Today, more than ever, there is a need to ensure that virtual learning works to improve organizational outcomes. Because of the surge in work-at-home arrangements and travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, most learning has shifted to a virtual format. This requires program owners to design virtual learning with desired outcomes in mind and demonstrate that the virtual format works.
Studies show that virtual learning often breaks down when measured at the application level (using what was learned) and impact level (the business impact connected to learning). However, this breakdown is avoidable. To secure the support and funding that virtual learning needs, it must deliver business results.
This session explains how designers, developers, providers, and program owners can ensure that technology-based learning delivers desired results by applying design thinking principles that focus on delivering application and impact.
Further your diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) journey with an illuminating discussion led by Liza Wisner, OpenSesame senior DE&I curation specialist. They come together with pooled perspectives from HR, learning, and DE&I experts to provide practical tips to facilitate your organization’s DE&I progress. In this session you’ll learn who to involve in the process, how to navigate difficult conversations, and how to move beyond one-off training sessions to ensure the sustainability of a well-rounded team.
