My Oprah Moment: ATD ICE 2019

Learning Rebels

Oprah was the keynote speaker at the Association for Talent Development, International Conference and Expo (ATD ICE) this morning and she dropped the mic on all of us. I wish I could say that everyone got a car, but I guess that is not what the universe had in mind for me today. What the universe did have in mind for me, was to awaken my spirit.

How Well Do We Learn From Experiential Or Inquiry Learning Approaches?

Patti Shank

Direct instruction directly teaches the content. People are supplied with content and activities that help them build needed background knowledge. And we make sure that what they know is correct and usable. Indirect approaches use experiential or inquiry methods that prompt discovery of needed information and often simulate and test performance. Training people to identify hazardous materials in the workplace, for example, would likely have lessons, labs, and tests in a direct approach.
