Digital Learning
Digital learning is known by many names. Some call it online learning, for others it is digital learning or eLearning. At Octivo we tend to use digital learning as it is clear that we mean presenting learning materials using digital technology. This allows us to both take a wide sweep through the available technology and also to add new methods as the technology reaches maturity.

At Octivo
At Octivo, we look at the client aims and constraints, the characteristics of the learners and the amount and type of content to be covered when we design a course. This careful investigation allows us to match up the best type of learning for the task. Digital learning can be focused on individual learning but can equally be designed for group learning.
In facilitating learning of a group, such as a team, decisions can be made about what parts can be learned individually at their own pace and in their own time, and what content needs the whole group to come together. This flow between individual and group activities can be especially powerful when done well.
Digital Learning Has Some Wonderful Benefits
The major ones are:
- It allows the learner to progress at their own pace
- Activities can also bring a whole group together
- Makes it possible to closely link learning and assessment
- The already completed learning remains available to the learner for revision later
- Makes individualising the learning possible at scale through using assessments to determine what material is presented next
- Permits the economic coverage of the same content in different mediums to best suit the preferences of different learners
- Can create high levels of engagement
- Permits the gamification of learning to improve engagement, knowledge retention and motivation
- Makes possible just in time learning and remote learning on location.
Digital Learning Can Take Many Different Forms
Some of the common ones are:
A digital learning object that learners progress through
A webinar brings the personal touch while allowing digital interactions, recording for later review and revision, and saves travel and other costs
A digital discussion forum allows collaborative learning and peer teaching models to be applied
Various types of assessments
