3 Tips To Meet Modern Learners Digital Expectations

B Online Learning

Did you know that people unlock their phones up to 9 times every hour? If you find this hard to believe, then think about how often you grab your phone as you see a notification light up or hear your phone chime. You might also be surprised to hear that employees get interrupted every 5 minutes and people now lose concentration only after 8 seconds, which is less than the 9 second attention span of the average goldfish!

Meanwhile, JVC’s VHS standard wasn’t quite as good, but they openly licensed it. The outcome: VHS won.

Learning and Performance Ecosystems

Association eLearning

Apparently, Learning and Development (L&D) doesn’t require air to survive. I say this because it’s frequently handled in a vacuum, away from everything it’s supposed to be connected to. It’s often brought in at the last minute as well. And yet there are still L&D departments and vendors. Pushing courses out is one thing, having an effective learning and performance ecosystem is another matter entirely.

Are Managers Really Critical To The Transfer Of Learning?

Over the years, L&D professionals have almost universally advocated that managers are critical to the transfer of learning – and it’s almost blasphemous to suggest otherwise. But why?
