Unlock the Secret to Engaging Custom Elearning: 3 UX Tips from a Training Company Design Team

Imagine a world in which your employees are excited to complete custom elearning topics, not because they have to, but because the UX is so delightfully engaging. Sounds impossible? Well, not if you’re up to speed with the latest trends in training company design. Let’s dive into three tips from our expert design team that will help you transform your custom elearning from ‘mandatory torture’ into a user experience that your employees will truly enjoy.

1. Make it Interactive and Personalized

Long gone are the days of passive learning. To keep your employees engaged, it’s essential to incorporate interactive elements and personalization into your elearning topics. One L&D professional explains, ‘We’ve seen a significant increase in engagement and knowledge retention when we added elements like quizzes, polls, and interactive videos.’

2. Focus on Microlearning and Mobile-First

With 80% of internet users owning a smartphone, it’s no surprise that mobile-first elearning is becoming increasingly popular. By focusing on bite-sized, easily digestible modules or ‘microlearning’, you can make learning more accessible for your busy employees, allowing them to learn at their own pace and on their own terms.

An L&D expert shares, ‘Microlearning has been a game-changer for us. Our employees can now complete a module while waiting for a meeting or during their commute.’

3. Encourage Social Learning

There’s no denying the power of peer-to-peer interaction when it comes to learning. Encourage your employees to share their experiences, insights, and tips with one another by incorporating elements of social learning into your custom elearning topics. This could include forums, chat features, or even gamification elements that foster friendly competition.

One L&D leader notes, ‘Our employees love the leaderboard in our elearning platform. It has not only increased engagement but also fostered a sense of camaraderie.’
