Summary

In modern business, training must be increasingly clever in stimulating curiosity , buy-in and application. You need to surprise and to excite people with a healthy mix of digital delivery and traditional face-to-face training. We must not confuse access with learning. Polished training combines delivery with outstanding support and assessment. For some the transition to e-learning is easy, while for others it could be highly stressful and unsettling. As a result an e-curriculum needs a design that is based on excellent consultation with business managers, customers and subject-matter experts, while also understanding human emotion, desire and willpower. One major influence on modern training is learning objects. Learning objects are small chunks of reusable and replaceable pieces of know-how that form the basis of most modern digital learning. Here again the best results only come with an integrated approach combining clear business needs with well- chosen training and support. Only then will the benefits of growing competitive advantage be realized.
