Three dimensions of e-Learnings
Informative
This dimension in e-Learnings aims to transfer information. Knowledge retention is only achievable if the content is experienced as relevant by the participants. Therefore, excellent training must portray emotional qualities besides the right content. Especially e-Learnings that transfer information mainly for awareness need to be relevant for the target group.
An example of bad practice would be time-consuming compliance training, where content is forgotten by completion. For these kinds of cases, emathon is the remedy. With storytelling, interactions, and much more, dry topics become pleasant learning experiences.
Manual
An e-Learning contains a manual like character if its target is to convey the handling of devices or software. Use-case-oriented e-Learnings are ideal for preparing participants for upcoming real-life applications. Through virtual interactions, the participant can understand the functionalities of specific device buttons or how to conduct digital processes.
Transferring How-to knowledge results in familiarity with real-world applications and prevents from feeling overwhelmed when encountering them. Further beneficial is the repeatability of the e-Learning at any place or time. The participant can repeat and reffer back to the content in a self-paced environment.
