My eBook, Elevating Remote Learning Programs – How to Engage Your Learners in the Remote Workplace Through Immersive Learning Strategies, offers insights on how to deliver immersive learning experiences to engage learners in the remote workplace.
Connecting with distant learners, and keeping them engaged throughout the learning journey, is a challenge for L&D professionals. This newfound learning environment denotes that trainers need to work “differently” to hold the learners’ engagement.
Virtual learning involves a different training paradigm where learners are fully immersed in the learning, compared to other forms of training. Providing immersive virtual learning experiences to remote learners is even more imperative now.
And, given that this non-traditional learning environment requires an equally “non-traditional” training approach, L&D teams must look at offering more immersive virtual learning experiences.
Immersive learning approaches not only help you engage your remote learners but they also create learning experiences that are sticky and ensure that higher level goals like application of learning or change in thinking or behavior are met.
Of the various options that you can use to deliver immersive learning experiences, in this eBook, I show you how 4 techniques – Gamification, Microlearning, Video Based Learning, and Scenario Based Learning can be used.
