HR and Learning for Development Webinar - The Future of Learning : The Importance of Digital Education in L&D

In today’s world of constant change, it is the people of an organization that make a difference and provide competitive advantage. The people represent the beating heart of any business. Therefore, the key to success for any organization lies in the management and growth of its people.

Nurturing and developing these people are at the center of all L&D initiatives. These activities benefit employees and businesses alike, allowing both to grow in tandem.

However, providing this opportunity for growth can come at a considerable cost to an organization. Coupled with constant change, from technological advances to widening globalization, the need to reskill and upskill is ever increasing, adding to L&D cost.

Digital education and training have presented a solution to many organizations, providing their workforces with access to new ways to grow - reskill and upskill - and to tackle the challenges that lay ahead. Digital education is the future of learning and should form the basis of any HR-led L&D initiative.

This webinar will cover:

• Current trends in L&D and the focus of today’s learners

• Why continued self-development and L&D programs are important - especially in times of change

• The continuing emergence of digital education mediums

• The challenges and opportunities digital education provide - case studies from the COVID-19 pandemic

• Example of a microlearning service and how microlearning is effective (GLOBIS Unlimited)
