We like eLearning so much better than in person training!
Challenge
The clients’ existing content was heavily text-based and difficult for learners to read, being primarily in Word and PowerPoint formats. The challenge was to transform this text-heavy material into an engaging and digestible format that learners would find enjoyable and beneficial. Additionally, the content needed to include interactive elements such as multimedia content, quizzes, and simulations. These interactive features aimed to heighten learner engagement and motivation. Ultimately, the goal was to enhance the retention of information and ensure it was effectively applied in real-world scenarios.
Solution
ThinkingKap addressed this challenge by transforming theoretical concepts into real-world examples, case studies, and practical exercises. This approach made the learning material more relevant and applicable to everyday life or work situations. The content was then restructured with a focus on visual appeal, incorporating multimedia elements to engage visual learners. Interactive quizzes and simulations were integrated strategically to reinforce learning and provide immediate feedback. This comprehensive design ensured that learners could see the practical value of the material, thus enhancing their overall engagement and investment in the course.
Impact
As a result of these efforts, the eLearning courses facilitated a much more engaging learning experience for users. The interactive and visually appealing content significantly increased learner motivation, making the educational process more enjoyable and rewarding. This heightened motivation translated into improved learning outcomes, with learners demonstrating better retention of information. Furthermore, the enhanced retention facilitated better knowledge transfer to real-world contexts, effectively bridging the gap between theory and practice. Ultimately, these improvements led to a more meaningful educational experience for the learners and a higher return on investment for the client.
WORK SAMPLES
During the client’s presentation she would engage the learners with scenarios. Groups would act out real-life situations and determine what leadership style is being used. We incorporated this technique in the WBT by designing a series of scenarios the learner listens to and then determines what leadership style is being use.
During class sessions the instructor would ask brain teaser questions to get the learners to start thinking about IT Security. We modeled this in the WBT by asking a series of non-graded questions, scattered throughout the course, to get the learner thinking and engaged about IT Security. This question is an example of one of the teaser questions asked.
During classroom training, the learners were given a list of items that may pose a security risk. We took this list and created a series of situations in which the learner had to determine whether it would pose a risk to security or not.
During the ILT the instructor would explain each phase of the process using PowerPoint slides. We took this same approach and made this complex process diagram completely animated and narrated. The learner received the same message through animations and the ability to click through the phases to better chunk the information.
