Our traditional approach to learning at Nationwide often resulted in an information overload, especially within our commercial and specialty lines. This prompted us to seek more effective methods. We found the solution in 7taps, a tool that allows us to break down complex topics into manageable, engaging chunks.
"Microlearning, specifically through 7taps, has allowed us to break down difficult topics into smaller pieces, making it easier for our associates to digest, understand, and retain information."

How we apply microlearning in the insurance sector
Think about presenting a detailed topic to a room full of people. As you go into the specifics, the eyes in the room start to glaze over, overwhelmed by the information. This was a frequent issue at Nationwide until we turned to microlearning. By making information bite-sized, we made it easier for our associates to digest and retain.

Here’s how we incorporated microlearning with 7taps into our training:
1. Simplifying complex information
When we needed to explain the intricacies of a new business model, we knew it had to be done in a way that would keep the audience engaged. We created three concise courses using 7taps. The first course introduced the team and their value, the second covered key terminology, and the third highlighted their business partners. This approach allowed us to avoid repetitive meetings and, instead, turn that time into productive discussions.
2. Decoding financial jargon to enhance business acumen
Financial literacy can be a dry and complex subject. To tackle this, we used 7taps to design an engaging learning path called "Financial Jargon Decoded." We broke down dense financial terms into simple, engaging lessons using visuals, AI-generated videos, and quizzes. This not only made the learning process fun but also ensured that associates grasped and retained crucial information. Now, everyone has a clearer understanding of how their roles contribute to our organization’s success.

For broader organizational rollouts, we used 7taps to provide visual examples and walk-throughs of different scenarios. This ensures our teams are well-prepared and can drive initiatives forward without feeling overwhelmed by a flood of information.
