<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17198" src="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/I4PL-2024-sponsor-board-say-yeah-1080px.jpeg" alt="The I4PL printed sponsor board highlights a series of key sponsors, with about 25 sponsor logos, including Say Yeah, alongside the conference theme, &quot;Shake it up!&quot;." srcset="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/I4PL-2024-sponsor-board-say-yeah-1080px.jpeg 931w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/I4PL-2024-sponsor-board-say-yeah-1080px-300x228.jpeg 300w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/I4PL-2024-sponsor-board-say-yeah-1080px-768x585.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 931px) 100vw, 931px" /></p>
<p>Say Yeah was excited to participate as a sponsor, offering a suite of technology to accelerate learning transfer through scenario-based, data-driven learning programs. Sharing our handy Say Yeah notebook with every conference attendee, we know we packed ours with exceptional insights from a series of informative and inspiring conference sessions. We’re eager to share some of these insights with you.</p>
<hr />
<h2>I4PL 2024 conference takeaways</h2>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17200" src="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/I4PL-2024-main-stage-setting-1600px-compressed.jpeg" alt="The main stage room at I4PL boasted over 30 roundtables with engaged attendees focused on the keynote stage and interactive presentations." srcset="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/I4PL-2024-main-stage-setting-1600px-compressed.jpeg 1600w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/I4PL-2024-main-stage-setting-1600px-compressed-300x152.jpeg 300w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/I4PL-2024-main-stage-setting-1600px-compressed-1024x520.jpeg 1024w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/I4PL-2024-main-stage-setting-1600px-compressed-768x390.jpeg 768w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/I4PL-2024-main-stage-setting-1600px-compressed-1536x780.jpeg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s check out the key takeaways along the following themes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tracking behaviour change</li>
<li>Trends driving learning innovation</li>
<li>Authentic learning with measurable results</li>
<li>The future of L&amp;D</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h3>Tracking behaviour change</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisjrtaylor/">Chris Taylor’s</a> standout session emphasized how we can use technology to bridge learning and business goals by going well beyond evaluating knowledge retention and participant satisfaction. Chris shared a series of models that culminate in tracking corollaries to behaviour change early in order to ensure pathways to business impact.</p>
<p>This jam-packed session was full of insights that aligned with our own approach to <a href="https://sayyeah.com/digital-insights/ai-elearning-personalization/">personalizing learning for greater impact</a> and <a href="https://sayyeah.com/digital-insights/boost-elearning-roi/">maximizing digital learning ROI</a>.</p>
<p>Here are a few key insights:</p>
<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f511.png" alt="🔑" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> For every 1 part of content that is introduced, 3 parts contextualization are needed. For example:</p>
<ul>
<li>10 minutes of content = 30 minutes of discussion and reflection</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f511.png" alt="🔑" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> The goal of behaviour change needs to be embedded in all aspects of training programs. This starts with asking participants: What is one thing that you can put into practice that will make the biggest difference in your work?</p>
<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f511.png" alt="🔑" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Learning happens through interactions with colleagues, regular check-ins, and accountability partners.</p>
<div class="fill:pale-grey p:16 mb:24"><strong>Remember:</strong> A community of practice is critical to the most impactful learning programs.</div>
<hr />
<h3>Trends driving learning innovation</h3>
<p>The pandemic reshaped training delivery—and it’s sticking. With 70% of organizations conducting less than 25% of their training in-person, digital transformation is here to stay.</p>
<p>Organizations know they have skills gaps in areas of digital transformation: 74% say they do—we’re inclined to believe the remaining 26% are in denial. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>Interestingly, the priority remains on training soft skills over growing digital excellence.</p>
<p>AI dominated the conference floor, with vendors showcasing tools to personalize and enhance learning experiences.</p>
<p>Personalization for every learner continues to top the list of priorities, helping participants engage more deeply with tailored content.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Authentic learning with measurable results</h3>
