As your team, community, and program needs change, training may need to evolve too. Even well-designed courses can become outdated over time. To help organizations review and update their existing training programs, we’ve created a free Training Review Toolkit. It’s simple to use and works with any LMS or learning format. What’s Inside The toolkit includes two practical resources: 1. Training Update Checklist A quick, 10-minute scan to help you see where your current training may need improvements. Use it to spot issues like outdated content, low engagement, or skill gaps. 2. Post-Training Evaluation Template A follow-up framework you can use at 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, and 1 year after training. These check-in questions help you understand: What’s being applied in real work What skills are sticking What may need more support or refresh Both tools are flexible and easy to use — no special software needed. Why This Matters When training is regularly reviewed and refreshed, organizations are better able to: Support staff with relevant, real-world skills Improve service delivery and program outcomes Strengthen confidence, consistency, and communication across teams A small check-in can prevent bigger gaps later.

Your teams will be disengaged, processes outdated, and turnover will rise. Employee training isn’t “set it and forget it.” It’s a strategic function that should evolve alongside your organization and its people. But how do you know when it’s time to rethink your approach? Here are six signs that it’s time to refresh your training program. Plus, here’s what each one looks like in practice. 1. Outdated Content or Technology Are your new hires watching videos from 2016 that reference now-defunct tools and policies? That’s your tip-off. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1030" height="686" src="https://talance.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/image-1030x686.png" alt="" class="wp-image-131055" srcset="https://talance.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/image-1030x686.png …

These differences have led to the idea of learning styles. This is the belief that people learn best in different ways. However, do learning styles actually matter when it comes to training? And more importantly, how can you design courses that help everyone succeed? What Are Learning Styles? The most well-known learning styles model is called VARK, which stands for: wp:list {“className”:””,”epStylingOptions”:{“columnsResponsiveEnabled”:false,”columnsHoverEnabled”:false,”itemsSpacingResponsiveEnabled”:false,”itemsSpacingHoverEnabled”:false,”listStyleResponsiveEnabled”:false,”listStyleHoverEnabled”:false,”listIconResponsiveEnabled”:false,”listIconHoverEnabled”:false,”columns”:{“target”:””,”responsive”:true,”hover”:true,”options”:[{“custom”:true,”control”:”ToggleOptions”},{“label”:”Columns”,”control”:”Range”,”attribute”:”columns”,”css”:”grid-template-columns”,”customValue”:”repeat({{value}}, 1fr)”,”props”:{“max”:5,”min”:1,”supportedUnits”:[]},”defaults”:{“desktop”:”1″},”show_if”:{“className”:[“ep-custom-list”]}}]},”itemsSpacing”:{“target”:””,”responsive”:true,”hover”:true,”options”:[{“label”:”Items Spacing”,”control”:”Range”,”attribute”:”itemsSpacing”,”css”:”grid-gap”,”props”:{“max”:100,”mi…

So it’s more important than ever to make sure it’s accessible to all students, including those with disabilities. But what exactly does it mean to make an online learning program accessible? When talking about making online learning accessible or making a program, website, or app accessible, it means making it possible for anyone to benefit from them. Accessibility for online learning means designing the curriculum from the inside out for everyone, regardless of their abilities or challenges. If you’re totally new to elearning, check out this beginner’s guide for a comprehensive list of terms to be aware of. What Does Accessibility Mean for Online Learning? When it comes to making online training accessible, everything including design elements like the size of the text and colors. It also involves important practices like adding alt text and captions to images and videos. Alt text is a description that appears when an image can’t be seen. It helps people who rely on technology that reads out text understand what the image is about. Captions are short li…

It’s not just about word-for-word accuracy. Cultural nuances and learning styles can create hidden pitfalls. These pitfalls can lead to learners feeling confused, disengaged, or even offended. That’s why Talance has historically put an emphasis on avoiding communication breakdowns caused by language barriers, such as in, “How To Offer Virtual Courses in Spanish and Other Languages.” And with years of experience under our belt, we’ve encountered a wide range of course translation pitfalls. One recent challenge involved cultural idioms and expressions. These can be tricky to translate literally, as their meaning might not translate directly. Take, for example, the common English saying “break a leg.” This wouldn’t translate well in some cultures where it might be considered bad luck to wish someone to break a bone. Just like that, seemingly straightforward phrases can create confusion for learners. We’ll delve deeper into navigating these challenges in the next section. However, even with the best intentions, common pitfalls can arise. You’ve probably heard a coworker volunteer to help with translation, but there are ma…

Those are actually different teaching methods called synchronous and asynchronous learning. Both are great for helping people learn, but they each have their pros and cons. Knowing the difference can help you pick the best way to train people in your business. What’s the difference between synchronous vs. asynchronous? In synchronous learning, imagine a class where everyone shows up at the same time, like a traditional classroom. The instructor is there too, guiding the lesson live. This can happen in person or online, but the key is everyone’s learning together at the same pace. Examples: wp:list {“className”:””,”epStylingOptions”:{“columnsResponsiveEnabled”:false,”columnsHoverEnabled”:false,”itemsSpacingResponsiveEnabled”:false,”itemsSpacingHoverEnabled”:false,”listStyleResponsiveEnabled”:false,”listStyleHoverEnabled”:false,”listIconResponsiveEnabled”:false,”listIconHoverEnabled”:false,”columns”:{“target”:””,”responsive”:true,”hover”:true,”options”:[{“custom”:true,”control”:”ToggleOptions”},{“label”:”Columns”,”control”:”…

Unless you work for a big company with internal staff, you’ll probably need to hire a team to build a project. Most agencies, especially healthcare organizations or programs, don’t have the capacity to do everything internally. They don’t have the instructional design development team at hand to create courses for the staff or other audience members. This goes for projects ranging from a relatively small workbook to a large-scale hybrid training program. It’s great to get some outside expertise to confidently bring your project to life. If you’re like one of these agencies, you are probably looking for a training agency help with the heavy lifting. This is true if you’re looking to create a brand new course or convert one from a different format. In any case, you probably need to issue a request for proposal, or RFP.

But you have to use the right tech tool for the job. Sometimes the problem is too many technology tools. Other times, the problem is a certain learner needs help in another area. Since most workplaces provide some kind of online learning, some administrators feel real pressure to solve these kinds of problems fast. It makes sense to check if edtech tools really help the people they’re meant to help. Many of these tools were chosen because they’re new and match what training programs need to teach better. But if you stop using edtech tools in favor of inefficient ways of instruction, your program may not do as well as it could. Soothe your stress by adopting these five fundamental strategies for nurturing success in e-learning. Foster Active Engagement Engagement lies at the heart of effective e-learning.
