Learning can be a joyful experience. But when employees are made to re-learn topics they already know well, there\u2019s often little joy to be found.<\/p>\n
In fact, for time-pressed executives, managers and leaders \u2013 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.<\/p>\n
And yet, training is needed more than ever if we are to keep pace with our fast-evolving industry.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
These are just some of the reasons why ongoing training is essential in today\u2019s world. Such training can ensure we remain compliant and follow best practice.<\/p>\n
So how do you train, and re-train, without alienating experienced learners?<\/p>\n
When setting up training programmes, it\u2019s normal to face resistance from learners. Often it boils down to two main reasons:[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n
Time Pressure \u2013 \u201cI just don\u2019t have time right now\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Existing Knowledge \u2013 \u201cI have been doing this for many years, I know my stuff!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Whilst this might lead to the desired outcome \u2013 namely, learners taking the training – it is far from ideal, as frustrations have not been addressed.<\/p>\n Given the same scenario, the concept of Adaptive Training can be applied to achieve a more optimal outcome for all.<\/p>\n To tackle resistance whilst emphasising the importance of ongoing training, iGaming Academy now offers two solutions.<\/p>\n Pre-Assessments<\/strong>: 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.<\/p>\n Adaptive Training<\/strong>: Based on the Pre-Assessment result, training adapts based on proven knowledge, delivering tailored content that concentrates only on the learner\u2019s knowledge gaps.<\/p>\n 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:<\/p>\n Those who fail or who opt not to take the Pre-Assessment will instead be asked to take the full interactive training course.<\/p>\n Adaptive Training is designed to add just what is needed for a learner, rather than overlaying \u2018previously secured\u2019 knowledge. By eliminating unnecessary repetition, learners can spend their valuable time focussing on new and important content.<\/p>\n Businesses benefit from Adaptive Training by:<\/p>\n Try adopting an \u2018adaptive\u2019 approach into your next training initiative.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n
\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]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.<\/p>\nIntroducing Pre-Assessments & Adaptive Training<\/h4>\n
