Make It Visually Engaging-A key strategy to draw in learners is the liberal use of imagery.It has been scientifically proven that people absorb visual information faster - in fact, 60,000 times faster than text. That’s a clear reason for making use of infographics, animations and videos in your learning course to not only keep the learners interested but also help them understand better.

Adopt A Storytelling Approach-Stories can bring alive training content in a manner that cannot be replicated. This approach is very effective in evoking an emotional response in learners which leads to better absorption and retention.Instructional designers can incorporate story-based learning by specific techniques like-Using a conversational tone through the learning course-Adding anecdotes as relevant to make the content feel more personal-Use case studies to provide relevant context for understanding policies-Soft skills training, Safety training, are some cases where this approach is helpful

Give A Immersive Experience-One of the top trending techniques that instructional designers can leverage is giving learners an immersive experience. A popular way is by adopting gamification. In this approach, game-design techniques are used to design the course. Gaming concepts like levels, bounties, and leaderboard are introduced to give learners a fun and competitive experience. Yet another major strategy is Scenario-based learning. Here learners are placed virtually in problem-based situations requiring them to understand and practice a new skill set in a relatively risk-free environment.Such strategies are highly impactful in cases like compliance training and Product Training.

Enable Just In Time Learning-Just in Time learning involves giving learners short chunks of information that they can consume in a short span of time. Typically these are a 5-7 minute “bite-sized” learning modules that give the learners the necessary takeaways concisely.
