I want to examine emerging
technologies that can be used in employee training and development. The technologies can be used for employee
training outside of the classroom and during employee training in the classroom
as an enhancement to building knowledge and skill development. The technologies can also be used in
collaborative learning.
Three emerging technologies are being
used in adult education are Tegrity® Educational System, Multimedia Technologies,
and Virtual Organization model known as MOODLE (acronym for Modular
Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment).
Each technology can be used in or outside of the learning
environment. The educator can use them
to develop and deliver learning programs for their students and/or
trainees. The educator can also use them
to enhance learning as they teach within the classroom environment. Students have the ability to access learning
programs from the Web and/or Internet, as well as in distance learning
classroom environments such as Blackboard™, and WebCT™. Students and educators can engage in learning
activities in the learning environment and outside in collaborative learning.
As a Corporate Trainer and Developer,
using emerging technologies make it possible to develop and deliver training
programs that use up-to-date technologies, enhance learning for students, and
provide more flexible teaching and learning opportunities. The technologies easily connect to existing
technology networks so educators can easily adopt them and students can easily
access them. The technologies can be used
with many devices, such as video cameras, video recorders, microphones, mouse
and keyboards, virtual reality equipment and more, that make it possible to
create a more active, engaging learning environment for participants.
