Improving Learner Retention Through Feedback

Engaging learners with interactive elements is the best way to create a long-lasting impression. 

Training in your organization is supposed to be more than fulfilling a requirement. By including certain elements within online learning, you can greatly improve learner retention. PK Learning is passionate about elevating educational experience to a memorable experience.

A Safe Environment to Make Mistakes  

  • After introducing a topic, an effective way to increase learner retention is to provide realistic scenarios, such as asking questions on how to best handle certain situations. A correct answer affirms the learner is on the right track. However, if a wrong answer is selected, it will reiterate the correct answer and explain why the answer is incorrect.  

Formative Feedback on Decisions 

  • Increase learning retention means giving learners formative feedback throughout online learning. Real-time feedback provides the learner with supporting information, creating a more engaging experience.  

Providing Learners with a Solid Foundation  

  • Based on the feedback given during the training, learners develop a solid foundation that will serve them well when working independently. By having encountered similar situations in a safe learning environment, they are now equipped to deal with real-time, possibly sensitive, situations.
