We need a new approach to learning design that ensures deeper learning and “stickiness” for the learner and greater impact for the organization.

Small chunks of learning, spaced out over time, reinforce memory networks as learners retrieve the material over and over again. Their brains begin to create stronger neural pathways that are easier to access.
When it comes to improving knowledge retention, providing learners with any opportunity to effortfully recall what they’ve learned is invariably better than providing nothing at all.
Ongoing professional development is critical. However, many are overlooking what may be the most important part of the process: post-training follow-up.
With all the time and effort it takes to design and develop quality training programs, what can you do to increase the odds that learners will remember what you teach them? Here are five ways you can improve learning — and make it stick.
Our development approach is evolving, but the experience driving that evolution reveals insights that can help any organization ensure skills are retained and refined over time. We need to cultivate skills, and we need to make them stick.
Learning is a complex activity that can be influenced by a number of factors. The principles of social learning help instructional designers — whether they are designing for in-class delivery or distance learning — ensure that learning happens...
Learning only makes an impact if people remember what you teach them. Understanding how the brain processes and stores information can help you improve your training programs.
What happens to the information we spend so much time learning? Where does it go? Why can't we retrieve it when we need to? Often, we chalk this problem up to a lack of focus or understanding, but this reason is incomplete.
While the brain is complex and we don’t know everything about it, we do know some things about memory. We know enough to increase the chances of learners’ retaining information if they consume information in the best way.
