🎯 What learning objectives can be addressed digitally?
It's often assumed that the distinction lies between “theory” and “practice”: theory delivered digitally (e.g., as a precursor to in-person sessions) and practice conducted face-to-face. However, the real distinction is better described as developing a skill “in a controlled environment” versus “in real-time under pressure.”
Any skill—whether theoretical or practical, abstract or concrete, “hard” or “soft”—can be effectively taught digitally in a controlled, low-pressure setting. For instance, you can use digital tools to train interpersonal skills through tailored scenarios that resonate with your audience.
💡 The only current limitation of digital learning is the ability to train in real-time, high-pressure situations, where factors like stress come into play (although virtual reality may eventually blur this boundary).
Of course, digital learning also excels at delivering theoretical knowledge. However, it’s crucial not to confuse the skill being taught with the method of teaching. For example, even hands-on skills like breadmaking rely on strong theoretical principles that enhance the final product’s quality (e.g., understanding how the interaction between gluten and water is optimized by specific kneading techniques). In fact, some of the best artisans in France are deeply knowledgeable about the theory behind their craft!
