There are plenty of programs that issue digital badges and certificates to their learners, but many of those credentials stop delivering value the moment they’re issued. Learners struggle to explain them, employers struggle to trust them and learning teams struggle to show the impact of their programs.

If learning experts really want to design sustainable digital training, you must invest more — not necessarily money, but ideas and a transfer vision. Training design is only one of three areas that are crucial for transfer success. The other two are participants and organisations. It’s often the third area — the organisation — that represents the greatest transfer challenge and supposedly can be addressed the least by the elearning designer. However, there are several levers in each of the three areas that can be set to ‘effective,’ even in elearning. In this session, Melanie Martinelli, CEO of Institute for Transfer Effectiveness, will share with you five quick-and-easy tools that do exactly that.
