eLearning paths

Transform Your Training Program with Learning Paths

By Hurix | Digital Content Solutions | Comments are Closed | 14 May, 2020 | 0

Traditional learning and development programs aren’t obsolete, but they are incomplete to a large extent. Corporate training has evolved from classrooms to eLearning, and learning paths have become your liberator in times of digital revolution in learning.

There is a new paradigm in corporate training emphasizing the employee’s desire to learn in the flow of work. Traditional L&D methods have resulted in dismal employee engagement with 85% of the workforce lacking engagement according to a study by Gallup. This can be a result of tedious, monotonous content and lack of a clear learning path.

What is a learning path?

Learning path is the route taken by learners from a wide range of eLearning activities that allows them to gain knowledge at their own pace. Thus, learning path is an online, sequenced, structured learning route that emphasizes learning-specific objectives.

Moreover, learning path structures your content into digestible bites and also acts as a blueprint, guiding learners about the ways to proceed further.

Types of Learning Paths

  1. Sequenced Learning Paths: The learner is enrolled on a path that includes a predefined order of courses. As the learner completes one course, access is granted to the next one.
  2. Learning Paths with Learner’s Choice: Here, learners have the power to choose which course they want to complete first amongst all the assigned courses. The only constraint can be the timeframe allotted for completion of each course.

Through this blogpost, let’s get insights into the importance of learning paths and how to leverage them to improve your training programs.

Why are learning paths important?

1. Create Structured Learning Programs

Learning paths add structure to your training programs. You can control the order in which courses are assigned and also the timeframe during which they will be available. This allows learners to gain knowledge sequentially, increasing retention and eventually, the execution.

2. Save Time

Setting up learning paths well in advance makes your learners self-sufficient as once they finish one course, they are automatically assigned the next one. This helps you save the time of manually assigning the next courses.

3. Deliver Holistic Learning Experience

The lack of clarity about the training process often leads to ineffective learning. Learning paths are vital in creating a holistic experience through training. Employees will be aware of what is in store for them and what is expected from them. This helps them in preparation and learning.

4. Increase ROI

Through structured learning paths your employees absorb knowledge and ways to put it to practice at work. You can educate them about the latest efficient practices for your business growth without overloading them with information. This will benefit you not only in terms of ROI but also in employee productivity.

5. Increase Engagement & Retention

Learning paths promote bite-sized learning. This helps employees to learn and apply the knowledge immediately. The learning-by-doing method increases information retention and thus, ensures long term benefits of training. You can make your training more engaging through adding gamification, optical content, and narration into your learning paths.

6. Foster a Self-Paced Learning Culture

Employees usually feel in control of their learning process courtesy of learning paths. It provides a blueprint of the entire course and this lets the employees know what is expected and learn at their own pace. Self-paced learning proves to be most beneficial because of the high retention rate.

How to leverage learning paths to improve training programs

After understanding the importance of learning paths, here are a few ways to cultivate and use learning paths in designing your training programs.

1. Create Learning Goals & Targets

Give your learners some goals and targets to aim for. Goals can be short, medium, or long-term. This flexibility will motivate your learners to grow further. Along with setting goals for them, you can also let them create learning goals for themselves which will be based on their personal skills and performance gaps. Long-term goals can be divided into smaller chunks to keep employees motivated.

2. Empower Your Learners

Learning paths will give your learners the freedom of choice. You can empower your learners to choose which eLearning activity they want to complete next or how they will receive the course content. Learning paths will let your learners have a direct say in the training process as they can control the pace and pattern they learn with.

3. Utilize Online Self-Assessment

With the help of learning paths you can offer your employees a self-assessment program that they can take when they wish to quantify their knowledge and the progress made so far. This will help them understand their strengths and the skills they need to polish. Learning paths should be flexible enough to let them revisit certain courses they wish to revise. This will increase their productivity.

4. Design Programs for Different Learning Styles

All your employees have their own learning styles and personal preferences. The learning pace of two learners can never be the same. Customizing learning paths lets you design training programs that will cater to different learning styles with equal efficiency, ensuring all your employees gain equally from the training program.

6. Analyze Learner Behavior

Personalized learning paths can help you discover more about your employee’s learning behavior. You can closely examine the learning path of your employees, find out what activities they find more engaging, how they are progressing, and how they prefer to consume more information. These insights will help you further customize your learning paths to make your training programs more efficient and impactful.
