Simple Tools, Big Impact: Modifying Learning Environments with Simple Tech for Non-English Speakers Online
In today’s diverse workplace, it’s essential to ensure that all employees have equal access to training materials and opportunities for growth, regardless of their language proficiency or literacy levels. This presentation will explore practical strategies for making workplace training more accessible to team members who do not speak English as a first language or have low literacy levels. By leveraging basic, easy-to-use technology tools such as iPads, personal smart phones, translation apps, visual supports, Mentimeter, website storage, and closed captions, we can help bridge communication barriers and create a more inclusive learning environment.
We will demonstrate how we used the items listed previously as versatile tools for interactive and accessible learning in our new team member orientations. By the end of the session, attendees will gain practical skills to implement these technologies, fostering a more inclusive and effective learning experience for all.
