QUESTION 1: For its 2017 Training Industry ReportTraining (2017) surveyed more than 300 U.S.-based corporations and educational institutions with 100+ employees. Training delivery was one of the topics explored. Seventy-three percent of the survey respondents reported that they use online training methods such as virtual classrooms, webcasts, and video broadcasting; approximately 29% of all training hours were delivered by online or computer-based technologies (Training, 2017). Have you participated in any electronic training at work? If so, how well did the e-training comply with the Gagne’s Nine Step Training Design model (discussed in Week 5) and Adult Learning Theory (discussed in Week 4)? Based on what you have learned so far in the course, what could have improved your learning experience?

If you were going to try to convince management in your organization to use mobile devices for training purposes, what arguments would you use?

Question 1

My e-learning experience complied well with Gagne’s nine-step training design model. The training was in the form of audio and video recordings, which could be played from different devices like mobile phones, tablets, and laptops. While listening to the content, I noticed that the speakers were keen to draw the attention of the audience before beginning the lesson using jokes, common phrases, and humorous jargon.
