How to Engage an Isolated and Remote Workforce with Collaborative Learning

People tend to learn from one another. Whether it is a “how-to” from someone who has done it before, a recommendation from someone they trust, or even an opportunity to work on solving a problem together, people are learning from each other all day, every day. So why does the corporate learning approach seem to ignore this entirely?

The modern learning environment within organizations must recognize, embrace and facilitate collaborative efforts in learning. This has never been as important as right now, when many people are feeling more isolated than ever as they work remotely. Brandon Hall Group’s research finds that employees feeling less connected is one of the top five reasons for productivity loss among remote workers. If companies want learning to engage people and drive results, they have to use the tools that enable collaboration to thrive.

Join David Wentworth, Principal Analyst with Brandon Hall Group, and Lars Hyland, Chief Learning Officer with Totara, as they explore the impact that collaboration can have on learning and the organization overall.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• The disrupting effects of COVID-19 that are transforming the workplace
• The role of collaborative learning in remote work
• Collaboration in content creation and curation
• Strategies for booting and sustaining collaboration
• Examples of collaborative learning in action
