Use technology to your advantage and enhance the retention rates of your training sessions. Classrooms change. Courses change. But the age-old struggle of any learning or development session stays intact. How to retain knowledge gained beyond the training session? And how to apply the concepts taught during training to a real-life scenario? By David Hand.
Students, instructors, and organizations – they all come across this pain point eventually. Conducting a session seems relatively easy. What’s difficult is translating that time into something productive, enduring, and usable – long after the session is over.
This is a gap that only worsens with time. Knowledge retention and how to apply it continue to be significant challenges that dilute the effectiveness of training programs. In a LinkedIn Workplace Learning Report 2020, Learning and Development (L & D) professionals showed that evaluating the effectiveness of learning programs topped the list of areas of their strategic focus.
Their strategic priorities are condensed around learning outcomes – with 38% who want to evaluate the impact of learning, 35% who want to improve learning engagement, and many who agreed that course completion may not be the right engagement metric.
Thankfully, modern tools like hands-on virtual labs can help accomplish this easily. They are driven by cloud and immersive technologies and add convenience as well as time-savings for students and trainers. They also deliver much more than that. Hands-on virtual labs arm both learners and instructors with multiple opportunities to enhance training and increase retention. Follow the link to the full article to learn how. Good read!