<p>A session from TD Wealth by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/randysabourin/">Randy Sabourin</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/courtney-appleby-cfp%C2%AE-cim%C2%AE-fcsi%C2%AE-6557a840/">Courtney Appleby</a> highlighted the importance of upfront research, strategic planning, and measurable outcomes.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17199" src="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/I4PL-2024-deliberate-practice-model-1080px-compressed.jpeg" alt="This slide highlights the key spokes of the deliberate practice wheel, including: interleaved skills, person-to-person learning, interval reinforcement, realistic context, safe practice, real-time interactive engagements, coaching &amp; emotional feedback, and measured skills." srcset="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/I4PL-2024-deliberate-practice-model-1080px-compressed.jpeg 1080w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/I4PL-2024-deliberate-practice-model-1080px-compressed-300x225.jpeg 300w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/I4PL-2024-deliberate-practice-model-1080px-compressed-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/I4PL-2024-deliberate-practice-model-1080px-compressed-768x576.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></p>
<p>Key highlights:</p>
<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f511.png" alt="🔑" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Use clear rubrics and coaching to normalize feedback across teams with multiple facilitators.</p>
<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f511.png" alt="🔑" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Create opportunities for immediate practice and feedback, with 1:1 practice sessions with a colleague, facilitator, or subject matter expert, not group role-playing.</p>
<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f511.png" alt="🔑" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Design “bring your own challenge” scenarios for practical, real-world learning.</p>
<div class="fill:pale-grey p:16 mb:24"><strong>Remember:</strong> Practice scenarios 1:1, not with group role-playing.</div>
<hr />
<h3>The future of L&amp;D</h3>
<p>A keynote by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/danpontefract/">Dan Pontefract</a> reminded us that L&amp;D is more than a function—it’s a fulcrum for workplace transformation. By integrating tools like AI and fostering empathetic, human-first training, L&amp;D professionals can act as <strong>human performance change agents</strong>. This call to action sets an inspiring path for 2025!</p>
<hr />
<h2>A successful and inspiring I4PL 2024 conference!</h2>
<p>The conference was a strong reminder that L&amp;D isn’t just about delivering content—it’s about designing experiences that inspire action, change, and growth.</p>
<p>We’re inspired to integrate these ideas into our own work and help others leverage human-centred learning technology to make a measurable business impact with their training programs.</p>

We’re passionate about turning technological insights and tools into real learning impact. This year’s conference theme—Shake It Up!—is the perfect prompt to think about the untapped potential we can unlock when training programs responsibly leverage digital tools, AI, and data. When we move beyond traditional methods and embrace scenario-based, data-driven learning, we accellerate learning transfer, ultimately leading to improved workplace performance. And that&#8217;s why we&#8217;re pleased to be sponsoring this years conference.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For all those course creators out there, we’re excited to share a new tool with you that will help make your Articulate Rise courses even more immersive, accessible, interactive, and engaging. Say Yeah developed Rise &#038; Shine to magically bring courses to life with immersive audio and add flexibility for learners and course managers.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://sayyeah.com/glossary/#rise-by-articulate">Articulate Rise</a> web-based authoring tool has been a boon to course creators looking to build interactive, mobile-friendly online courses without deep technical skills.</p>
<p>Rise already does so many things well—from allowing for responsive design to incorporating interactive content blocks—but there are clear opportunities to improve accessibility, flexibility, and engagement. We’ve taken Rise to the next level by creating an add-on that lets users listen to the content immersively as they engage with media and interactive content, while allowing course managers to easily update content on an ongoing basis.</p>

<p>Trust us, it’s cool. <a href="/shine/content/rise/">Get a feel for Rise &amp; Shine</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Let’s explore what Shine is and how it can provide a better user experience for your learners.</strong></p>
<hr />
<h2>Shine makes every Rise course more engaging and accessible</h2>
<p>No question, Rise is a great tool for course creators, but there are a number of out-of-the-box constraints for learners. The model of Rise courses is a slide-show style standard that’s augmented by an overreliance on animation that isn’t as immersive, flexible, or comfortable for every learner as it should be.</p>
<p>To address this, we created an immersive read-along narration that works with all standard Rise elements across a course. Easy to setup and seamless to update, courses become more immersive, flexible, and accessible for every learner.</p>
<p>Here’s how it works.</p>
