Introduction: A revolutionary tool for training carers
You are a trainer, an educational engineer or the director of a training organisation. In this article we take a look at an innovative approach to training: microlearning. More specifically, we’ll look at how this tool can be successfully used to improve the skills of care assistants like Anissa, and ensure their well-being at work.
In our case study, Anissa, who suffers from musculoskeletal disorders, has found an effective solution thanks to Microlearning. Let’s take a look at how this method has transformed her training experience and her day-to-day professional life.
The Microlearning revolution
This is where Microlearning comes in. This revolutionary approach to training offers short, targeted sessions, ideal for busy professionals like Anissa. As we said earlier, the course was packed with information in a very short space of time. Once she’s back in the field, Anissa wants to put what she’s learned into practice. The problem is that she can’t remember everything and she doesn’t know exactly how to apply what she’s learned.
In a ‘traditional’ training course, Anissa doesn’t have any support material to fall back on, so she tries to do her best without really knowing whether or not she’s doing the right thing. This is where microlearning comes in. Anissa is back in the field and what she has learnt is both very clear and very vague. She knows what she has to do, but there’s no certainty about the exact gestures and postures. So Anissa takes out her phone and opens her Microlearning course.
Concrete results
The results speak for themselves. Thanks to Microlearning, Anissa’s retention rate is now 80%, compared with only 10% without this method. In just six months, Anissa’s musculoskeletal problems have been eliminated, to the complete satisfaction of her manager.
Thanks to this innovative approach, Anissa’s manager will be turning to you again when she needs training in the future.
For you, this improvement in the post-training course will have taken you less than an hour to create and will have cost you €24 per learner for 6 months’ access.
Conclusion: The future of training for carers
In conclusion, microlearning represents the future of training for carers. By offering a flexible, accessible and effective approach, this revolutionary method is transforming the learning experience of personal service professionals, while improving their skills and well-being at work.
