The intent is to provide a tool whereby organizations can understand what the possibilities are, assess themselves, and prioritize directions to move and improve. This is an updated version of the model in the book, and I think provides a useful framework for thinking about L&D. So I created a ‘maturity model’.

Which suggests, looking back at my previous exploration of worked examples, that the very first thing to do is to provide worked examples if they’re new. Assessing confidence is an extra step, but there seems to be a valid reason to incorporate it in your learning design. At some point, you give them practice.

Subscription learning is the idea that we can provide learners with learning events of very short duration (less than 5 or 10 minutes), and thread those events over time, preferably utilizing the spacing effect.
