Abstract

Employee training is considered critical for organization success legitimacy. The present study investigated the effects of four different online training methods on post- test recall. Student participants from UAH viewed one of four types of videos covering diversity, equity, and inclusion concepts--generative scenarios in which participants generated a label for what the scenarios covered, descriptive scenarios that included a label, a control with scenarios, and a control with no scenarios. Scenarios involved school-based and work-based examples to assess how the relevance of context for student non-workers versus student-workers impacted recall. A repeated measures ANOVA revealed that across all four conditions participants showed improved performance after watching the DEI training videos; however, there were no differences between training methods and there were no significant differences in the recall performance of work-and school-based scenarios between student workers and student non-workers. We can conclude from our research that video-based training methods enhanced learning.