<h3>Automatic integration into existing content</h3>
<p>Shine automatically syncs its narration—not only with text-based content, but with interactive Rise blocks too—as learners are guided through the course. This includes headings, quotes, images, lists, and more. The add-on requires no additional technical set-up—making enhancing existing courses quick and simple, and easy to update if you need to make any changes to course content.</p>
<h3>Customization options</h3>
<p>Learners have different preferences as to how they engage with course content. Shine empowers every learner to choose the path that best suits them. Each learner can control and adjust the speed of spoken content, while automatically scrolling through the text to create an immersive, hands-free learner experience.</p>
<p>You get to choose from multiple voices to match the tone of the course and adjust settings for more accessible text sizes, voice integration, and animations.</p>
<h3>Enhanced interactivity</h3>
<p>Shine makes spoken playback more engaging by automatically incorporating visual elements like tabs, accordions, and flash cards provided by standard Rise blocks.</p>
<p>Learners can also follow the narrated content while simultaneously interacting with multimedia elements, such as videos, quizzes, and clickable scenarios.</p>
<p>And audio prompts remind learners when their input is needed for assessments or other types of engagements, ensuring everyone gets to experience the full, expanded, and immersive learning experience of Rise &amp; Shine.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17241" src="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/rise-and-shine-interface-screenshot-showing-the-audio-controls.jpg" alt="A Rise Course interface showing the audio controls enabled by Shine" srcset="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/rise-and-shine-interface-screenshot-showing-the-audio-controls.jpg 1080w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/rise-and-shine-interface-screenshot-showing-the-audio-controls-300x208.jpg 300w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/rise-and-shine-interface-screenshot-showing-the-audio-controls-1024x709.jpg 1024w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/rise-and-shine-interface-screenshot-showing-the-audio-controls-768x532.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></p>

<h3>Compatibility</h3>
<p>Shine is compatible across all devices and platforms. Whether learners access a course on a desktop, tablet, or mobile device, the narration will function smoothly, providing a consistent and seamless learning experience. Simply put: Shine works where Rise works, augmenting your Rise courses wherever they’re accessed.</p>

</div>
<hr />
<h2>Let’s highlight Shine’s benefits for learners</h2>
<h3>Improved accessibility</h3>
<p>Shine makes Rise courses even more accessible by allowing learners with visual impairments, reading difficulties, or other specific learning needs more options for how they access and engage with the course content.</p>
<h3>Increased engagement</h3>
<p>Shine not only adds greater interactivity to courses, it also creates a multi-sensory experience that can help clarify complex ideas and reinforce key points.</p>
<h3>A more flexible learning experience</h3>
<p>Shine makes it easy for learners to access their online courses on any device, whether at home, work, class, or on a commute, while tailoring the learning experience to their preferences.</p>
<hr />
<h2>How does Rise &amp; Shine work?</h2>
<p>Unlocking these benefits couldn’t be easier.</p>
<p>You simply take your Rise course package, drop it into Shine, choose a voice, and let the magic happen. You then take your Shined Rise package, publish it as you usually do, and you’re done!</p>
<h3>Need to make changes?</h3>
<p>No trouble! Update your course content in Rise and drop the latest version back into Shine. Shine will automatically update all the audio based on the latest course content and you’ll get your latest Shined Rise package back.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>We were excited to attend this year&#8217;s Training Industry Strategy Summit 2024!</h2>
<h2>Here&#8217;s what we learned.</h2>
<p>The <a href="https://trainingindustry.com/training-industry-strategy-summit/">Training Industry Strategy Summit</a>, held online September 25-26, 2024, brought together thought leaders, innovators, and training professionals to share insights and explore the future of the industry.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-17146 size-full" src="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Strategy-Summit-19-Summit-Evergreen_Web-1920x1080-1-1536x864-1.jpg" alt="Contains the logo for the Training Industry Strategy Summit" srcset="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Strategy-Summit-19-Summit-Evergreen_Web-1920x1080-1-1536x864-1.jpg 1536w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Strategy-Summit-19-Summit-Evergreen_Web-1920x1080-1-1536x864-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Strategy-Summit-19-Summit-Evergreen_Web-1920x1080-1-1536x864-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Strategy-Summit-19-Summit-Evergreen_Web-1920x1080-1-1536x864-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px" /></p>
