Insights from 10 years of e-learning development
We are super proud to have published SD Strategies' 50th online training course on all things ESG!
Our suite of bite-sized modern slavery eLearning courses continue to be popular with clients across Australia and internationally – we have even translated them into Malagasy and French, the national languages of Madagascar. Our users have included representatives from multinational corporations, SMEs, NGOs, suppliers to reporting entities, government agencies, risk managers, Board directors and CEOs across five continents - and we're working on establishing a client base in Antarctica also!
With more than three decades of experience in sustainability, we enjoy incorporating all we have learned into impactful courses on diverse ESG topics including::
climate change and net zero pathways
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
diversity and inclusion
modern slavery risk management
human rights/ESG legislative and reporting frameworks
grievance mechanisms and remedy
fraud, bribery and corruption
board responsibilities and accountabilities
The team at SD Strategies has been developing engaging online ESG training courses for more than 10 years. Here are some insights for companies looking to source and deliver online training:
Beware of cheap PowerPoint presentations with AI voice-over masquerading as eLearning. Effective and engaging online courses include interactivity, multimedia, quizzes and knowledge checks, professional voice over and a depth of factual and up-to-date information.
Link your training courses to external websites and resources so learners can explore topics widely and understand the bigger picture.
Don't forget to train your priority and potentially highest risk suppliers and other stakeholders. They are an essential part of a successful and inclusive risk management or ESG program. Offering training to your suppliers is a great way to engage and empower them to address material ESG issues and risks.
Be prepared for challenges associated with deploying externally sourced online training courses, especially when using external Learning Management Systems (LMS) and ensure your training provider is technically competent to help solve IT problems quickly and efficiently. Make sure learners are provided with help desk support (particularly if they aren’t particularly computer literate) and understand cybersecurity, firewalls and limited bandwidth issues.
Ensure cultural factors associated with international learners or First Nations users are considered and that courses are updated with changes to legislation, statistics or other parameters. Be sure the system you use is capable of tracking and monitoring course completions and providing up-to-date training reports.
We invite you and your team to undertake online ESG training on our purpose-built LMS or, alternatively, purchase the SCORM packages to deploy our courses on your in-house LMS. Talk to us about our range of off-the-shelf courses or work with us to develop bespoke training courses to meet your particular needs.
