Timing is Everything Series Intro, (Part 1 Anxiety coming May 10th). The Timing of Training. Plenty of time and energy is spent in talent development pondering answers to the “Who?” “What?”. “Why?” “Where?” and “How?” questions of training, but the question of “When?” is often limited to one answer: “Whenever time permits.”. However, the strategic element of timing in training is much more nuanced than this, and can lead to significant gains in return on investment if planned properly.

What you think and what you learn matters! When it comes to learner engagement, posts, visuals and videos are the ones that tend to click and resonate. To make learning ‘sticky’, the use of these mediums seem to lure learners by choice not force! At least, that’s what the current trends are indicating with the appeal quotient of the courses and content piquing the interest of learners.

A few weeks ago I published a series of posts that looked at how you learn a work and how you can support these different ways of learning. This was a very L&D-centric view of workplace learning, with training at the centre and the outer – and larger – concentric circles containing the other ways of learning at and for work. In this post, however, I want to consider the Individual’s Perspective of Workplace Learning.

I am writing this post on the day that the 5,000 to 1 longshot Leicester City Foxes football (in the U.S. “Soccer”) team clinched the 2016 Premier League Championship title. Since this is arguably the biggest underdog victory in the history of sports , it seems like a good time to investigate how we respond to underdogs. We need to delve into psychology as well as neuroscience to understand this phenomenon, and what it might mean to the learning professional.

Following elearning industry trends is something I enjoy doing – everything from the tech-tools to instructional design strategies. A few years back gamification was all the rage.

We’ve talked a lot about the important connection between the brain and learning. We know vision is the most powerful sense. I’m sure you’ve heard this before: Hear a piece of information, and three days later you’ll remember 10% of it. Add a picture and you’ll remember 65%. This is because our brain processes everything, including text, as pictures therefore reading a word is going to take longer and be laborious compared with processing an icon or image.
