This article will take you to a unique journey of understanding the importance of eLearning in the light of past experiences, especially through the lessons learnt from the recent pandemic.
Lessons learnt from Pandemic
In the past few months, the ever-changing dynamics of this world have taught us various lessons – not taught in schools or read in books ever before. We couldn’t predict such a catastrophe before us through satellites and modern-day algorithms like we monitor weather, hurricanes or sometimes earthquakes. Shaky, shattered and shrinking economies around the world are recovering from what they never expected. With never-seen-before pandemic came never-learnt-before lessons. During the lockdowns, people were stranded in their homes, shops were closed, offices were at no or minimum working, or people were working virtually from homes.
One of the greatest lessons of the pandemic is the realization of the fact that distant work, distant learning and distant socialization is possible, unique in its own ways with massive perks. Yes! In addition, it taught us that it is very important to continue learning and growing with changing trends, adapting to the growing circumstances to be able to survive.
Corporate Learning for organizational success
Consider yourself in a corporate organization which works and values its unique culture, brand strategies and wisdom. You were never there before, but now you are a part of them. To be able to survive, it is imperative that you learn, adapt and own the unique identity of the culture and values close to the organization’s heart. But how would you know that in an event of a pandemic? Do we still expect in-person training sessions when we can do that from distance from one’s own comfort anywhere? If Yes, then perhaps we are still short of the takeaways from the pandemic. It taught us to adapt to changing trends and utilize the available technologies and methods to overcome our needs and weaknesses. If we will not shift to eLearning now, we will be missing on huge savings on our time, costs, and efforts. Moreover, there are lots of engaging and motivating ways of how participants can be involved to respond best against the learning outcomes.
