Just imagine..
A quick meal after a long day at work. Kids a kiss. Then back in the car on the way to a course. You're already tired, you've been 'turned' on 'all day and tried to process all the information that came your way. You don't expect to remember much of the course material.
It would be better if you could choose when to learn. The moment you feel clear. Sleeped in. Ready to take in information.
You may be at home behind your desk, at work, on the train, or on the couch under a blanket.
Back to the course you were heading to. Teaching materials are distributed. The quality of the copies is nothing to write home about and you've forgotten your reading glasses at home.
Wouldn't it be more convenient if you could open the documents when you have your reading glasses at hand, or enlarge the documents on your computer or iPad so you don't even need your reading glasses?
Or maybe you'd prefer to watch a video clip that explains and illustrates the definition you're trying to master, rather than reading about the definition in a piece of text.
Not ideal conditions to start a learning process.
You immediately experience obstacles that don't exactly influence your motivation positively. And motivation is key to achieving learning outcomes and success.
Gamification also has a positive influence on intrinsic motivation. Read how to apply this here.
Intrinsic motivation plays an important role in learning. In order to experience intrinsic motivation, three things are important: autonomy, mastery and purpose (Dan Pink, 2009).
Autonomy means that you experience freedom in the tasks you perform; at what time and in what time frame you perform these tasks; with whom you perform these tasks; and how you perform these tasks. Learning flexibility is therefore very important to stimulate and maintain intrinsic motivation.
Mastery means that employees do work for which they are talented. Universal design for Learning promotes “multiple means of engagement” that triggers students to learn in a way that suits them and that matches their experiences. In addition, it is important to present the learning material in different ways, so that the material is accessible, challenging and interesting for everyone (regardless of background or learning style). Sometimes, during professional development, you are triggered to learn a new skill that is not directly part of your talent collection. But when you experience a sense of success in this, it can bring about a sense of mastery.
In addition, it is of course very important to have a clear goal in mind. How can you apply the knowledge you gain to your job? How does it make your work easier, more efficient or more challenging?
To give the learning process extra strength, it is important that progress is visible and that you can regularly ask for feedback so that you have an idea if you are on the right track.
E-learning originated from the above principles. Based on the need for freedom, flexibility and accessibility to learning. The rapid technological developments of the last decades have given e-learning an extra boost.
To determine whether e-learning is right for you, or your organization, we list the pros and cons.
