Learning Technologies and Digital Training Flashcards

Gamification in corporate training involves applying game elements such as:

Answer: Points, badges, leaderboards, and challenges to increase engagement and motivation

Gamification adds game mechanics — scoring, competition, rewards — to non-game learning contexts to boost motivation and participation.

A virtual reality (VR) simulation is most valuable in corporate training when:

Answer: Learners need to practice high-stakes or dangerous scenarios safely

VR enables immersive, safe practice in environments that would be too dangerous, expensive, or logistically impossible to replicate in real life.

A responsive course design in e-learning ensures that:

Answer: Content automatically adapts its layout to display correctly on any device screen size

Responsive design uses fluid layouts and flexible media so e-learning courses display and function correctly on desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

Social learning platforms in corporate training support learning through:

Answer: Peer collaboration, knowledge sharing, discussion forums, and community practice

Social learning tools facilitate informal, collaborative learning through interaction — aligning with the '70:20:10' model that values peer and social knowledge transfer.

Artificial intelligence (AI) in an LMS is most commonly used to:

Answer: Deliver personalized learning recommendations and adaptive content pathways based on learner data

AI-powered LMS features analyze learner performance data to recommend relevant content, flag at-risk learners, and adapt learning paths dynamically.

Accessibility standards such as WCAG 2.1 are important in digital training because they ensure:

Answer: E-learning content is usable by people with disabilities including visual, auditory, and motor impairments

WCAG 2.1 guidelines define requirements — such as captions, alt text, and keyboard navigation — that make digital learning inclusive for all employees.