<p>With so many shifts happening in the world of Learning and Development (L&amp;D), this event provided an information and engaging exploration into where the future of training is headed and what businesses need to realize performane gains from L&amp;D.</p>
<p>There were far too many great presentations to recap—and to attend! There was a one-hour interval where we were debating between three different sessions, but here’s a few representative takeaways from across the following themes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Training in the flow of work</li>
<li>Changing priorities in Learning and Development</li>
<li>Measuring training impact</li>
<li>Where AI fits into training</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h2>Training in the flow of work</h2>
<p>One of the key takeaways was the growing need for training in the flow of work—making learning available when it’s needed. With employees juggling multiple responsibilities and tight deadlines, self-directed learning is becoming more important. Whether it’s on-demand microlearning or an AI-powered coach, training that fits seamlessly into day-to-day tasks allows employees to upskill in real-time, boosting both efficiency and retention.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Changing priorities in Learning and Development</h2>
<p>The summit also shed light on the evolving priorities within L&amp;D.</p>
<p>As technology continues to advance and workplace models shift, companies are focusing on building capability through upskilling and digital transformation. This, combined with the increasing use of AI, means there’s potential for a more streamlined, tech-driven approach to training.</p>
<p>However, we’re also seeing a strategic reduction in L&amp;D staff, pushing organizations to rethink how they deliver training. With fewer people available to facilitate, methods that incorporate digital tools and automation are becoming essential to maintaining effectiveness.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Measuring training impact</h2>
<p>To ensure that L&amp;D efforts are truly impactful, companies must use both quantitative and qualitative data to validate their training initiatives.</p>
<p>Training programs must align with business objectives so organizations can see real results—not just in learning outcomes but in overall business performance.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Where AI fits into training</h2>
<p>AI was a hot topic throughout the summit, particularly in terms of personalizing training pathways.</p>
<p>AI-driven solutions can adapt content to different roles, scenarios, and specific audiences, allowing businesses to extend core training with contextual content tailored to particular roles or situations.</p>
<p>This level of personalization makes learning more relevant and engaging, driving better outcomes for both employees and organizations.</p>

<hr />
<h2>Thanks to all the great people we met at Training Industry Strategy Summit 2024!</h2>
<p>In addition to the insightful sessions, the Training Industry Strategy Summit 2024 was a fantastic opportunity to network with other L&amp;D professionals.</p>

<p>
  </div>
</div>
<p><strong>Much of this work is driven by English-language business.</strong> So much so that organizations we’ve worked with in South America, the Middle East, and South Asia have asked us to focus on English-language training for their staff and students.</p>
<p>The intention behind this English-first approach is to grow capacity and capability in doing business globally, but the result can make onboarding, upskilling, and collaboration more difficult.</p>
<p>Through our ongoing research and practice at Say Yeah, we asked: <strong>how might we improve how language is incorporated in learning programs to better enable a global and diverse workforce?</strong></p>
<div class="fill:pale-grey p:16 mb:24">The answer isn’t to provide distinct courses for each language.<strong>Instead, we need to integrate multiple languages into a single course to help forge new pathways that elevate learning and collaboration.</strong></p>
</div>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at how this works.</p>
<hr />
<p>Getting started with an English-language course is common across the globe. In the examples that follow, we&#8217;ll reference our Practical Inclusive Design course.</p>
<p>One of the key considerations (and gaps we see across courses) is that, while new terms are consistently introduced to learners throughout a course, there’s no easy way to gather or reference those terms.</p>
<p><strong>A Glossary should be standard across all courses.</strong></p>
<div class="w:5u@sm w:6u@md float:right@sm mr:-64@md pl:32@sm pb:32@sm">
<p><img class="wp-image-17085" src="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-glossary-inclusive-design-index-highlight@2x.png" alt="An index of Say Yeah's Inclusive Design glossary, highlighting keywords such as ableism, allyship, anti-racism, and more." srcset="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-glossary-inclusive-design-index-highlight@2x.png 1700w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-glossary-inclusive-design-index-highlight@2x-300x194.png 300w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-glossary-inclusive-design-index-highlight@2x-1024x663.png 1024w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-glossary-inclusive-design-index-highlight@2x-768x497.png 768w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-glossary-inclusive-design-index-highlight@2x-1536x994.png 1536w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-glossary-inclusive-design-index-highlight@2x-1600x1035.png 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1700px) 100vw, 1700px" /></p>
