For years, these three types of learning styles have been accepted as the trifecta of information retention. What is your preferred learning style? More importantly, what are your employees’ preferred styles of learning ? Social learning.

E-Learning and technology-aided learning in the workplace allows more flexibility and increases access to learning by huge proportions. It is then not a surprise that technology-aided learning is now being adopted by a majority of forward thinking organizations.

There are many benefits of training and online learning in the corporate sector and no one can question the need for training initiatives. More often than not, the two main culprits are: Learners’ apathy towards learning and lack of organizational support. When training is closely linked with organizational actions like employee evaluations or bonuses, it is a definite ‘push’ for learning. This is a huge driver for learning. e-Learning

This post curates resources shared via the backchannel of the 2015 ATD International Conference and Exposition being held May 17 – 20 in Orlando. I am a huge proponent of backchannel learning. The backchannel is an excellent resource for learning from a conference or event, even if you are unable to attend in-person. I find curating and reviewing backchannel resources to be a valuable learning experience for me, even when I am attending a conference in person.

Perhaps the highest level of learning with the deepest cognitive impact is informal learning. It’s what we call those precious learning moments where passion and curiosity meet to break all motivation and knowledge barriers. It is the self-directed learning that is triggered by an intrinsic drive and continues until all objectives in performance and knowledge have been achieved. Informal learning is a great outlet for reflective practice or experiential learning.

Do you consider yourself adept at handling social situations? Sometimes used as metrics for past learning or a description of learning style, personality tests usually have good intentions, but are ultimately skewed by the learner themselves. That’s why adaptive learning is so superior to other methods. By pairing adaptive capabilities with real-life metrics, it’s possible to create a personal learning experience for everyone.

Auditory learning comes in second, with roughly 30% of the population favoring this method.

Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer injury to our self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their self-importance, learn so easily; and why older people, especially if vain or arrogant, cannot learn at all.” ~ Thomas Szasz. One must learn by doing the thing. Learning is not compulsory… neither is survival. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.

Content marketing uses content for the purposes of attracting and retaining customers and online training uses content for the purposes of helping people to learn. In both disciplines, the content is valuable only if people (customers or learners) pay attention and buy or learn, respectively. Still, imagine how much more your learners would be engaged (and therefore learn) if you marketed your training so well that it “went viral”, too? I’m not a marketer. I’m an educator.
