Since the <strong>\u201ctechnicality\u201d<\/strong> of policies and procedures are relatively verbose in nature, the focus of such activities is to<strong> \u201cLearn by showing\u201d.<\/strong> Course designers use lots of examples, use cases, and hypothetical scenarios to illustrate the application of the new policies and procedures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>On the other hand, when a company introduces a new online Accounting system<\/strong> or launches a highly automated production line<strong>,<\/strong> the \u201ctechnicalities\u201d are far more hands-on in nature, requiring a far different approach to interactive technical training. Such training requires a \u201cShow, Do, Practice\u201d approach to achieve its objectives.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Some real-life training applications of the term \u201ctechnical\u201d might be subtle to recognize.<\/strong> However, understanding them is paramount if we are to succeed in designing effective content on technical training topics for employees in a commercial setting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Theory Behind Interactive Technical Training<\/h2>\n<p>One of the pioneers of the application of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/2017\/04\/how-facilitate-technical-learning-employees-customers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>technical learning<\/strong><\/a>, in business and commercial settings, is Dr. Ruth Clark, a leading expert in workforce learning and evidence-based performance improvement.<\/p>\n<p>D<strong>r. Clark has advanced a series of 6 principles that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/2017\/06\/best-instructional-design-books.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">instructional designers<\/a> should keep in mind<\/strong> when designing interactive technical training for employees.<\/p>\n<p>The essence of these principles give technical content designers an insight into balancing the use of text, graphics, audio, video and other design elements to produce highly effective technical training courses:<\/p>\n<h3>1) The Multimedia Principle: Supplementing text with graphics to enhance learning<\/h3>\n<p>While the text is a great medium of expression,<strong> most interactive technical training program development calls for the use of appropriate multimedia components.<\/strong> The word \u201cappropriate\u201d is the key here! For instance, simply filling a screen with lists of features and functionality of a Sales Tracking software tool isn\u2019t appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, supplement that with graphical simulations of the entire sales process to enhance the impact of the text on your learners.<\/p>\n<h3>2) The Contiguity Principle: Synchronizing text and graphics<\/h3>\n<p>When using interactive technical training modules to teach new concepts, such as a new way to close a sales loop, it\u2019s most effective to have learners watch, see and hear (multimedia) everything related to what they are reading (text). However, the content must be presented in a contiguous and related way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Designing non-contiguous content may mean learners are reading something<\/strong> (e.g. How to make a Sales Pitch) while watching graphics about something completely non-related (e.g. How to Log Sales Leads in the system). This is disconcerting and defeats the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/2017\/05\/how-set-measurable-learning-objectives-goals.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>learning objectives<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>3) The Modality Principle: Supplementing complex graphics with other learning modes<\/h3>\n<p>When designing interactive learning activities that involve multifaceted concepts, it\u2019s more effective to use other modalities \u2013 such as audio \u2013 to make learning more effective.For instance, a sales cycle is often long and complex, involving multiple steps.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, a sales cycle is often long and complex, involving multiple steps. <strong>Designing graphics for technical training topics for employees means the learner has to then focus 100% attention on the animation,<\/strong> which makes it difficult to also read the accompanying text at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>In such cases, adding audio to explain the graphics can be of great help.<\/p>\n<h3>4) The Redundancy Principle: Avoid the use of redundant modalities to prevent \u201coverload\u201d<\/h3>\n<p><strong>One of the more effective interactive technical training techniques is to provide multiple ways \u2013 animation, text, audio \u2013 for learners to grasp complex new concepts.<\/strong> However, this approach can sometimes lead to information redundancy.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if your graphics is about \u201cThe Art of Closing The Deal\u201d, it would be nice to supplement that graphic with additional textual content \u2013 to explain the nuances that graphics alone might not capture.<\/p>\n<p>However, this principle of effective interactive technical training program development suggests that it might be redundant to then also have verbatim audio narratives of the text. The audio will likely pose a distraction to the learner.<\/p>\n<h3>5) The Coherence Principle: Sometimes \u201cKISS\u201d is the best<\/h3>\n<p><strong>When it comes to interactive technical training, sometimes applying the KISS (Keep It Short and Simple) principle is best.<\/strong> The well-intended effort to teach salespeople \u201c1000 ways to log sales call\u201d may lead to making technical learning content in-coherent.<\/p>\n<p>Where possible, only provide text, graphics, audio, and other content that serves to enhance a learning experience. Avoid non-essential content that may pose a distraction to learning ability.<\/p>\n<h3>6) The Personalization Principle: Create content that learners can relate to<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Interactive technical training for employees becomes more effective when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/2017\/05\/active-learning-methods-engaged-corporate-learners.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">learners<\/a> relate to situations or scenarios being presented in the content.<\/strong> Where possible, therefore, introduce references and associations common to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/2016\/07\/reflective-practice-elearning.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>environment<\/strong><\/a> that the learner is familiar with.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, in an environment where such a role exists within the organization, using a familiar title (such as Sales Supervisor) to present content in graphical or animated sequence can psychologically help learners personalize their technical learning experience.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the use of 1st and 2nd person references help in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/2016\/04\/content-curation-for-elearning.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>personalizing your content<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Following these 6 principles, and incorporating these interactive technical training techniques when designing technical content can go a long way in<strong> developing courses that meet, and even exceed their training objectives.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6122\" src=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/EFRONT_20171010_1200x314.jpg\" alt=\"How to apply interactive technical training to business eLearning - eFront Blog\" width=\"1200\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/EFRONT_20171010_1200x314.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/EFRONT_20171010_1200x314-300x79.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/EFRONT_20171010_1200x314-768x201.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/EFRONT_20171010_1200x314-1024x268.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/EFRONT_20171010_1200x314-810x212.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/EFRONT_20171010_1200x314-1140x298.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Making a Difference &#8211; Balancing Theory and Practice<\/h2>\n<p>When faced with a project to develop content featuring specialized interactive learning activities, <strong>we approach the task the same way as we would when designing any other business or commercial training<\/strong>.
