]]>Silver linings are hard to come by at the moment. Working life is, for many, as far from normal as it gets.
Markets are slowing or halted and social isolation policies take hold for ever greater numbers worldwide. “Business as usual” will take months or years to rediscover.
Our focus for now is on the immediate requirements, but soon thoughts will turn to ‘what next?’
Businesses and employees will enter a period of unprecedented time and space. With so many elements of working life on shutdown – projects paused, plans derailed, business models overturned – it will become critical (both for individuals and for businesses) to find a new focus.
Learning offers exactly that; a chance for us to find a truly positive future outcome from today’s adversity.
Once immediate concerns are in hand, the opportunity for learning and development will be generationally unique – there will never have been a time like it in history.
It is always valuable to learn something new, but in times of adversity the value increases. Rebuilding businesses that have been hit to their core will often take entirely new approaches; approaches that will require depths of imagination, strength and understanding to uncover.
Committing to learning may not seem like the priority now, but it will become a critical element in the recovery of both our businesses and ourselves.

]]>The entire world is rapidly exploring how to move all viable operations online to ensure continuity during these unprecedented times.
For educational institutions, the challenge is truly significant. Not only will courses need to be taught remotely, but students will also need to complete assessments, engage in community activities and interact with peers in wholly new ways. This challenge is coupled with the fact that classroom training cannot always directly be converted into e-learning without the right expertise and learning methodology – educational institutes will need to understand how classroom courses can and should be converted into e-learning and webinars.
Critical success factors will include whether quality of tuition can be maintained, whether accurate records can be kept and, ultimately, whether learners receive the outcomes they need. No mean feat.
Whilst our business has largely focussed on the iGaming sector, our expertise for the past 4 years has been e-learning with over 30,000 learners in 46 countries undertaking our e-learning courses on a yearly basis.
How can we help your business ensure continuity and create a new stream of potential revenue?
- We have extensive experience running large-scale remote and eLearning training programmes
- Our LMS Learning Management System can deliver custom eLearning and course content, and guarantee visibility on learner interactions
- Education programmes run by our academy have received accreditation from organisations in the UK, Malta and worldwide

]]>Cut to the content that fills learners’ knowledge-gaps and you’ll save time, money and frustrations.? Learn how an ‘adaptive’ approach can tailor training to learners’ level and experience.
Learning can be a joyful experience. But when employees are made to re-learn topics they already know well, there’s often little joy to be found.
In fact, for time-pressed executives, managers and leaders – the learning experience can be incredibly frustrating when its seen to be covering old ground. Training that is un-tailored and poorly pitched, offers little of value for the learner and can even be demotivating.
And yet, training is needed more than ever if we are to keep pace with our fast-evolving industry.
The online gambling industry is constantly evolving: management best practice changes and develops; new technologies disrupt markets bringing innovation and efficiency; and regulators pre-empt or adapt, introducing legislation.
These are just some of the reasons why ongoing training is essential in today’s world. Such training can ensure we remain compliant and follow best practice.
So how do you train, and re-train, without alienating experienced learners?
Start By Listening To Learner Resistance
When setting up training programmes, it’s normal to face resistance from learners. Often it boils down to two main reasons:
Time Pressure – “I just don’t have time right now”
Existing Knowledge – “I have been doing this for many years, I know my stuff!”
The response? Usually, those responsible for delivering training spend time explaining the importance of such training and/or reminding learners of their obligation to complete the training.
Whilst this might lead to the desired outcome – namely, learners taking the training – it is far from ideal, as frustrations have not been addressed.
Given the same scenario, the concept of Adaptive Training can be applied to achieve a more optimal outcome for all.
Introducing Pre-Assessments & Adaptive Training
To tackle resistance whilst emphasising the importance of ongoing training, iGaming Academy now offers two solutions.
Pre-Assessments: Prior to beginning training, these optional tests give learners a chance to prove their mastery of a topic. Material is challenging, ensuring a high standard of understanding.
Adaptive Training: Based on the Pre-Assessment result, training adapts based on proven knowledge, delivering tailored content that concentrates only on the learner’s knowledge gaps.
If the learner opts to take the Pre-Assessment and passes, they will be asked to complete a tailored version of the training which focuses on:
- Legislative updates
- Best Practice
- Areas of primary importance for the business
Those who fail or who opt not to take the Pre-Assessment will instead be asked to take the full interactive training course.
The Results: Training That Adds Value
Adaptive Training is designed to add just what is needed for a learner, rather than overlaying ‘previously secured’ knowledge. By eliminating unnecessary repetition, learners can spend their valuable time focussing on new and important content.
Businesses benefit from Adaptive Training by:
- Ensuring focus on need-to-know information
- Saving their employees time (and frustration!)
Try adopting an ‘adaptive’ approach into your next training initiative.
