The world of training is changing. The days of all day workshops and seminars are quickly behind us. Employees need to be developed but there is little time allowed for the old traditional ways. This is where the world is changing and NOW has never been a better time for trainers to build their Value! This webinar will teach specific ways to develop employees into willing learners that accelerate the training and coaching process.

In-person training is reliable, personal and interactive. Online training is scalable, cost-effective and empowers people to learn at their own pace, on their own time. With today's agile workforce, blended learning offers the best of both worlds.

Designing learning is like "changing the conversation" in the minds of the learners. Paradigm shifts are necessary to effect behavioral changes. There is a need to change what the learners believe in. Hence, existing stories require transformation so learners believe in the new stories you want them to buy into and own up to.

The more you know, the more options and ideas become evident to solving instructional design challenges. The more you know about variable programming in Storyline, the world opens up to unlimited design possibilities.

The digital skills gap is hardly news to American workers. Of the more than 200 million adults in the US digital workforce, only one in ten consider themselves very proficient with the digital tools they use every day. As companies move quickly to adopt new cloud-based platforms, such as Microsoft Office 365, Google Apps, and Adobe Creative Cloud, as well as new types of tools for marketing, analytics, communications, and more, employees and managers are hard-pressed to fit digital skills training into jam-packed schedules and tight budgets.

What are your employees learning today? Or maybe a better question might be, are your employees learning today? If you aren't certain of the answer to either question, or the answer to either question is negative, you might have a problem. And the problem might not be your employees, either.

If implemented correctly, e-learning can positively impact any organization. But so much of the e-learning created and invested in today relies on technology, and focuses on content instead of the learner and improving performance - the result - boring e-learning and wasted budgets!

The complaints are familiar: Traditional means of managing organizational knowledge - in reports, status meetings, and standard operating procedures - just don’t work very well. We amass piles of documentation yet can’t find what we need when we need it, we find out too late that a task was already accomplished, better, by someone in another organizational silo, we spend hours never finding the information we’re looking for.

Is your learning strategy firing on all cylinders? We're currently in the process of benchmarking learning techniques and technologies used across multiple Training Magazine's Top 125 winners. During this one-of-a-kind webinar event, we'll share some discoveries from preliminary data on innovative best practices in such areas as proactively establishing an informal learning strategy, using mobile at the right time and for the right reasons, engaging participants in social learning communities, extending learning to partners and customers, creating macro-level blends; and much more.

Gamification should be thought of as a design sensibility and not merely a digital tool. It is a thought process and a methodology to think about engaging and motivating learners. While a result of gamification is often fun, the ultimate outcome behind developing a gamified approach is increased engagement and motivation.

When asked to identify the weakness in most e-learning, designers and students alike often note the failure to engage the learner’s attention as a chief problem. E-Learning is labeled boring; learners take the path of least resistance instead of thinking through the questions; completion is something to be checked-off a list rather than an indicator of proficiency. The problem is, "How do you motivate the learner while still doing the serious work of instruction?"

Over the next decade, organizations will experience the largest wave of retirements in history. To further impact turnover rates, Gen X and Gen Y workers on the average are leaving after only 5 and 2 years of services respectively.

During this session, you will discover tactics to create more meaningful communication with training requesters so that you can better understand the performance and results that the training is intended to support.
