Technology-Enhanced Learning Flashcards

Which accessibility standard should technology-enhanced DEI training platforms follow to support learners with disabilities in the US?

A trainer is evaluating whether a diversity e-learning course is culturally responsive. Which indicator is most telling?

Answer: Scenarios reflect cultural contexts, values, and communication styles relevant to the target audience

Culturally responsive content integrates authentic cultural contexts and perspectives, not merely surface-level visual representation.

What is microlearning, and why is it particularly effective for diversity training delivery?

Answer: Short, focused learning modules; effective because they fit into busy schedules and target specific behaviors

Microlearning delivers targeted, bite-sized content that improves retention and allows just-in-time learning on specific DEI concepts.

When conducting a live virtual diversity workshop, which facilitation technique best ensures equitable participation?

Structured facilitation tools counteract dominance dynamics and create space for quieter or historically marginalized voices.

How should a CDT candidate evaluate the effectiveness of a technology-enhanced DEI training program?

Kirkpatrick's model provides a comprehensive framework to assess whether training changed attitudes, knowledge, behaviors, and organizational outcomes.

A global organization uses a single English-only e-learning platform for DEI training. What is the primary equity concern?

Answer: Non-English-speaking employees face a language barrier that limits access and learning effectiveness

Language accessibility is foundational to equitable learning; English-only content marginalizes non-native English speakers.

What is the primary purpose of using branching scenario simulations in DEI e-learning?

Answer: To allow learners to practice decision-making in realistic, consequence-driven diversity situations

Branching scenarios place learners in realistic situations where choices have consequences, building judgment and empathy in a safe environment.
