Methodological Tips

40 simple and ready-to-use methodological tips that will make your online training event a success.

Designing Learning Events

UNITAR's Learning Solutions team takes you through the whole process of training design with guiding questions for both face-to-face and online learning events.

Design and host online course

As the greatest revolution in today’s education, online learning has a myriad of advantages. We design and host online courses and with this enable learners to study in a self-paced way from distance.

Advise and conceptualize online learning interventions

Learning interventions need to be well thought-out. We conceptualize the entire learning process in order to ensure the best possible outcome of online learning interventions.

Blended learning

Blended learning combines traditional educational methods with online educational material and opportunities for online interaction. This results in flexibility, efficiency and extended reach and gives the advantage of covering all learning styles.

Technology-supported learning

We believe that a wide variety of technologies can strongly enhance learning. This is why we create learning environments in which appropriate technology is integrated to support learners.

Gamification

We design gamification tools to engage participants in challenging and motivating online trainings. Gamification can take different shapes:

• Serious games that allow an action-oriented and situation-based learning;
• Badges, points, rewards that make participants want to learn more and that foster their autonomy;
• Social challenges that allow peer-exchange and informal learning.

Online communities of practice

Learning is more sustainable in the community. We create online community learning and sharing spaces for peer-exchange, coaching,  mentoring and long term support. The online communities allow the participants to have more flexibility that facilitates a long-term commitment.

Learning apps

Learning apps can be used differently depending on the learners’ needs. It can include gamification tools, responsive online courses, just-in-time resources and sharing spaces. An app can also be made in a way that once it is downloaded, it is available offline.
