Training was once an arduous time-consuming task for both the trainer and the trainee. Today, it has become an easy to access and interesting method of disseminating information throughout the organization.
The modern day training calls for a judicious mix of technologies and approaches. Getting the mix correct ensures benefits to the organization like profitability, efficiency, and employee belonging.
Modern systems like the LMS, which harness the power of social learning or tracking middle level managers (line managers) who do not support the training initiatives, and support hosting courses like eLearning courses, can provide clear value to an organization.
We hope this edition's cover article, L&D: A Mix Of Technologies And Approaches by Anand Timothy, will help you design the perfect mix of technology and learning to empower your employees.
Gamification is widely used by food and retail businesses today to drive customer engagement. The influence of games is, however, not restricted to these industries alone. It has influenced various other sectors and workplaces, and training too.
With the inclusion of millennials and Gen Z in the workforce, the demand for positive experiences, device flexibility and even emotional quotient has increased. Gamification is your answer to these demands.
Gamification is not about turning the workplace/training into a playground. Rather, it focuses on the psychology behind engagement in games i.e. rewards, resolve, pride, competition, and ranking. How then are the elements of games successfully incorporated in learning and learning technology, in particular to Learning Management Systems (LMSs)?
Amit Gautam, in his article 6 Levels Of Successful Gamification Strategy, goes in-depth on this and will help you understand the psychology behind engagement in games.
Moving on there is Andrew Hughes' Microlearning: The Way Forward For Corporate Training Needs, where he talks about what you need to do if you want to keep up with the new-age learners in your workplace.
Also read, Why Employee Training Should Go Beyond The Classroom by Jason Carney and How To Build A Successful Learning Campaign? by Manirangan Seetharam, among other articles in this edition of Training and Development Excellence.
