Summary: COVID-19 has brought the world to a standstill. Most of us can feel its impact all around us. Classes are being suspended, events are being canceled, travel is being cut down, everyone is preferring to stay at home. In this situation, how can educators and L&D stakeholders ensure that business runs as usual and learning is delivered even when people can’t meet face-to-face?

COVID-19 And Its Impact On Business And Education

This pandemic has made us reconsider all norms. Distance education is the new preferred way to educate as students now learn from home. Working habits are changing. Hello, work from home! With so many of us trying to switch to online learning, it becomes critical to ensure that instructors and trainers are armed with the right toolset to create the same.

Online Learning: Challenges To Address

We need to keep in mind that online training, although a very effective way of delivering learning remotely, comes with its own set of challenges. The biggest among those is learner engagement, in the absence of a physically present instructor. This is more relevant especially in today’s health crisis when learners might be highly distressed or anxious.

Another significant consideration is getting the length right for an eLearning module. It should be long enough to keep learners engaged but not so long that learners tire out. Crisp and short interactive eLearning nuggets could be one of your best bets to engage remote learners and keep them motivated.
