The age of experience

We live in the age of experience!

We need to feel in order to “get it”

That is why we need to re-shape the way we teach, we need to re-shape education.

Things have changed exponentially over the years in every field but with education the opposite has happened.

If you were to place a 200 year old doctor in today’s operation room he/she would not be able to even recognize most of the tools. On the other hand, if you did the same thing, get a 200 year old teacher and place in today’s classroom, this person would feel comfortable in that environment.

Pushing information, memorizing and fitting tests standards is not how people learn anymore.

Education now needs to bring experiences, emotions and stories which are like food to our brain. You connect experience with content.

Why do you think games are so popular and by 2020 it is said that our lives will be 80% gamified?

Because they provide experience, story line, emotions and when we learn a process we move into another phase where that process will be modified and then you evolve again to a new level.

Just look at the Pokemon Go craze and see why it is appealing to people of all ages. Virtual little cute creatures can populate a virtual reality environment. You go and discover these creatures like in a treasure hunt, then you help them evolve into other beings. You fight to train them and you join a team which makes you belong. Take into account that this game does not even provide instructions on how to be played. Making mystery part of its lure.

This experience is fulfilling and makes people learn all about the game and its creatures.

Education today needs to be exciting, allowing participation and morph into something else with this participation. It needs to create content around stories and experiences. This is how it is going. This is exciting.

It also need to reach people when they want, how they want and where they want. so the formats cannot be put in a box. They need to blend. In person, virtual, exchanging points of views. Not one expert telling what needs to be done but experts facilitating a process that provides a new experience.

This is true to kids as well with adults seeking to improve their skills.

That is our quest at Curious Mondo. Bring a new type of education while at the same time allowing people everywhere to get access to this exciting way of learning and allowing them access to the expert and access to help guide each course.

Is Corporate eLearning Worth The Investment?

Companies of all sizes are now beginning to see the advantages of moving their corporate training online.

Corporations now report that eLearning is the second most valuable training method that they use. This is no surprise, given that eLearning saves businesses at least 50% when they replace traditional instructor-based training with e-Learning. Not to mention that eLearning cuts down instruction time by up to 60%.

Reduced training costs
One of the most significant advantages of online corporate training is that it actually reduces training costs. There will no longer be a need for printed training materials or even on-site facilitators, given that all of the information an employee will need can be found within the online training platform.

Rapid deployment of content
Online training can be delivered quickly and conveniently, so that employees are able to acquire new information or skill sets almost immediately.

Offers employees the opportunity to access information when they need it most
Online training also gives employees the chance to access important information or reference materials whenever and wherever they need it.

Gives employees the opportunity to learn at their own pace
Employees who have access to asynchronous online training gain the ability to go at their own pace. They don’t have to rush through the content that is being presented in a corporate classroom setting or move at the pace of their co-workers. They are given the opportunity to acquire and fully absorb what is being taught before they move on within the online training course.

Eliminates the need for on-site instructors
Undoubtedly, one of the most notable benefits of online corporate training is that there is no longer a need for an on-site instructor. That means that you will no longer have to pay for travel and/or accommodations for the instructor(s) neither you will have to allocate valuable working hours for corporate class instruction.

Boosts employee productivity
If you’re wondering whether your online corporate training investment is worthwhile, then just consider how much it can boost your employee productivity.

Reduced employee turnover rates
Happy and well-informed employees are employees who are more likely to remain loyal to your organization. By giving them access to round-the-clock online training and self-paced learning modules, they can further their professional goals and feel motivated to improve their on-the-job performance.

Virtual Learning Can Be Tricky

We live in a moment where adults know they need to sharpen their skills constantly if they want to remain competitive and with a sharp brain. They might seek further education  because their profession requires continuing education, might be because they want to be better prepared to execute their job or because they have an entrepreneurial desire to build a business, or make an existing business grow. Is virtual training the way to go?

When they look for further education it is natural that they will look for online options. After all, if they find the right course they can self-pace their education, get relevant knowledge and apply it fast.

This big need we have as a society has opened the doors for many companies to provide e-learning. They may call it in different ways: Virtual training, continuing education, further learning, self-paced courses.

It seems like a simple formula: Put some videos there with some content and sell them. The shorter the better since it looks like there is a lot of content and quality behind it and you can even hide that under the term micro-learning that seems the way to go for young adults seeking self-directed learning. It also can be quite cheap. You can get a membership for $0.90. Paradise right?

The reality is quite different.

Overall E-learning has a dissatisfaction rate of 83%. Really high. This means people go through the course and are not happy at the end. The reasons behind it are mainly no access to the expert or instructor for questions and the quality of the content.

What is really happening is an overflow of companies selling videos packaged as courses. Quality is usually really low as well as not often relevant or updated content. Re-purposed content now packaged as online courses. Because they are sold at very low prices, expert crank videos like crazy in order to make some money.

Never the term “You get what you pay for” was so true.

Since many companies have many investors and a lot of money to spend on social networks, it looks like they are the way to go.

I suggest that before you spend your hard earned money in one of these companies, you check customer satisfaction rate, number of refunds, consumer reviews. It is going to be eye opening!

So what is the solution?

We deeply believe Curious Mondo has created a different format that is extremely transparent.

Our courses go through a process in order to be approved. We create the course with the instructor following a structure.

We control the quality of the classes since they are all produced in our studios.

We only use instructors that have real -life experience in the topic.

When the courses are created, we use livestreaming. During  livestreaming, classes are open and free to anyone.

Here are some of the benefits of this model: Anyone, anywhere in the World has access to continuing education for free. The classes are interactive and fun to watch- not just an expert in front of a camera, people can ask questions and leave comments, the host will pass them to the instructor and the instructor answers and address concerns right away. The courses become even better than when they were planned because the audience participates.

We provide 30 days access to the instructor if you invest in the course while it is been live streamed.

Full transparency and confidence in the quality of the content.

Our courses are not short, because they go in depth. Some are over 10 hours long (real continuing education), but when they go on-demand, the videos are broken into 20 min each. So it is easier to go through the content. Since we provide unlimited access, you can watch then as often as you choose.

Of course we also provide support material like charts, spreadsheets, extra content in different formats.

All of our training programs are  Available on iOS and Android. You can get training from any device you want.
You also get a Certificate of Completion.

We make learning fun, easy, interactive and aligned with your needs.

Our job is not to provide thousands of courses, our job is to empower people to become all they can become.

As always, it is your choice!
