Design with the Brain in Mind
There's a lot of learning science out there. You don't need to be a learning scientist to put it to use.
In this practical Lunch n Learn, Sheridan Webb draws on her Brain-Friendly Training Design work to share principles, tools and techniques for designing more effective training. We'll take a light-touch look at the science behind how people pay attention, process information, remember and apply what they've learned, then focus on what that means in practice: the choices you can actually make when designing training.
What we'll cover
How these three shape what people are actually able to learn.
Practical ways to make information easier to take in without stripping out its substance.
Design techniques that help learners make sense of, remember and retrieve what they've learned.
Why learning on its own isn't enough, and how to design with application and transfer in mind.
Simple, evidence-informed principles you can use on your own training material.
