Using Diverse Voices in Online Venues

Session Description

Diverse voices from different ethnicities and backgrounds can make learning, training, and marketing more effective for a number of reasons. According to research, exposure to diverse perspectives can lead to increased creativity and problem-solving ability. In addition, using diverse voices in learning materials can increase the perceived inclusivity and relevance of the content, leading to greater engagement and retention among learners. However, there are also potential drawbacks to using diverse voices in learning, training, marketing, and presentations. For example, if not done thoughtfully, using diverse voices can risk tokenization or stereotype reinforcement. It is important to ensure that diverse voices are included in a meaningful and respectful way, rather than simply as a superficial display of diversity.
