ing Challenge #2: Low Learner Engagement

Many employees view training as an afterthought due to programs and tools that are not learner-centric. These programs often compromise productivity, take too long to access, and are not perceived as valuable. Microlearning addresses these issues by being concise and focused, delivering only the most essential information. It can be accessed in the flow of work through mobile apps or tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams, making training more accessible and engaging. Additionally, microlearning fosters competition and self-assessment through team and individual leaderboards, aligning employee skills with organizational goals.

Strategies include:

• Interactive Content: Incorporate quizzes, polls, and interactive videos to keep learners actively involved.

• Gamification: Add gamelike elements such as badges, leaderboards, and rewards to make learning fun and competitive.

• Microlearning: Break down content into bite sized chunks that are easier to digest and less overwhelming.
• Personalization: Tailor content to individual learner needs and preferences to make it more relevant and engaging.

• Real World Applications: Connect learning material to real world scenarios that learners can relate to and find valuable.

• Feedback and Support: Provide timely feedback and create a supportive learning environment where learners feel encouraged and motivated.
• Variety in Content Delivery: Use a mix of text, videos, infographics, and podcasts to cater to different learning styles.
• Community and Collaboration: Foster a sense of community by encouraging collaboration and discussion among learners.
