The transition to digital learning had always been promised, however, the timelines have been accelerated due to Covid-19 crisis. Digital learning has also started to redefine the structure of the Learning and Development teams. In recent research conducted by CLO Magazine, 72% of the respondents said they had increased the use of learning platforms and 67% had increased frequency of communications and collaboration. Remote learning can be a nebulous territory as several questions crop up. How exactly are learners accessing the training? How much time do they have to spare for the training? Can part of the training be delivered in asynchronous mode? The role of L&D has also undergone a shift in tandem with these changing trends – as the learning teams now need to be more digitally savvy than ever to identify not just the right content but also the right delivery mechanism.
