This document discusses the future of learning and development in safety by embracing technological advancements. It outlines how post-COVID training can utilize remote and virtual delivery methods. Instructional design should prioritize learners through evidence-based and rapidly developed content. Training delivery can be improved through immersive methods like gamification, mobile learning, virtual and augmented realities. Personalized and adaptive learning techniques tailor the experience for each individual learner. Continuous learning and reinforcement strengthen training messages outside of formal sessions.

8. Personalisation of Learning
• Tailoring content to:
• Roles
• Experience level
• Learning styles
• Language
• Enhances:
• Engagement,
• knowledge retention,
• Application of safety practices

9. Adaptive Learning
• Automatically adjusts to the needs of each learner
• Recreates at scale the optimal teaching approach of a one-on-one
personal tutor
• Uses proven data analytics and intelligent technologies to adjust in
real-time to deliver an optimal experience

11. Continuous Learning & Reinforcement
• Reinforcement of training messages
• Support training with workplace aids
• Do not force the same training on people over and over again

12. Summary
• Technology is the key to improvement
• Face-to-face training needs to use technology
• Invest in your workers

13. Call to Action
I urge you all to review the current training that you are providing your workers and
ask them and ask yourself:
Does this training provide the best opportunity
for the participants to improve?
