But, there is a multitude of other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.game-learn.com\/en\/resources\/blog\/embracing-lifelong-learning-5-ways-online-education-can-benefit-you-and-your-career\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reasons to switch over to e-learning<\/a>. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It saves money.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can eliminate time constraints and physical classrooms.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can access courses from any mobile device or computer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It drives digital transformation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It lets you track results and give feedback.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Implementing this methodology is not nearly as complicated as it may sound on its face. You can do it too by following these quick and easy steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. Diagnose the needs of your company<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every organization has different long and short-term training needs, which are defined by the company\u2019s strategy and personnel. It\u2019s important to keep your finger on the pulse of your company, and luckily there are many ways to do so:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Surveys and questionnaires<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: asking employees specific and pointed questions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Tests<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: assessing your teams\u2019 knowledge to pinpoint any weaknesses<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Meetings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: focusing on company policies or programs through conversation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Individual interviews<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: focusing on verbal communication, but in a more intimate environment<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Observation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: gathering and analyzing information about the company and its employees through observation<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you&#8217;ve identified your company&#8217;s needs, then you can start prioritizing its goals and start looking for the right platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>2. Choose the correct platform<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training managers should weigh their options and decide which training platform is best for them. For better or for worse, there are ample options on the digital market, but a good way to narrow them down is by doing a SWOT analysis. You should also consider the following when choosing a platform:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you want to be able to write your own content?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will the courses increase employee engagement?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should the design be adaptable?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does it offer reports or feedback?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3. Organize the rollout<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want the platform to be implemented without any hitches, consider and have your team ready for any possible complications that may arise. Lay out steps for what the launch will look like, including a communication plan and a strategy for after the unveiling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pay as close attention as possible to every detail, but you\u2019ll likely find it much easier and more intuitive than you may be imagining.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>5. Train your teams<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Putting together a training session (using the new tool) about the new tool is a great way to get people excited about it. So, put together some sessions and invite the relevant people or teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure employees understand the benefits of the platform and how it works, as well as answer any of their lingering questions before starting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>6. Measure the results<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve started your training program, how do you know you\u2019ve made the right decision? Start quantifying its value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set up a trial period and monitor the tool\u2019s performance along with how your teams are progressing with their training. Keep track of the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">User incidents<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Course completion and recommendation rates<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results of satisfaction surveys<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loading times on the platform<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The quality of tech support<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How does Gamelearn\u2019s platform fit into all this?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gamelearn offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.game-learn.com\/en\/resources\/blog\/what-makes-gamelearn-a-leader-in-game-based-learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">100% cloud-based training platform<\/a> that\u2019s been on the market for more than 15 years and has delivered high-quality training to more than 3,000 companies around the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three main characteristics that set Gamelearn apart from its competitors:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Gamification<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: storytelling, awards, leaderboards, points, badges, etc. work wonders for increasing player engagement and motivation.
