The Life Sciences Trainers & Educators Network (LTEN) is proud to introduce a unique new microlearning module for its LTEN eLearning Lounge, spotlighting building inclusive learning experiences. The new module, “Creating Inclusive Learning Experiences,” is available now at www.L-TEN.org.
The 20-minute, self-paced, on-demand module was developed in partnership with Metrix. The module includes a participant job aid and a coaching tool. The learning experience combines personal experiences with proven strategies, providing training professionals with techniques to incorporate principles of diversity, inclusion and belonging into training sessions, either in-person or virtual.
The new module is part of the 15-module eLearning Lounge, a self-guided microlearning series focus on key principles of learning and development within pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and diagnostics organizations. All modules include coaching guides, action plans and job aids to help trainers translate the lessons into their projects. Trainers can select specific modules or enroll in all 15 for a comprehensive solution. Learn more about the eLearning Lounge here.
