What is Digital Learning?

Think of the imminent concerns for your organisation amidst this pandemic. How do we train or communicate with our members scattered all across the cities? How do we go about our onboarding process now? Did you know that these dilemmas can be resolved through digital learning

 

Simply put, digital learning leverages the currently existing technologies to make learning more accessible and effective. From microlearning to utilising videos, online courses, and podcasts, it is a helpful way to provide your employees with the necessary knowledge and skillset. When you invest in this method, you are also investing in your employees’ upskilling and performance

 

Advantages of Digital Learning

Customised Learning Experience

We can all agree that learning never stops. But, among the thousands of topics already available, how do we even choose? Well, one of the advantages of digital learning is the ability to customise the learning experience based on the needs of your learners. You’ll be able to pick specific topics that your learners need to fulfil their duties and responsibilities. As it is self-paced, it can also reduce the time needed to finish the course. 

 

Cheaper and Easier

Digital learning also poses the practicality of being cost-effective and efficient at the same time. For instance, organisations won’t have to worry anymore about rental and electricity costs. Most importantly, trainers and learners alike won’t have to suffer getting stuck in traffic. In other words, it can help organisations manage training programmes with ease.

 

Accessible

The fact of the matter is: technology is part of our daily lives now more than ever. We have our reliable desktops, portable laptops, and handy mobile phones. So why not make learning as easy as pulling up a social networking app? Digital learning offers the benefit of learning from anywhere and everywhere at any given time of the day. This means that you can have the flexibility of learning even from the comforts of your own home. Trainers and learners may not be able to see each other physically. But with the help of technology, they can see and interact with each other virtually. In short, we can have a much more accessible learning experience no matter what device we use.

 

Fun and Interactive

Digital learning opens the gates to a broader approach to effective learning strategies. When combined with traditional learning methods, it can deliver much more fun and interactive way of learning. Organisations can take advantage of tools accessible digitally like videos and animated slides. By doing this, they can come up with games they can participate in virtually. This will keep the learning experience more fun and exciting. Thus, this often results in a much more engaging experience for learners.
