10 tips for effective training design for millennials

And now you can learn in record time how to design effective and attractive training for millennials:

1. Training must be mobile or accessible anywhere and on every conceivable device such as smartphones and tablets, laptops and desktops.
2. Use small content nuggets (keyword: microlearning) to promote entertaining learning that is also fun.
3. Use videos and offer learning nuggets with effective media formats (e.g. quizzes/interactive learning paths) to encourage interaction with the content.
4. Ensure that all content such as videos, text sequences, interactive web pages, PDFs, etc. are available and easily accessible at all times within the usual workflow.
5. Clarify clearly defined learning objectives in advance that meet the needs of learners - millennials want to know what to expect beforehand.
6. Incorporate social and collaborative learning sequences into your training.
7. Engage learners through gamification . This gives them a sense of reward and recognition when they go through or complete the training.
8. Individualize learning to give learners the flexibility to consume exactly the content that is relevant instead of having to repeat what they have already learned - for example, use individual learning paths.
9. Create space for learner contributions through content curation and promote integrative learning.
10. Personalize the learning experience as much as possible. Addressing learners directly and putting together content individually for them inspires millennials much more than the one-fits-all approach.
