Scenario-based learning for compliance training: examples that test judgement

Storytelling. The term has become increasingly popular in recent years and is being used more consciously for a multitude of purposes, but in reality, it is as old as mankind. The first communications we can find, such as cave paintings, folk tales, and plays, are all forms of storytelling. After all, in those times, this was the only way to convey messages and knowledge. The urge to tell stories is within the human being as a kind of primal instinct. Thousands of years have passed since then and now we record everything in books, digital formats, presentations, videos and even VR. To say the least, we’ve become a lot more sophisticated in storytelling, the means we do so, and the applications for it. Nevertheless, storytelling is still an important part of who we are. Now what about the use of storytelling in (corporate) learning?

Training providerHSAprogramoffers a 14-week sales program for professionals active in complex B2B-sales. On a yearly basis, the program has about 120 participants who want to learn how they can structurally sell more complex solutions. To get the most out of the program, it is important that the teaching material is presented to the participants in the most efficient and fun way. That’s why HSAprogram approached Drillster in 2020. David Mooijaart, the owner of HSAprogram, tells us all about it.

It’s summer. That means that most of us will enjoy somevacation time.You and your colleagues will probably take some weeks off and leave your work as is.

Taking a spelling course, that sounds pretty boring to most people. But that’s about to change with Superscript. Spellingo, created in Drillster, allows you to quickly brush up on your Dutch spelling knowledge and have fun while you’re at it. Spellingo has been created especially for the business market, and for anyone who writes to customers or fellow employees on a regular basis. We spoke to Liesbeth Louwerens about Superscript, Spellingo and why she, as a Dutch language specialist, has a big problem with boring language courses.

Adaptive learning is a method that adapts to each employee's level of knowledge and experience, adjusting to their learning speed. In this sense, Drillster is an adaptive learning methodology that uses Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and an intelligent algorithm to collect and analyze data, and assess each user's needs. The application then adjusts learning to these needs. In this way, employees are able to develop, maintain, and retain knowledge and skills in the long term, quickly and at low cost.

Last week we hosted the first virtual edition of the Drillster Kickstart Breakfast event. We used to welcome everyone at the Drillster office, but like many of you we now work from home.
