The learner engagement gap refers to the disconnect in online learning where participation does not translate to real engagement with content. Learners may attend sessions but fail to absorb information due to various distractions and the absence of direct supervision. Research indicates that online training generally lacks the engagement levels seen in in-person settings. Many learners complete only a fraction of the coursework, and a substantial number do not start their courses at all. There is also a notable misalignment between employee expectations and the training effectiveness they experience.
The learner engagement gap is the disconnect between participation and involvement in an online learning experience, where learners appear present but are not mentally engaged.
Virtual training often doesn't achieve the same engagement levels as in-person learning, with surveys indicating significant dissatisfaction among students regarding the lack of hands-on experiences.
Completion rates for online courses are notably low, with data showing that most students complete only about 30% of the material and a significant percentage do not even start.
The gap between training offerings and employee expectations is significant, as many employees believe that effective training can enhance their performance yet feel unsatisfied with their advancement opportunities.
