Making Learning Stick with Job Aids #486: Challenge | Recap
If there’s one surefire way to help your learners succeed—before, during, and after training—is by giving them effective job aids. Job aids are like cheat sheets for success. They can be anything from checklists and quick-reference guides to summaries, glossaries, FAQs, or worksheets.
They’re simple. They’re practical. And they work. They help learners remember what they’ve learned and use it when they need it most. It’s all about making learning stick. And that’s what this week’s challenge is all about.
🏆 E-Learning Challenge of the Week
This week’s e-learning challenge is to create a performance support tool, such as a worksheet, job aid, or another resource that helps learners apply what they’ve learned in an e-learning course. You can build it around an existing project or create something entirely new.
