As learning designers, can we all agree that eLearning is dead? I’m not trying to be controversial, but eLearning conjures notions of bad PowerPoint-like courses (no offense PowerPoint, we still love you, but only when appropriate).

It’s the courses with the excruciatingly slow voiceover, the click-until-you-get-it-right knowledge check, and the grand-finale quiz that serves as our shining beacon that this experience will eventually end. So, we feverishly click “next” through slide after slide, just to end the experience.

AKA using their already learned and formed digital habits to educate, inspire and inform. If our learners are connected to their mobile devices 24/7 we have to use that to our advantage! However, today we are going to take it one step further and discuss the six-letter word that has taken the marketing world by storm, content, but more importantly we are going to discuss how to structure your content so your learner engages with it!

We are not only passionate about it because, well, we’re learning professionals, but also because helping employees grow is a strategy that can be applied to employee retention across almost all industries. Frontline workers, specifically, are an integral part of an organization that don’t always have educational pathway options available to them. And we think that ought to change.
