The shift to remote work triggered a massive social and technological experiment as organizations moved quickly to digitize in-person training. The early results of this unprecedented migration are in, and with the benefit of hindsight, learning designers are now figuring out the best way to provide learning experiences that are engaging and deliver meaningful business impact.

At first, video-conferencing looked like the best stand-in for in-person learning—or at least, good enough for emergency purposes. As time has gone on, and the horizon for fullyand partly-remote work has extended, the challenges of using video-conferencing as an easy substitute for in-person have come to the fore. Learners suffer from ‘Zoom fatigue’ as learning becomes just another meeting in a daily parade of video conferences. Instructors struggle to recreate engaging in-person experiences in an online format. Many are finding that video conferences consume as much energy as in-person without the rewards.

The net result: it is now obvious that replicating face-toface learning experiences online is more difficult than we thought.

In this e-book, we consider how taking a design approach to learning can inform how and when to use synchronous, asynchronous, and blended online modalities to meet the needs and circumstances of learners, while achieving core learning objectives that are tied to business outcomes.
