, all realize sooner or later that the same tool doesn’t work on a permanent basis, and many times conditions or the organization limit the ability to use other tools that would produce results. So what to do as an alternative? Distance learning and e-learning are becoming more and more of a practical option for productivity improvement, particularly with training people in new skills sets and knowledge.
As a training leader, you know the value of a well-crafted, comprehensive eLearning course. Some subjects indeed require depth and extended engagement, but you also recognize that not every learning objective needs to be met with lengthy sessions. Perhaps you've noticed a trend: employees are increasingly seeking quicker, more focused learning experiences that fit seamlessly into their busy schedules. This doesn't imply that your detailed courses are ineffective—far from it! Instead, it highlights an opportunity to amplify their impact by adapting some of this content into microlearning formats.
eLearning has come a long way, thanks to all the tech advances, but let’s face it—there’s still one big challenge that sticks around: keeping employees motivated and engaged.
In the world of corporate training, 'eLearning' and 'microlearning' often pop up in discussions as if they're interchangeable. However, as training leaders, it's crucial to know they're not just trendy buzzwords and they're certainly not the same thing. Each has its own place in the arsenal of a training leader, tailored to meet different needs.
