Keeping learners focused and interested during training programs can be a challenge in today’s fast-paced world where attention spans are decreasing. Elearning providers have solved this problem by incorporating elements that will improve the overall interactivity and engagement throughout learning experiences.
Here are 4 of the top 10 ways to do so:
Include interactive assessments to ensure users can apply the content to real-life situations, testing them in a creative way. Examples of this include mini games and puzzles.
Immersive scenarios offer learners the ability to direct their learning paths, based off decisions, by implementing branching of multiple-choice questions throughout the entire course. This increases learning results as users can see the choices they made and how it impacted the final outcome.
Educating through video increases retention and promotes engagement. Videos are good tools to use for highlighting important material and offering feedback. You can even produce it using a cell phone device, so start recording!
Gamifying a learning experience increases the intrinsic motivation in users and delivers content in an entertaining way. Examples of this include leaderboards, course levels, and badges for progress.
Interactivity and engagement are both key factors in developing a successful learning solution and provide many benefits to your employees. Keeping these tips in mind will help ensure your learners are focused and your training developments are effective.
