Keeping learners engaged throughout their course can be a challenge.  

Everyone has their off days. If you’re not in the mood for working, it’s all too easy to find something else to distract you – watching TV, browsing social media, or even doing the washing up! We're all guilty of a little procrastination from time to time. So when it comes to your learners, you need to make sure they’re as engaged as possible.  

One of the best ways to keep learners engaged is to use an interactive learning software, like OneFile. OneFile has loads of built-in features to help learners take an active role in their development. They can access multimedia content, complete quizzes, evaluate their skills, track their own progression, and use their smartphones to work wherever they are. Learners love using OneFile – it's how they want to learn.  

Learner evaluations  

Learners can use OneFile’s scorecard feature to evaluate their own skills. They can rate themselves on a scale of 1 to 10 and see how they develop throughout their programme. Learners stay more engaged when they take an active role in their progression, so OneFile is perfect for this.  

Social-media-style learning  

Learners can record learning reflections and share journal entries to create a timeline of learning – just like social media. They can write what they’ve learnt, create a voice note or upload a video – it's a flexible, fun and engaging way to record learning.  

Gamified progress 

OneFile gamifies progression with score charts, visual diagrams and motivational notes. There’s nothing better than seeing your hard work paying off, so it’s a great way to keep learners engaged in their programme.  

Multimedia content 

Everyone learns in different ways, so variation is key. With OneFile, tutors can create a range of multimedia content – including videos, documents and quizzes – so it caters to everyone.  

Learn anytime, anywhere  

Think of how much time the average person spends on their phone. Now imagine how much learners could achieve if they worked on their phones. Well with OneFile, they can. Learners can log in anytime, anywhere, on any device – when they’re at home, on the bus or in the office.  

Flexibility 

With OneFile, learners have the ultimate flexibility to learn in a way that suits them – and at the same time, the whole journey is managed and recorded online. Learners get the freedom and motivation they need, but there’s no risk of lost work, failed audits or learning gaps. It’s the best of both worlds. 

 

“I like the ease of navigation and the clear layout of OneFile. You can upload pictures which is easier than trying to explain with words – the best part is it’s all online and there’s no physical paperwork to lose!” Kirsty Thomson, apprentice | Coachmakers Livery Company