</div>
<p>A Glossary is a central reference for learners to jog their memory related to key topical terms. And it allows for so much more.</p>
<p>In addition to gathering key terms related to a course topic, we can move beyond the written word to incorporate audio. This helps learners not just see and spell a word, but also incorporate it into their vocabulary with confidence, whether reading, writing, or speaking.</p>
<p>Better still, we can expand the capabilities of a glossary to include the most common languages spoken in a region, workplace, or with global partners. In our course example, we’ve included English, French, Spanish, and Arabic.</p>
<p><img class="wp-image-17075" src="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-inclusive-design-course-glossary-diversity@2x.png" alt="An example glossary term for the word Diversity, including a button to listen to the term, a definition, and additional audio and written translations for French, Spanish, and Arabic." srcset="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-inclusive-design-course-glossary-diversity@2x.png 1600w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-inclusive-design-course-glossary-diversity@2x-300x210.png 300w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-inclusive-design-course-glossary-diversity@2x-1024x716.png 1024w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-inclusive-design-course-glossary-diversity@2x-768x537.png 768w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-inclusive-design-course-glossary-diversity@2x-1536x1074.png 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /></p>
<p>You can easily add more languages that may be relevant to your workforce or group of learners.</p>
<p>Now you can prepare for a discussion with a colleague who speaks another language by reading and listening to those keywords relevant to your conversation in their native language.</p>
<p>And there’s more.</p>
<hr />
<div class="w:5u@sm w:6u@md float:right@sm mr:-64@md pl:32@sm pb:32@sm">
<p><img class="wp-image-17078" src="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-elearning-inline-glossary-term@2x.png" alt="An inline glossary term overlay showing that selecting a keyword in a course shows a preview definition as well as options to listen and read the term in multiple languages." srcset="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-elearning-inline-glossary-term@2x.png 820w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-elearning-inline-glossary-term@2x-183x300.png 183w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-elearning-inline-glossary-term@2x-624x1024.png 624w, https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/say-yeah-elearning-inline-glossary-term@2x-768x1261.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px" /></p>
</div>
<p>The foundation of the glossary allows for new integrated multi-lingual references across an entire course. Consider when you’re working through a new course, coming across new terms.</p>
<p>On any page of a course, the terms you may not be familiar with are highlighted. By clicking on the term, not only do you see the definition in the language of the course, but you can hear how this word sounds.</p>
<p>If you’re new to English, you can see the word in your native language to help you make the connection to this new English term.</p>
<p>Or, if you’re collaborating with a colleague who prefers a language other than English, you can review the word in their language and join them in conversation.</p>
<hr />
<p>This kind of integrated multi-lingual learning is a natural evolution for eLearning that we can help you provide, whether integrating these capabilities within your existing eLearning authoring tools or helping you get started.</p>
<p>Get in touch today to talk about how we can help your entire organization learn and work smarter.</p>

<p>There’s a fundamental challenge with learning where most courses—whether online, hybrid, in a classroom, or led by a workplace trainer—follow a single, typically lecture-based model.</p>
<p><strong>One course, delivered one way, for everyone.</strong></p>
<p>The challenge is, people learn in different ways. And this single model or format for delivering a course doesn’t help everyone learn and grow with confidence.</p>
<p>That’s a problem for workplace preparedness and development, where success is measured by growing the capacity and capability of everyone on a team.</p>
<p>To address this, we’ve developed a software framework that helps you deliver next-generation learning programs to everyone, whether you’re launching a brand new course, or working with an existing LMS or HRIS system.</p>
<blockquote><p>I’d like to share with you a transformative shift in eLearning that celebrates and supports every learner, giving them the options they need to engage more effectively with course content in order to move from knowledge to action in their day-to-day work. ~ Say Yeah CEO, Lee Dale</p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<hr />
