Lesson information:
As you read the lesson information below, look out for these learning points:
- There are a variety of ways you can implement your Interactive Learning Conversation.
- As a result of your needs analysis, you may have had an implementation context in mind prior to creating your interactive learning conversation.
- If you don’t have a clear picture of how you will implement your Interactive Learning Conversation, consider the three options presented below.
Intro Training Implementation
Stand-alone experience
→ A stand-alone learning experience is a self-contained learning experience that is not part of a larger training program.
- This type of learning experience is designed to provide learners with a specific set of knowledge, skills, or attitudes in a single, focused learning module.
- This option provides the most flexibility since they can be completed at any time and place, making it easy for learners to fit the training into their schedule. Similarly, stand-alone implementation can be easily scaled to reach a large number of learners.
It's important to keep in mind that stand-alone learning experiences may not be the best option for all types of training. For example, complex skills or knowledge that require a lot of practice and feedback may not be well-suited for a stand-alone learning experience. Additionally, learners may need additional support and guidance to apply the knowledge and skills they acquire in a stand-alone learning experience to their job.
Implementation into existing programming
→ Integrating an Interactive Learning Conversation into an already existing training program allows organizations to supplement their current training efforts with an active and experiential learning experience.
- This option can provide learners with a more comprehensive and effective learning experience.
- It can enhance and supplement existing training efforts, reinforce existing knowledge and skills, maximize the use of resources, address specific areas of improvement, and provide learners with a differentiated learning experience.
When selecting this option, it’s important to ensure that the Interactive Learning Conversation is properly integrated into the existing program and that it aligns with the overall goals and objectives of the program. Additionally, it’s important to consider the level of effort and resources required for integration and the potential impact on the existing program.
Building a curriculum around an interactive learning conversation can be a time-consuming and resource-intensive process and it's important to ensure that the Interactive Learning Conversation is properly integrated into the curriculum and that it aligns with the overall goals and objectives of the program.
Build curriculum around the Interactive Learning Conversation
→ Creating a learning program centered around the Interactive Learning Conversation.
- This type of program is designed to provide learners with a comprehensive and immersive learning experience that goes beyond a single training session.
- The curriculum can be tailored to the specific needs and interests of the learners, and include pre- and post-training activities and supplementary materials that provide learners with the necessary support and guidance to transfer their new knowledge and skills to the job.
