Best Learning Programme Designs to utilise a mix of Learning Methods
We believe that people learn in
different ways and therefore the best learning programme designs utilise a mix
of learning methods. For this reason we have developed the following learning
methods to provide our clients with maximum choice. Consequently we believe The
HRD Group occupies a unique position within the UK 's training establishment.
All our training courses are underpinned by the
HRD Online training and HR Management system - using push learning technology
- to offer our clients a blended learning capability.
Use of this system
allows course participants to acquire kn
owledge
in accordance with their needs, and at a time and pace of their choosing prior
to workshop attendance - and subsequently to contextualise and consolidate the
workshop experience. This learning method enables classroom based learning to
be more effective and to progress at a faster rate. It also enables the tutor
and peer group to be much more focussed on behaviours, attitudes, perceptions
and skills development - workshops must achieve change!
HRD Online has
over 300 Business, Management and Personal Skills training courses. Each course
contains underpinning knowledge, attached internet pages for optional research,
exercises/studies, a content quiz for knowledge checking and a notepad, i.e. a
spread of learning methods. Course selection can be achieved via customisable
competencies using 360, self and assessor feedback. Personal Development Plans,
training results and Continuous Professional Development records are all produced.
All learning activity and training results are visible to authorised personnel.
HRD Online training is institutionally approved.
Offers skills training in a risk free environment.
Using experiential learning methods enables participants to confidently experiment
with new approaches, test new found knowledge, and develop new skills and attitudes.
As people learn best by doing so we use experiential learning methods to
help participants review their performance in realistic situations but ones where
errors or mistakes can be made in a way that does not have serious consequences
or cause damage to themselves or their organisation.
The HRD Group is a license holder of the well
respected
April Executive computerised business simulation. This system developed around
the Western European automobile industry further enriches our learning methods.
Participants
learn by thinking through business opportunities, and threats, and take decisions
on model specifications, research and development projects, pricing and promotion,
level of production etc. To be successful teams will need to reflect on the consequences
of their decisions - this leads to an understanding of how individual decisions
impact on other aspects in business and how to diagnose problems, develop coping
strategies, and be both proactive and reactive, etc.
KNOWLEDGE TESTS
The significant advantage of conducting knowledge
tests is that the individual is not reliant upon their own or third parties subjective
view. The
advantage of our knowledge tests is that each question is linked to learning material
and consequently a link to that learning material is emailed to the participant
for each question they failed to answer correctly.
The TestEd portfolio
using push learning on HRD Online provides an approach that must be the most economically
avaible use of quality training resources - anywhere!!!
Where knowledge
tests are a compulsory element of regulatory bodies, with successful completion
is a prerequisite to certification, then the HRD Online training system has a
portfolio of structured, email driven and blended eprogrammes.
Learning
methods are not complete without having the human dynamic present. Our workshops
range from half day modules,
delivered in-house, to five day intensive sessions, with a residential option.
All workshops are customised in terms of learning objectives, content, and delivery
style.
We however do not subscribe to talk and chalk
but an experiential experience wherever possible - so for all our workshops we
place emphasis on situation analysis so that theory can be successfully applied
within the organisation. To achieve this we adopt a facilitator style to encourage
full and active participation - in this way momentum and user motivation is maintained
and desire for change cultivated.
Regardless
of what learning methods are selected the true test is can the candidate utilise
that learning to the benefit of their organisation? To meet this challenge we
encourage clients to incorporate within any blended learning programme a work
based assignment.
Terms of Reference can be developed
with particular bias towards a current organisational mission or selected from
our library of Level 3 and Level 4 assignments. These work based assignments are
fully accredited by the Institute of Leadership & Management.
Our
workshops contribute credits for generic Management Qualifications
as awarded by the Institute of Leadership & Management
(ILM) - when blended with the underpinning knowledge on our Distant