<p>When we develop a course together, we combine course content best practices with the latest AI-powered eLearning automations to quickly and easily expand single-track learning to <strong>allow people to watch, listen, or read a course</strong>.</p>

<p>Included is the ability for every learning to adjust the settings to their ideal:</p>
<ul>
<li>Auto advance to the next lesson to keep the course material flowing.</li>
<li>Scroll with spoken text and have the video move along with you. The video anchors in the corner and the screen scrolls to the text that’s being spoken.</li>
<li>Highlight spoken text so you can follow along with the narration even more closely.</li>
</ul>
<p>The settings are designed to support multiple learning modes so every learner can work through the course in a way that works best for them, with the flexibility to adjust at any time.</p>

<hr />
<p>From AI to machine learning in the workplace, digital transformation has opened up exciting new possibilities to drive economic growth. But when you consider Canada&#8217;s declining economic growth, we risk missing out on the potential benefits of our ongoing digital transformation.</p>
<p>Now more than ever, Canada needs a workforce that can adapt to and operate within a rapidly changing technology environment. Building these competencies will require a culture of lifelong learning that spans academia and the workplace. As Canada looks to the future, <a href="https://sayyeah.com/digital-insights/improved-online-learning/">eLearning</a> is a pillar upon which to build the workforce to power a healthy, sustainable, and growing economy.</p>
<p>In a new op-ed published on <a href="https://thefutureeconomy.ca/op-eds/elearning-digital-economy-lee-dale-say-yeah/">TheFutureEconomy.ca</a>, Say Yeah CEO Lee Dale delves into how embracing lifelong learning facilitated by eLearning at <a href="https://sayyeah.com/digital-insights/deliver-accessible-online-courses/">institutional</a> and corporate levels can set us on a better path toward global economic prosperity.</p>
<div class='image-with-caption'><img class="wp-image-16929 size-full" src="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Lee-Dale-LinkedIn-1.jpg" alt="Say Yeah CEO Lee Dale on LinkedIn posted about his op-ed on theFutureEconomy.Ca. The caption reads: For too long, Canada's economy has lagged on the global stage. But as the world shifts towards an accelerating digital economy, driven by automation and AI, we have a clear path to competitiveness: upskilling our workforce. On this International Day of Education, check out my article on how eLearning sets the most effective path to closing Canada's skills gap at TheFutureEconomy.ca.

<h2>Key highlights</h2>
<p>Canadian workplaces need to become hubs for innovation and collective growth. How do we do this?</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Take action on diversity:</strong> A large demographic of skilled Canadians remain chronically unhired. As a result, Canada is missing out on a <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7155964169387659264">rich diversity of thought and perspectives</a>, which could open up <a href="https://sayyeah.com/digital-insights/roi-inclusive-design/">diverse markets</a> and power up innovation.</li>
<li><strong>Get the ball rolling on eLearning:</strong> <a href="https://sayyeah.com/digital-insights/boost-elearning-roi/">Effective eLearning</a> is a critical part of supporting and scaling a productive learning ecosystem across organizations.</li>
</ol>
<p>By embracing new opportunities and implementing best practices across technology, academia, business, and government, Canada can close its widening skills gap and position itself as a global leader, all while nurturing the next generation of innovators.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An effective Learning and Development strategy is an essential part of any successful business’s toolkit. Today, as organizations weather market volatility, an increasingly competitive job market, technological shifts, and other challenges, it’s become a key differentiator.</p>
<p>With an estimated <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/people-and-organizational-performance/our-insights/the-state-of-organizations-2023?cid=soc-web">50% of employees requiring reskilling by 2025</a>, businesses that offer training and upskilling opportunities own a significant competitive advantage.</p>
<p>In this environment,<a href="https://thefutureeconomy.ca/op-eds/elearning-digital-economy-lee-dale-say-yeah/"> the digital transformation of employee training through eLearning</a> is a game changer. From onboarding to reskilling, online learning saves companies time and money, and has the potential to revolutionize the way we work and learn.</p>
<p>Effective and scalable eLearning gives your workforce the skills and capacity to adapt, innovate, and drive business growth to meet the challenges and opportunities of evolving global trends. However, unlocking the transformational aspects of going digital requires a shift of mindset. It starts with understanding key aspects unique to the digital learning experience.</p>
<div class="fill:pale-grey p:16 mb:24">
<p><strong>Maximizing eLearning ROI and performance</strong></p>
<p>Your company can optimize and boost its eLearning ROI through these three strategies:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="#DEI">Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)</a></li>
