Do you know about peer learning? It is a revolutionary method that allows you to benefit from the knowledge of your employees. How? By using tools to not lose the knowledge of its employees. Also called “Peer-to-peer learning” or “peer learning”, it will convince you of the importance of collaborative knowledge.
The traditional teaching method
From a young age, we have developed the bad habit of receiving our lessons, sitting passively on the school benches. It's a fact, knowledge comes from above, from an expert who owns the knowledge and distributes it... one-way. Today this model persists in the world of vocational training: whether in person or even in e-learning, it is the trainer who owns the knowledge and shares it with his students.
Let's get off the beaten track!
When an employee needs to be trained, we automatically think of paying an external contributor, whereas the office neighbor or predecessor surely has this knowledge! Why look elsewhere for knowledge that already exists within the company? It is time to fully appreciate the wealth that each employee represents!
Everyone has expertise that they are able to share in order to enable their employees to develop their skills. Businesses are gradually beginning to understand the power of participatory pedagogy. On the one hand, the employee feels valued because their skills are recognized and their dissemination is valued. On the other hand, the company develops at a lower cost by allowing the dissemination of knowledge internally.
Offer the means, the missing brick!
The learner tends to become an actor in vocational training: from being passive, he becomes active in increasing the skills of his employees. To optimize collaborative knowledge in business, it is essential to provide the appropriate tools. Today there are adapted devices, such as the solution of Mobile Learning of Beedeez, where learners can finally (get) trained intuitively. On the battery side, a very easy to use platform to allow anyone to share their knowledge. For example, via Tips, each employee can share their knowledge through short videos. On the other hand, a Microlearning application to distribute these training courses by cutting them into short and fun capsules: you can train anywhere, anytime, as soon as a little free time comes along!
Peer Learning and Social Learning give employees the opportunity to become trainers themselves! This allows them all to access an apprenticeship thanks to educational content available in their training modules. A training system available via a virtual classroom is the ideal tool to give perfect mobility to learners.
