Encouraging Self-directed Learning in Your Online Learning Environment
Help learners drive their professional growth.
Jeremy "JT" Tuttle, Director of Learning Design at Niche Academy, helps you define self-direct learning, identify barriers, and make changes so that learners can drive their professional growth.
Imagine something that interests you. It could be crochet, cars, football, or gardening. Anything that you will happily spend hours learning about. Now, imagine you could only learn about that interest from one person…once a month…for one hour at a time. Would you still be interested in that thing?
Training is so often constrained—by time, location, or presenters—that some learners expect it to only happen when they're told to show up. But what if they were able to learn about what they want at a time of their choosing? Your learners could be driving their own growth!
Join Jeremy (JT) Tuttle for this webinar to help you define self-directed learning, identify barriers within your online learning environment, and make changes so that learners can drive their professional growth.
By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:
- Define self-directed learning
- Identify barriers to self-direct learning
- Configure your academy to promote self-directed learning
This session is a democast: JT will show how to input learning objectives in the Niche Academy platform and the best features to assess learner progress toward those objectives.
