I am currently working on taxation training modules that are very technical and tedious to understand. I want to incorporate some creative and fun strategies to make the courses more engaging. Though the content available is quite detailed and rich, it is not interactive and palatable at this moment. The learners are mainly government and private sector employees. Need suggestions on what approach would work best for such courses as have series of similar courses to work on. Let me know any specific approach or strategies that you might have used for similar courses. TIA!
Hello! By presenting the content in a storytelling format, you can engage their emotions and help them see the practical applications of taxation concepts. I usually use it for such heavy and complex topics.
A daunting task, but there are strategies that can help. Use real-life examples or case studies that are relevant to government and private sector employees. These examples can help learners see the practical applications of the concepts they’re learning, making the content more relatable and interesting. Incorporating group activities or discussions can encourage peer-to-peer learning and provide opportunities for learners to share their insights and experiences.
Taxes are troublesome anywhere 😊 One approach that worked well for me was incorporating case studies or real-life scenarios related to taxation. Break down the content into smaller, digestible chunks and present it in a visually appealing manner. Infographics, charts, and diagrams can be used to simplify complex concepts and make them more engaging.
Ah, taxation training, the thrill of numbers and regulations! When i read this –> “I want to incorporate some creative and fun strategies to make the courses more engaging.” – the first thing that came to my mind was the humor around the “common man” and his woes with the tax!! There are plenty on the internet that can be leveraged.
Taxation Game Show: Turn tax law into a game show! Imagine contestants answering tax-related questions for points and prizes. You could call it “Tax Jeopardy” or “The Taxinator.” Who wouldn’t want to play along with the Taxinator?
Hi there! Consider incorporating gamification elements, such as quizzes, challenges, and leaderboards, to create a sense of competition and motivation among learners. This can help make the courses more interactive and enjoyable. One more important aspect could be the use of audio that is explanatory and not just reading the on-screen text. Maybe an actual trainer explaining the course will work great!
Interactivity is in the first place meant to give more control to the learner. Avoid linear courses, bulleted lists, text-heavy slides. As an engineer (construction sites, project management, cost price calculation) I have developed several rather technical and math-related courses. A good eLearning tool gives you a lot of possibilities:
- Drag&Drop is considered more fun than filling in numbers.
- Let learner discover content bitewise and in her/his sequence by using Click/Reveal or Click/Replace workflow.
- Use Branching and scenarios.
- Create engaging assessments.
- Use software simulations in Training/Assessment mode for IT-related topics.
- Use some gamification features or even real games.
Just some tips. I am using a lot of multistate objects, even for formulas. Have a look at these examples:
Taxation, eh?
Sounds like there could be some math involved ..?
I would develop some calculator-like modules and make an activity out of that.
Help folks learn those numbers!
Regulatory language is pretty dry as well so you could try to help folks find things within handbooks or other documentation with a look-up style of activity.
