In recent years, the use of audio and podcast in particular has become increasingly popular in the field of Corporate Learning. From instructional videos and podcasts to interactive multimedia presentations, these resources provide a dynamic and engaging way for learners to absorb new information and improve their skills.

In order to ensure that these resources are truly effective, it is crucial to evaluate and measure their impact on the learning experience. But with so many different statistics and methods available, it can be difficult to know where to begin.

Some examples include:

  1. Retention rate: the percentage of material that learners are able to recall and retain after listening to an audio lesson. This can be measured through quizzes, tests, or other assessments.
  2. Engagement rate: how actively and attentively they are listening to the audio material. It can be measured through self-report surveys or through tracking software that measures how much time they spend listening to the audio.
  3. Comprehension rate: the percentage of employees who are able to understand and apply the material presented in the audio lesson. This can be measured through quizzes, tests, or other assessments.
  4. Speed of learning: How quickly they are able to learn and retain the material presented in the audio lesson. This can be measured through assessments or by tracking the time it takes to complete a course.
  5. Satisfaction level: How satisfied learners are with the audio learning experience. This can be measured through self-report surveys or through interviews with employees.

It is important to note that these are just a few examples of the many different statistics that can be used to measure and evaluate learning with audio. The specific statistics used will depend on the goals and objectives of the audio learning program, as well as the needs and preferences of the students.

It is difficult to provide a specific percentage for the amount of knowledge that can be absorbed through audio format, as this can vary widely depending on a number of factors. 

Some of the factors that can influence knowledge absorption through audio format include:

  1. The quality of the audio: If the audio is of poor quality, it may be more difficult for learners to understand and absorb the material.
  2. The complexity of the material: Some types of material may be more difficult to understand and absorb when presented in audio format, particularly if they involve complex concepts or require visual aids to fully grasp.
  3. The learner's prior knowledge and experience: If a learner has prior knowledge or experience in a subject, they may be able to absorb new information more easily through audio format.
  4. The learner's learning style: Some learners may prefer to learn through audio format, while others may find it more challenging and may prefer other learning methods.

Overall, it is difficult to provide a specific percentage for the amount of knowledge that can be absorbed through audio format, as it can vary widely depending on these and other factors. It is generally recommended to use a combination of learning methods, including both audio and visual materials, to help learners fully understand and retain new information.
