Team-Thinking in LMS Training
During LMS training, sometimes staff members are asked to work in teams to develop new ideas, produce reports, and take on different tasks to work towards organizational goals.
We’ve all seen the inspirational posters that read: “Teamwork: None of us is as smart as all of us.” Some of us have also been entertained by the similar poster which reads: “Teamwork: None of us is as dumb as all of us.”
Humor aside, which poster is more true? Is teamwork a worthwhile activity in a training program–or in any educational context?
Studies reveal that when a clear structure and well-developed plan exist, team learning can be highly successful and efficient. When created and maintained by an LMS training tool or experienced trainer, the advantages of teams in training programs outweigh the negatives.
Throughout their lives, all people cultivate their own unique talents and skills. Each person has a unique set of skills and talents to offer. Good instructors and educators have always understood this, which is why teams are still utilized in educational contexts.
Unfortunately, despite the popularity of teamwork in the professional world, oftentimes companies make only a weak effort to create strong and trusting teams.
Too often, managers themselves still maintain a competitive work ethic, making it difficult or impossible for them to encourage teamwork.But when teams are guided and maintained with good faith, efficient teamwork effects a happy staff. And, as we all know, a happy staff is a productive staff. The opposite also exists–a poorly maintained team without clear guidance or instructions produces a negative, unproductive and quarrelsome staff.
LMS training is one effective tool in aiding both managers and staff organize assignments and goals within a team.
