From Readiness to Results: Measuring Transformation in Digital Training

Abstract

This study looks at the effectiveness of digital skills training for creating digital magazines. It compares participant responses before and after a webinar called "Craft & Click: The Art of Modern E-Magazine." The research examines how factors affecting readiness relate to learning results and the development of confidence. Data was collected from 162 surveys before the webinar and 151 surveys after it. These surveys measured aspects like technical preparedness, previous experience, clarity of content, and confidence after training. The findings show a significant rise in participant confidence, with a 12% increase, and a notable jump in satisfaction ratings. Sixty-five per cent gave the highest ratings after the webinar, compared to 32.84% before it. The research highlights that practical demonstrations, clear explanations, and logical content flow are very effective in teaching digital publishing. This paper adds to the growing field of digital literacy by identifying key factors that influence successful learning in specialised digital skills training.
