Founder and CEO of HNI, Hanan Nagi, collected the runners-up accolade for ‘Best use of Technology to Drive Learning Initiatives’ during the award ceremony staged at the Taj Business Bay, Dubai.
Honoured in the same category as industry leaders like du and GEMS Education, HNI was celebrated for its notable work to incorporate technology into training programs to help enhance the learning experience. Pioneering digital learning solutions even prior to the pandemic, HNI has built a reputation for using cutting-edge technology to deliver high-quality training programs through creative techniques such as virtual reality, gamification, and simulation.
Hanan explained, “Technology is a powerful tool that can transform the way people learn, and we have leveraged it to create engaging, interactive, immersive and personalized learning experiences that allow our clients to practice real-world scenarios in a safe and controlled environment. We have also invested in learning management systems that allow for personalized learning paths and real-time feedback. Our clients can track their progress, access learning resources, and collaborate with their peers and instructors in a digital environment.”
Hanan says the positive impact of technology use can be seen in the learning outcomes. She revealed, “By providing engaging, interactive, and personalized learning experiences, we have been able to improve retention rates and accelerate skills development. The results we have seen demonstrate the importance of incorporating technology into training programs to improve learning outcomes that drive business results.”
