Digital blended training is an emerging modality with a lot of potential. We have all experienced the challenges and limitations of in-person, online and virtual training. Digital blended training allows for the flexibility of online training while also leveraging the engagement of live events. However, it is not enough to take your existing training and simply repackage it in a new modality. At The Center for Leadership Studies, we rebuilt our flagship course natively in the digital blended modality. Using a learning platform, we created an experiential course that utilizes social and collaborative elements in addition to live virtual sessions to keep learners engaged over several weeks of training. The social learning elements allow learners to connect and engage with their peers at their own convenience by reading each other's insights and commenting or liking each other's responses to the training content. It is these social elements that have been the key to long-term engagement while delivering learning that can be consumed in the flow of work. This approach to digital blended training creates an environment where learners can interact with their peers and engage with the training content at their own pace, taking time to reflect before coming back to share their insights. This prolonged engagement with the training content facilitates greater understanding and retention. GatherinG Data Over the past year, we have gathered data on our digital blended training to determine strengths and weaknesses. This data allows us to refine our approach and create more immersive experiences moving forward. The purpose of collecting this data is to identify which learning elements create the most interactions. | 30https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2021/05/28/learning-in-the-flow-of-work/?sh=40ee92d179bd http://immersiveexperiences http://immersiveexperiences
