It may be surprising that a tool for distance education and online learning is presented as a great tool for internal information sharing and employee training. Our focus on pedagogical principles and the best way of creating learning may seem miles away from the day-to-day challenges of sharing new policies or motivating volunteers ahead of a new week.
The word ‘learning’ may itself trigger images of students behind desks, or even school children dutifully reciting verb tenses. But learning is so much more than gaining fundamental knowledge.
The information you want to send to your employees is not intended just to be read. You want it to lead to some sort of change – change in behavior, knowledge, attitude or values. Whenever this is true, you want a degree of learning to take place.
Pedit was built to be a tool for schools, and as such, it’s very well suited to distance education at every level, from kindergarten to university. But students are not the only learners.
Imagine a care home. New routines for infection prevention are being sent to all the nurses and carers. As a result, they are expected to follow new procedures and report in a new way. The new information is not just read – it is learned. They are all learners.
An NGO may be struggling to raise enough funds to meet a current crisis. The volunteers receive a pep-talk with data and statistics showing how their efforts are helping. They are learners.
In Pedit’s language and philosophy, there is no difference between these situations – learners are all those who are learning. By keeping this in mind, we help you reach your internal or external goals in an easier way – by making sure your information is learned, not just observed.
