How do you make e-learning engaging and not just engaging?
I've been asked to brainstorm our problem with our knowledge transfer training engagement. None of it trains in a way that asks the learner to apply the knowledge related to the tasks they carry...
Those groups should, at the very least, follow different paths in the course. Ideally, they'd just take different courses.
- If the courses are separate, you can update one when needed and require that group to take it. The other group would be unaffected by the versioning.
Put the first group in scenarios with questions that they might ask and that might be asked of them. Let them pull info/resources in the course that will help them.
For the second group, demo/explain what they need to do. When possible, try to simulate small tasks, e.g., choosing a given setting. And be sure there are good job aids they can refer to when they're actually using the instrument. (Of course, ideally, their training also involves hands-on practice overseen by an expert.)