<li><a href="#accessibility">User experience and accessibility</a></li>
<li><a href="#instructional-design">Digital instructional design principles</a></li>
</ol>
</div>
<hr />
<h2 id="DEI">Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)</h2>
<p>Effective <a href="https://sayyeah.com/glossary/category/online-education/">eLearning</a> incorporates principles of DEI by creating a sense of belonging for all course participants and helping them connect more deeply to the learning content. This not only improves the quality and effectiveness of employee training programs but can have a significant impact across your business.</p>
<h4>Advantages of integrating DEI into your training program</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Increased profits.</strong> Companies without a DEI strategy or with an ineffective one are 27% less likely to be profitable compared to their peers. Bringing this practice to your training programs helps set the tone across your organization.</li>
<li><strong>Employee retention</strong>. Creating workplace environments that value the unique perspectives of employees reduces turnover. Demonstrating that you value your diverse employees through your training program content helps set this standard for every employee.</li>
<li><strong>Greater and more inspired innovation</strong>. Employees are more likely to innovate when they are empowered to bring their own ideas and worldviews to their work. Delivering improved, more inclusive training helps every employee grow their capacity and capability to innovate.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p><em>When inclusion flourishes, it permeates the whole work environment. It enables everyone to succeed, and it leaves no one out. </em>It has a positive impact on people&#8217;s desire to work for an organization and how productive they are, the quality of decision making, customer relations, innovation, revenues, and reputations. ~ <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebekah-steele-4937059/">Rebekah Steele, </a><a href="https://indivisible-book.com/">INdivisible, 2020</a></p></blockquote>
<h4>How to leverage DEI to enrich your corporate learning programs</h4>
<p>Championing DEI in learning involves engaging learners on a deeper level, for example, by:</p>
<ul>
<li>encouraging employees to bring their rich perspectives and realities to their learning experiences</li>
<li>empowering employees to <a href="https://doi.org/10.14742/ajet.1822">broaden their perspectives and innovate solutions for diverse markets</a></li>
<li>exploring creative ways to promote DEI in organizational processes and practices</li>
</ul>
<p>To achieve these objectives, digital learning programs can be made more accessible and inclusive through the following tactics.</p>
<div class="w:5u@sm w:6u@md float:right@sm mr:-64@md pl:32@sm pb:32@sm">
<div class='image-with-caption'><img class="wp-image-16842 size-full" src="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Inclusive-Writing-Guide-Client-Demo-@2x.png" alt="A screenshot of the table of contents of an inclusive writing guide the Say Yeah team created to help a health services client be inclusive in serving their diverse market base, highlighting 12 key approaches to writing more inclusively and considerately." /><div class='caption'> Snapshot from an organizational training module on inclusive writing guidelines that we created for a client offering health support services for a diverse group of clients. We designed this custom writing guide to support their capacity to be inclusive in serving their market base. These kinds of writing considerations can be applied to any training program content and extend to any content developed by your organization.</div></div>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Ensure the stock images, videos, and illustrations used in a course reflect the diverse identities, backgrounds, and roles in your company.</li>
<li>Use simple, clear, and inclusive language that everyone can easily understand and relate to. We recommend creating a company-wide inclusive writing framework that can be customized for each department.</li>
<li>Incorporate video translations to serve a multilingual market. For Canadian organizations, consider French, <a href="https://cad-asc.ca/our-work/official-languages-asl-and-lsq/">American Sign Language (ASL), and Langue des Signes Quebecoise (LSQ)</a>. US organizations may prioritize Spanish and ASL.</li>
<li>Give learners agency by providing a balanced mix of audio, text, images, and videos.</li>
<li>Evaluate content for bias and preconceived assumptions about the employees and any other course participants. Are there options for flexibility in the learning program? Do all employees have access to resources and requirements to take the course?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Put learners at the centre of your training programs and watch them flourish.</strong></p>
<hr />
<h2 id="accessibility">User experience (UX) and accessibility</h2>
<p>Today’s employees have high expectations of their online experiences and interfaces, and that includes your eLearning offerings. <a href="https://sayyeah.com/digital-insights/flexible-online-learning-models/">Leveraging the convenience and flexibility of eLearning</a> requires expertise in designing a user experience that helps ensure employees can retain and connect new knowledge to their work.</p>
