Learning Amplified. (UX) Strategies to Super-charge engagement.

Gone are the days when companies could get away with boring employees to death with mind-numbing PowerPoints and calling it "training".

The rise of learning technology has revolutionised workplace skills development and paved the way for more immersive and human-centric learning journeys.

The new foundations of upskilling at work?

Attention, Engagement and Experience.

In this blog, I want to show you how, by applying a few simple user experience (UX) strategies, you can completely transform employees perception of online learning in your business.

So get ready to transform your learning and development content from a snooze-fest to success story.

Here are our top 3, tried and tested UX design strategies guaranteed to send those learning outcomes through the roof:

1. Make Navigation a Seamless Experience.

Many digital learning journeys fall foul of poorly designed navigation menus and menu content.

Heres how you can fix it:

• Design clear menus that mirror user expectations (think website navigation and you will be on the right track).
  

• Implement a logical content hierarchy that flows naturally.

• Ensure a robust search function that actually works.
  

2. Use Visual Hierarchies to Captivate Learners Attention.

Remember, humans are visual learners.

Design in:

• Headlines and bullet points for clear information architecture.

• Infographics and images to break down complex topics.

• Videos and animations to demonstrate concepts, scenarios and procedures.

3. Microlearning & Gamification:

Finally, don't forget, we learn when we play, right?!

Keep learners attention and dial up the fun factor with:

• Bite-Sized content
  

• Points, leaderboards & badges
  

• Micro-challenges, knowledge checks and quizzes to reinforce key takeaways.
