Technology-Based Training: Empowering Workplace Ownership and Accountability

Abstract

As technology advances, training and development are undergoing a transformation as a result. At every stage of their educational careers, students learn how, when, and where to learn, with an emphasis on being empowered at every stage of their educational journey. Through the use of technology in training and development, students are able to take ownership of how they learn. This makes training and development relevant to their digital lives, and prepares them for the future. Technology and the availability of resources beyond the classroom walls encourage students to become problem solvers, critical thinkers, collaborators, and creators through the use of technology. By successfully integrating technology into classrooms, students develop a lifelong love of training and development that lasts for the rest of their lives. It has been observed that technology has played and will continue to play a critical role in delivering education to students outside of the classroom. Despite the difficulty in deploying remote learning technologies, it is commendable that all countries were able to make use of TV, Radio, Online and Mobile Platforms to do so.
