5 Tips To Develop Your Skills From eLearning
Training is aimed at making people like employees, students and customers use equipment or processes more. The same is also applicable to business partners or contract counterparts. If you are one of these persons, you have to maximise the training given to you because it will make you more valuable.
1. Be an Asset
A well-trained worker will better perform at the job, contribute to company success and receive the benefits given back by the management. Students who study their modules well will get higher grades. And customers and clients who learn well about the products and services they are using. If you are a business partner or a party in a contract with other business entities, you should pay attention to what these other parties present to you. Here are some tips that will help first timers do it right the first time and for veterans to be reminded of.
2. Attend
This is a reminder to all non-first timers to trainings or any presentations being given on a particular product, service, process or policies. And this is a warning to first timers. There are people who think that they can always study and learn by themselves. Thus, they skip the training or presentation. You need to attend. Okay, yes of course, you can always access the materials later on but this does not mean that you will not attend the session being called purely on your own will. ELearning is a process which is composed of steps. As such, it starts with a first step and attending is it. Accessing the materials later on is another step and skipping the first time attendance will make you a step behind.
3. Read in Advance
Before you attend your eLearning class, training or session, read or view the materials given to you in advance. It is a wise practice in the industry for the trainers or instructors to provide their participants with the material ahead of the actual session. If you have not receive one, have the initiative to ask for it.
4. Review the Materials
After reading or viewing the session materials in advance and actually attending the sessions, you have to review. Repetition is the mother of learning. Yes, you learn from your mistakes; you do not repeat your mistakes. But it is different with studying and training. You have to continue the process so that you will develop the working knowledge and the skills. Review the materials and your notes. You can revise your notes to update it with some more points you have observed as you reviewed.
5. Combine and Apply
As part and in continuing your mastery of the materials, you have to add new materials in your study. Do not rely solely on the resources given to you in the training or lesson modules and classes. Research more. Discuss with other participants regarding what you and they have learned. Look for professionals and other students in the subject and ask them questions. Further, see to it that you apply your knowledge, learnings and skills. Search for opportunities to do so. You can volunteer to help in ad hoc committees that need the skills and knowledge that you have or is developing.
