Reframe the concept of training

 

Effective training content will be:

a. Guided by desired learning outcomes

Well-designed course materials have the learning outcome underpinned throughout. Everything included should be a step closer to the desired outcome and add meaning to the skills being developed.

b. Relevant and focused

Content creators need to be fully aligned with the goal of the content, avoiding information that may be interesting but not strictly relevant to the learner. Keeping content direct and focused will help streamline learners to achieve the content’s goals.

 

c. True to life

Training materials for any organization should be grounded in the experiences employees face in their day-to-day work. They should be able to relate any training to their job and apply the skills effectively. Reposition training as a personalized, individual experience, engaging with each learner.