<p>Complicated learning software features, unfamiliar navigation controls, and disorganized course interfaces and content structure on <a href="https://sayyeah.com/glossary/category/online-education/#lms">learning management systems</a> (LMSs) can make content inaccessible and difficult to understand.</p>
<h4>Drawbacks of poor UX design</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Low learning engagement</strong>. Learners disengage when navigating poorly designed interfaces.</li>
<li><strong>Poor knowledge retention.</strong> Employees can’t assess their knowledge and retain information if the course interface and structure are not accessible, organized, and responsive.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How to enhance UX and accessibility to maximize eLearning ROI</h4>
<div class="w:5u@sm w:6u@md float:right@sm mr:-64@md pl:32@sm pb:32@sm">
<div class='image-with-caption'><img class="size-full wp-image-16856" src="https://insights.sayyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/GBC-UDL-hotspot-@2x.jpg" alt="" /><div class='caption'> Screenshot from a case study demonstrating user experience-led features we developed for George Brown College. <a href="https://sayyeah.com/case-study/gbc-udl/">Read the case study here.</a></div></div>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Ensure consistency in content flow, navigation controls, and design elements. (Leading with people-centred design allowed us to build a flexible and accessible eLearning program for <a href="https://sayyeah.com/case-study/gbc-udl/">George Brown College</a> that is now being used across Ontario higher education institutions.)</li>
<li>Make the course more flexible by providing access via multiple screen sizes and devices. It’s helpful to adapt the course to fit the needs of employees who prefer to learn on their smartphones and mobile devices.</li>
<li>Tailor the interactions and activities to give choice and agency to the learners. For instance, you may want to incorporate features such as resource aids, personalized <strong>reflection activities,</strong> and <strong>scenario-based</strong> assessments to enable course participants to put their learning into practice.</li>
<li>Deliver similar content in multiple formats—from <strong>text</strong> to<strong> images</strong>, <strong>quotes</strong>, and <strong>videos—</strong>to improve accessibility and enable participants to engage with content in more than one way and support the diverse learning preferences of each of your learners.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h2 id="instructional-design">Digital instructional design principles</h2>
<p>Instructional design is different from UX design in eLearning, although they work hand in hand. Instructional design focuses on how people learn and how to transform subject matter content into a learning product. UX design then leverages instructional design to ensure the course material translates seamlessly on an LMS platform and is usable, scalable, effective, and accessible to all course participants.</p>
<h4>Business impacts of incorporating instructional design principles into corporate training</h4>
<p>Implementing instructional design principles in your training programs benefits your employees and organization, improving eLearning ROI in the following ways:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Enhanced productivity and engagement</strong>. From onboarding to reskilling, effective learning programs empower people with the skills to become more effective at their jobs, which leads to increased efficiency and productivity.</li>
<li><strong>Improved retention.</strong> A 2023 Work Institute report analyzing employee retention complexities shows that professional development is a leading reason people resign. Learner-centred training programs help address this by opening up ways for employees to add value and impact to the business while pursuing self-improvement.</li>
<li><strong>Saved costs.</strong> It costs more to hire new employees than to train and reskill existing ones. Improving retention through people-focused professional development programs will save you time and money while adding to your bottom line.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<p>Investing in learning helps establish a <a href="https://thefutureeconomy.ca/op-eds/elearning-digital-economy-lee-dale-say-yeah/">critical competitive advantage</a>—and eLearning designed with a focus on DEI, UX, and instructional design will give your organization a chance to realize this advantage in terms of hiring, employee retention, and performance.</p>
<p><strong>Start the discussion about eLearning ROI with your learning and training team by asking the following questions:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Is there more we could be doing to make our eLearning programs inclusive, accessible, and effective for all employees?</li>
<li>Are we creating opportunities for learners to apply new knowledge and skills in their work?</li>
<li>How are we leveraging the latest eLearning practices to improve retention and productivity?</li>
</ul>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learning and development is a key part of growing a business, but in order to be effective, and to earn buy-in from organizational leadership, it must be strategically aligned with larger business goals.
