Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] The Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service announced on the 28th that it has planned and designed Switching Learning, a new educational method that integrates remote learning activities with face-to-face education, in collaboration with the Korea Productivity Center.

Switching Learning is an educational method that incorporates discussion and practical sessions, which were limited due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), into a remote streaming platform, enabling learners to communicate non-face-to-face during group education.

This method switches between face-to-face and non-face-to-face education as needed, maintaining social distancing without reducing the concentration of education, and even incorporates elements of online games to stimulate learners' interest.

The Switching Learning method was first applied to the "Leadership and Common Competency Enhancement Training by Hierarchy" for employees of the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service. It is scheduled to be conducted over a total of 17 sessions from this month through October.

This training is a course aimed at enhancing organizational capabilities through leadership strengthening by rank and activation of communication. It is conducted strictly following quarantine guidelines such as one desk per person, unidirectional seating, dividing groups into fewer than 20 people, twice-daily temperature checks, and provision of hand sanitizers and masks.

Kang Soon-hee, Director of the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service, stated, "The Service will perform its role as a labor welfare hub," and added, "By presenting a new educational method that can overcome the COVID-19 situation, we will become a public institution welcomed by the people."
